Promises 'full and complete' healthcare plan in 'two weeks', which never materializes

In a Fox News interview with Chris Wallace, Trump declared, 'We're signing a health care plan within two weeks, a full and complete health care plan.' When pressed on the details, he insisted it would be comprehensive. This statement became a defining example of his recurring 'two weeks' rhetoric, a timeline he frequently used to defer difficult policy questions or promise imminent breakthroughs that rarely occurred. No such plan was signed within two weeks, or at any point during the remainder of his term.
