The assumption to make here is that Trump is willing to try to do everything he's said. This is a guy who literally tried to ban Muslims after all.

Personally, I think that the tumult of his administration is going to get in the way of its own agenda, as evidenced by his first presidency. Half of the people on his staff will be gone before the first year is out, and Trump is going to spend more time golfing than he will actually governing. His biggest focus will be on monetizing the presidency, and he surrounds himself with incompetent sycophants.

These and other factors make it difficult to say what he will actually achieve.

As for the ACA, it was a conservative court that stopped him the first time, so the SCOTUS is no slam dunk. I don't think anyone can definitively state what will happen with regards to health care in this country.

    JD Vance was made his running mate cause JD Vance is down with project 2025 and will be doing the actual running of things.

    So it doesnt matter what Trump is off doing. JD Vance will be back at the office, doing the nasty work that trump will rubber stamp.

    You can speculate on that, but history would demonstrate that you're probably wrong. Hell, Trump tried to get his own VP assassinated last time.

    I'm sure they think they can control Trump, but as we saw from 2016 to 2020, they can't. That's especially true at Trump's age and with his cognitive decline.
