    Of course he will!  No brainer, really.  Unlikely to get through the House but if it did then that way he can replace the massively popular ACA with trump's much vaunted, "concept of a plan"

    The big difference being.....Trump's cabinet isn't in it for the money like Biden's is. It has already been shown that Trump's previous tax cuts lowered taxes for the lower/mid class more than any of the libs will admit. It was clear that Biden  cared more about foreigners than Americans.

    @THEMUGG

     It isn't just that.  But why would you not want proven successful leaders instead of 'ordinary' folks advising you and helping set policy for your country.  

    Folks just cannot stand 'rich' or 'successful' people.  They inherently think they have done something underhanded to get where they are.  They are too envious instead of listening to something they may have to say that might be useful to them.

    US has a billionaire problem.  Malignant oligarchs exerting excess power over politics, media, taxation and justice system.  Policies that serve the rich could be bad for everyone else.  For example, tax cuts for the rich resulting in cuts of government services for the poor and middle class.  This is tyranny of minority over the majority.  That is one of the reasons why US has a failing democracy. Countries with a higher fraction of politically connected billionaires tend to be more corrupt.

    MSNBC reports that Trump administration is looking into privatizing US postal service.  This is a bad idea.  Mailing would become more expensive.  For example, federal express charges $10-$30 to mail a letter compared to under $1.00 for US postal service.  Since rural outlets are unprofitable, many would be forced to close.  Besides, polls show Americans love US postal service.
