“Piece by piece by piece, Obamacare is just being wiped out,” Trump said while talking about health care. “The individual mandate essentially wipes it out.”

Eliminating the individual mandate most certainly does not wipe out the Affordable Care Act, which is exactly why the Trump administration is taking several subsidiary steps to deregulate the insurance industry and allow for the comeback of skimpy health insurance plans that offer little coverage and don’t protect people with preexisting health conditions.

But Trump says the opposite: that “people are getting great health care plans” under his changes, which are, in fact, aimed at making people’s health plans worse. The biggest policy change the Trump administration is making on health care, however, is big regulatory changes that will make it harder for people to get Medicaid — an idea that was totally missing from the health section of the speech.

“We have ended the war on beautiful, clean coal,” said Trump, “one of our great natural resources.” In fact, US coal consumption dropped in 2017 as natural gas and renewables continue to displace it, and Trump’s own Federal Energy Regulatory Commission appointees killed Trump’s proposed bailout of US coal plants.

This all eventually looped back to immigration, where Trump claimed, in total defiance of the facts, that “Democrats have totally abandoned DACA.” In reality, of course, Democrats tried to strike a deal with Trump to offer a legislative fix for immigrants protected under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program in exchange for border wall funding. Trump himself agreed to the deal, only to have it scotched by Chief of Staff John Kelly, working with conservative members of Congress. But here’s Trump at CPAC promising the crowd, “We’re going to have the wall or they’re not going to have what they want.”
