Donald Trump warned Tuesday that if the Democrats don’t approve funding, there are dangers to the future of Social Security and Medicare.
Trump said at a press conference that when he asked Democrats for feedback on the funding bills, one said, “It means death.”
“There’s nothing about death,” Trump said. “Theirs is death because they’re going to lose Medicaid, they’re going to lose Social Security, they’re going to lose Medicare, all of those things are going to be gone because the whole country would be bankrupt, and you’re not going to have any kind of medical insurance.”
At this point, it will rip the bandaid off and make desperate people come after Republicans. That’s the best possible outcome.
When one side tells truths and the other only lies, the side that lies controls the narrative. They’ll go after Democrats.
Republicans have always polled as responsible for every government shutdown in recent memory. Its doubtful that it will be any different this time, especially when the dems have stuck hard to the one issue of subsidies.
The republicans can tell as many lies as they want, but this is one of the few circumstances where their lies cant override the lived experience of their supporters. They know their healthcare will evaporate or triple in cost. Even their dumbass voters know that their representatives are doing them dirty here
