4d chess players get out ahead of those sorts of things.
Yeah, Bobby Fischer used to go an about this kind of thing, too.

And the bottom line is that something people have talked about for years, gets done.

Yeah, except for the minor detail that none of them are done yet. They all would need to go through the HHS rule-making process which kicks the can past the election.
Some of the measures Trump was ridiculing as recently as 6 months ago.
Remember he campaigned on letting Medicare negotiate drug prices in 2016. After the election he had one - one! - meeting with drug lobbyists and exited parroting their line about 'we can't have government set drug prices'.
This is a cheap election ploy.
Only non-witches get due process.

He hasn't done it, he's Tweeted about it.

Yes, and all Democrat politicians are altruistic at heart and have never done anything political, even though it actually helped people.

Yep. And I've also said some people are all hat and no cattle. Some people can effect no change at all, even if they try. Yet, they can constantly belittle people who are actually trying to accomplish something.
