      Regarding the 2017 comment: I was at work and read that quote “nobody knew healthcare could be so complicated” and I laughed hard for a while. Then sighed. Then I had to go for a walk. Deep down I had really doubted someone could get that far in life and be as dumb as he appeared to be. That statement shredded that thought. He wasn’t acting. He was really that dumb, and the next three years were going to be rough.
