News: Trump and advisers looking to revise proposed plans

President-elect Donald Trump and key advisers in recent days have backed away from some of the most sweeping pledges that the Republican candidate made on the campaign trail, suggesting that his administration may not deliver on promises that were important to his most fervent supporters.

Trump built his campaign message around bold vows to, among other things, force Mexico to pay for a massive border wall, fully repeal the Affordable Care Act and ban Muslims from entering the United States. But in the days since his upset election victory, he or his advisers have suggested that those proposals and others may be subject to revision.

On President Obama’s health-care law, for example, Trump said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal on Friday that he would like to keep some parts of the law intact and may seek to amend the statute rather than repeal it. Trump said he came to the conclusion after Obama, during Trump’s Oval Office visit Thursday, suggested areas of the law that should be preserved.

Trump suggested provisions that prevent insurers from refusing coverage for preexisting conditions and which allow children to stay on their parents’ health plans until age 26 should stay. “I like those very much,” he said.

In the same interview, Trump also avoided answering whether he would follow through on a campaign vow to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while secretary of state. “It’s not something I’ve given a lot of thought, because I want to solve health care, jobs, border control, tax reform,” he said.

Lebanese Dude

He's such a mess.

I know we will want to cling to these breadcrumbs because it makes us feel better. But please do not let your guard down.

You all should be glad he is walking back his earlier statements. He probably said the things he said thinking he was never going to be a president and now that he is a president the reality is setting in.

xxtinaxx

or maybe he doesn't even have a plan and just goes with the flow.

Toya

Here for Obama secretly becoming Trump's main advisor and taking advantage of the fact that he's scared and has no idea what to do

NE.

You do realize the presidency isn't a dictatorship? Every president has advisors.

You know for as educated as Hillary supporters claim they are they sure don't know how government works.

And LOL at you all having meltdowns and literally crying in fear of his plans and are now criticizing him for adjusting them? Like what outcome do you want out of this? The man could cure climate change, fix the economy, end war, and y'all would still be petty.

No, your candidate lost and you won't get to shout "YASS QUEEN HILL" for the next 4 years. Move on

I'm telling you, he never wanted the job. It was clear from day one and patently clear in his acceptance speech. He couldn't have looked less thrilled. He's enjoyed the celebrity of the election, but at the end of the day would have been happy to lose. He doesn't have a clue what to do.

He even said as much when talking about speaking to Hillary. He said he figured it was way tougher for her than it would have been for him. like ???

Even if he didn't want it, many Americans feel more comfortable knowing his opponent will never get it.

Good night. xo

I hope he will withdraw on some of the poor decisions and plans made by Obama. I think Obama is a great person but a mediocre president.

I never said he's going to majorly pivot, I'm just saying that he's already dropping some of the ideas that made the republicans vote for him.
