Easier: Make some trivial amendment to it (does not need to be ratified), and then just start calling it something else. "It was a disaster, but We Fixed It because I'm your favorite."

Isn't that how they "fixed ACA" last time around? Failed to have the votes to repeal it, so they "saved" it

They got rid of the much hated, terrible, corrupt, illegal Obamacare and replaced it with the much loved and wonderful Affordable Care Act.

Can't tell if trolling

Not sure if you are the same person. But anyway, I cannot read your mind. Please explain your justifications for the claim or please share an article that does it.

USMCA was NAFTA, which Trump was against before and then supported it after the rename. Only the name changed, the treaty did not.

This is where we are at. So many people are unaware that ACA is Obamacare. Obamacare evil.

Trump replaced NAFTA with USMCA during his first term. He claimed it was the best deal ever. This term, he's claiming the deal is terrible and starting a trade war (which is likely not winnable and probably ends up settling for something approximating NAFTA again). Which is it? Best deal ever, or crap? He's lying about one.

So I searched for "NAFTA USMCA difference" and there are a lot of articles that describe the differences. I agree that Trump sometimes exaggerate stuff, but that does not mean that there is nothing is there. I think It is very dishonest to claim that all the current administration is doing is just continuing what the previous ones did, but with changed names.

Trump signed USMCA. Now he claims some idiot did USMCA.

Who me or the politicians who go to town halls and tell their constituents this is what they did (one of the 5 things they did this week perhaps).

> if most people can't read it? By reading the headline

This. Many HN users don't read the articles. Some are even unapologetic about it, explicitly admitting that they're here only for the comments.

Some of us rarely read the articles. They're often, frankly, a waste of time. And it's hard to tell just by the headline whether it's worth reading or not. The comments often tell me whether the article is worth reading faster than the article would. (And some of the time the article is paywalled, and some of the time it's a video, which makes it harder to skim.)

And often I learn more from the comments than I would from the article.

Yeah, I've seen a few videos where people are asked if they want to purge Obamacare, then asked if they support the Affordable Care Act, the reactions are priceless.

The US President is motivated entirely by spite and personal benefits vendettas. The only reason to repair the CHIPS act is because it was one of Biden's bigger accomplishments, and Trump can't stand that. That's literally all it is.

Not only spite. Also what his handlers tell him.
