A few months into the Trump presidency; will #Trumpcare #MAGA?

"Pomp and circumstance" is all I've heard from the cable news channels this morning, because Trump is in France for some reason (Macron wants something from the U.S. probably), I could see Obama going to France to dine with Macron at the "Le Jules Verne" too. Hence #MAGA appears to mean make America stay the same. Although I shouldn't say that, because who knows what's going on behind the scenes as far as gutting environmental & labor regulations? & Goldman Sachs is firmly represented in Trump's cabinet; so who know what's going on with bank regulations?

But so far, from what I can see (by watching "noticias Univison") with Trump the only tangible change has been deportations going up & immigrant families being separated. Thus, Agriculture as well as other industries which rely on cheap labor are having a hard time finding workers (Although; maybe those industries should pay more to find American workers?).

I've done well during the Obama years (thank God) & the foundation of the economic progress following the crisis of '08 seems to be strong, thus I expect to do well during any presidency (hopefully). But I thought Trump was going to #MAGA? And what does that mean exactly?
So far, Republicans are just trying to cut Medicaid, give tax cuts to the rich, & today they're even still trying to attack Hillary for "colluding" with Ukraine (? ) (Isn't the neverending '16 election over? Besides, even if Ukraine wanted Hillary to win; wouldn't that prove the Trump administration is pro-Russia? Since Ukraine is pro-West and is in conflict with Russia?).

But anyways, back to #MAGA. In this country, is up to you to do well, but luck has a lot to do with it as well. If you were lucky to be born into a stable family with stable income, or had parents who had built up wealth, you're probably doing well (or maybe not: everybody has different circumstances).
Among other things, the government can provide infrastructure, education, national security, and a "social safety net" in case you fall on hard times. Following today's senate unveiling of the new #Trumpcare bill, it appears the GOP thinks destroying the "social safety net" will #MAGA.

I don't think so.
