1. Does Trump even know what constitutes a 401(k)?

He's an idiot.

He doesn't know what he's talking about.

He should be asked to explain himself tomorrow night.

2. Fear Mongering

He is just fear mongering again like always. Only play book he has since he and the GOP cannot ruin on his record. Wage growth is a better barometer of the economy and it was horrible before the pandemic and still is.

As far as health care goes he is just spouting off the GOP talking points they continue to use. United States is the only industrial country in world without some sort of national health plan that covers all their citizens. Where is his plan. Still have not seen it.

3. I heard an interview on an NPR

program with a member of the Brennan Justice Center. He had some good ideas about improving the election process in the US.

One - Automatcally register all citizens to vote when they turn 18, same as the registration for the draft. It would eliminate the partisan-imposed hurdles. Automatically register naturalized citizens as part of the process.

Two - Have non-partisan election commissions oversee all elections instead of having individual persons from each of the two major parties as overseers. (Not sure it would be possible to have people uncommitted to a party. Even Independents favor one party or the other.)

Three - Eliminate the electoral college.

He also had some ideas on preventing the extreme jerrymandering of Congressional districts, but I don't remember specific ones right now.

When we have the WH and both chambers of Congress, I hope some of these changes can be achieved.
