Trump says government should stop funding Medicare, daycare to focus on war

The government should stop funding Trump's $100M+ golf habit.

Let’s stop funding the war to focus on Medicare for everyone, education and daycare.

I am so tired of paying taxes just for these psychopaths to use it to fund death and destruction. No one in their right mind would choose that option over funding things that actually benefit human life. This is a deep sickness, simple as that.

From the article >President Donald Trump has said the U.S. government "can't take care" of child care, Medicaid or Medicare costs, suggesting states should fund the provisions while the federal government focuses on "military protection."

I'll never forgive anyone who voted for this.

Listnook would ban me for eternity with the amount of shit I wanna say

Put that on your midterm ads

Mexico has universal healthcare.

I thought the war was won and that we would be pulling out in 2 or 3 weeks. We can shift that $1B a day to Medicare for all, daycare, college, and student debt relief before May 1.

Bombs or healthcare? It should be an easy answer for any president, but not this one.

This is a man who isn't just content to shit in his own pants, but he's gotta leave a skid mark in everyone else's as well. What a f****** loser.

I’d rather fund universal healthcare, housing for the homeless, food for the poor and starving, and tax billionaires, then fund this or most wars. Maybe he should just ask his buddies for money and then drain some of his accounts…

"Please kill me daddy" - Maga boomers

He means funding his war on America.

Of f****** course… I am retiring in July after over 50 years of paying into Medicare and Social Security. Fucknuts wants to rugpull me so HE can not pay taxes and have us pay for his golfing and his wars and his “ballroom” and his “arch” and his innumerable scams and ripoffs. Thanks soooo much to you knuckledragging cousinfuckers who thought it would be cool to have a felonious child raper as president! As me how I really feel.

Maybe the billionaires should be paying for their war

Daily reminder that if you've ever voted for this gilded pedophile then f*** you.

Healthcare doesn't distract from Epstein, duh

Oh yeah, dig that hole deeper!!! See MAGA??? We know he sounds good to you, and he says all those wonderfully hateful things you wish you had the courage to say to people, but that's just all sweet talk because these motherfuckers CAN'T GOVERN...

And yet they wonder why theres a fertility crisis. No one wants to have kids in a world where everything bankrupts you.

What's pretty significant about this is in 2016, Trump ran on not cutting any programs like Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare. It really differentiated himself from other Republicans and caused voters to look at him as "more moderate." I mean now his brain is complete mush and he's regurgiatating talking points that have been bandied about, but it's still a huge shift, even for him.

I work in hospice. I wouldn’t doubt for a minute that these ghouls would end the hospice benefit.

Maybe the givernment should just fund what Congress approved money for. Better yet just spend money for what Congress approves in a balanced budget.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." (1953 "Chance for Peace" speech) - Dwight D. Eisenhower

Maybe Barron should enlist. Your prospective would change nearly instantly

Don't be fooled, Trump would stop funding these things regardless if there was a war or not.

He and the Dept of War have been clear. We aren’t fighting any wars, that would be illegal without Congressional approval. So why do we need to increase their budget? BTW why do we continue to pour money into a department that can’t pass an audit? F You Trump. You are a demented old man with no empathy nor the ability to understand the complexities of a world that must think globally.

In the speech, it’s more jarring than the headline. Trump basically says the federal government shouldn’t do anything aside from military/defense. He has been quickly hollowing out the federal government. They want to force states to pick up the slack. The states can’t borrow to pay their bills, so the states will go bankrupt and collapse, because the federal government will crush them. I fear that Yarvin’s corporate-owned city-states is the endgame.

It's infuriating that a serial draft dodger is now playing war and talking about cutting essential services in order to fund it. Congress needs to grow a pair and invoke the 25th amendment.

Trump is doing as much as he possibly can to destroy the U.S.

>Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. >The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. >It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. >We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. >This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking. >This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron. >These plain and cruel truths define the peril and point the hope that come with this spring of 1953. >This is one of those times in the affairs of nations when the gravest choices must be made, if there is to be a turning toward a just and lasting peace. It is a moment that calls upon the governments of the world to speak their intentions with simplicity and with honesty. >It calls upon them to answer the question that stirs the hearts of all sane men: is there no other way the world may live? - President Dwight Eisenhower

So, taxing the billionaires who barely pay taxes is not an option then?

The absolute whiplash that is this man's comments. Last night it was 2-3 weeks of intense bombing, sending Iran back to the stone age. Today its cut funding for valuable domestic entitlements and programs to continue funding the war. Are we almost done or just getting started?! You gonna cut funding to Medicare for 2-3 weeks worth of bombing?

Don't let anyone tell you medicare and social security are doomed. They're not. We just need to raise taxes on the wealthy so they pay their fair share. Here's the [budget reform](https://open.substack.com/pub/logangodkin/p/the-problem-with-the-us-budget?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=post%20viewer) that get us to medicare for all and a healthy social security fund. It's do-able. You just can't keep giving tax cuts to the wealthy.

I wonder how this fits into America First? Killing Americans so they can afford to kill Iranians doesn't sound like America first to me.

He doesn't just r*** kids, he rapes poor people too!

Total Déjà vu. Like France before the French Revolution.

I thought the whole campaign was no more wars let’s take care of stuff at home? Oh that’s right this guy never intended to do anything but make him and his buddies rich.

Well I hope this affects as many Trump voters as possible.

Every day is a new low. The most embarrassing administration to ever exist.

The f****** White House is our most expensive f****** taxpayer funded daycare

I don't see how any MAGA voters could ever be forgiven for putting this criminal child rapist fraudster and psychopath in power a *second f****** time*.

"The president of peace", truly.

If you've ever uttered the phrase "why are we spending money on all these foreign countries instead of helping people in our OWN country?!" and you still support this dude.... why?

So what’s happening with the Trumpstien files?

If Biden was saying shit line this the Republicans would be already starting the Impeachment trails.

So you're going to take that Medicare that you deduct from my every paycheck to buy bombs? And that Medicare part B premium I pay every month?

Yet, they accuse Iran of spending money on its military but not on its people. America has zero self-awareness.

Shut it, Piggy

What a piece of shit

It probably one of the reasons he started the war. But there’s plenty of money for him to rob from Americans Epstein Epstein Epstein just to keep it viral

Well if that is the case, then the states should start withholding all of the federal taxes collected. Don't send it to the federal government and use it to fund the programs 🍊💩 doesn't want to fund.

But he keeps saying it isn't a war...

A werewolf in wolf’s clothing, yet strangely his followers said the wolf wasn’t that bad🙄

Republicans are only happy when they are hurting people, including American citizens. They do NOTHING to help the people, they only help the billionaires.

If America was not full of stupid and extremely evil people this man would be rotting in a f****** cell. America is a f****** evil empire in its complicity.

Aka he wants to steal even more from Americans and dump those funds into his dumb ass war. I can almost guarantee, Trump, or someone closely related to him, will get the very lucrative contract to rebuild/clean up over there once this nonsense is over. Trump is the quintessential thief.
