Trump: "We will pass the great healthcare plan. It's called our great healthcare plan. That's the name of it."

Americans see right through it. In our recent polling, many expressed serious concerns that Trump is corrupt and focused on enriching himself, his family, and his wealthy donors. Take a look: navigatorresearch.org/trumps-ballr...
