    The former Detroit public health official even floated the idea of naming major healthcare legislation after Trump.

    “Put his name on it,” El-Sayed said. “He’ll probably pass it. I’m not above doing that. I don’t care what it’s called.”

      For the lazy, and for some weird bug where the link only works every other time I click it, other wise it just goes to ALL their comment history:

        This would actually probably work. Trump is a raging narcissist, and the best way to manipulate narcissists is to stroke their ego.

          Big if true

          here's the text behind a spoiler tag

          Here’s how you get stuff done with a Democratic majority in Congress and Trump as president. Draft a bill to shut down ICE operations, enact Medicare for All, etc… and name it the Trump is the Greatest President Ever bill.

          Add in a Triumphal Arch and maybe even authorization to convert Stone Mountain into a bust of Trump. Hell I’d trade a stupid arch for MFA.

          The mental anguish it would cause Trump to even contemplate vetoing a bill named Trump is the Great President Ever bill would be too much for him to bear.

          It’s worth trying.

          As far as the Iran war is concerned, draft a bill that stops the war, pays reparations and begins a normalization process and call it the Trump won the Iran war bill, or something like that.

          He’s so demented and diminished now that, this could actually work.

          The “Trump Brilliantly Fixes the SCOTUS” bill, expanding the court, should be the last one in December 2028. Just in time for the new Democrat president to nominate justices.

      I have been saying this. Pass Trumpcare and Trump bucks. He will love to sign shit with his name on it. He will be really happy to replace Obamacare with Trumpcare.

      World leaders have known that one weird trick for a while. Trump’s ego is a backdoor to all sorts of things. I imagine others have used it before he got President too. It’s the ones that forget how they got on his good side and do something to piss him off that lose. Some of them only take days to find that out, like the last press secretary.
