QOTD -- "Touching" Medicaid

 

The incompetent, illiterate, sadistic buffoon and his fascist minions will still try to lie their way out of this conundrum of their own making:

"Trump hosted a meeting with some moderates and some members of the Main Street Caucus on Wednesday, where he listened to concerns and touted the wins in the legislation, two sources told NOTUS," reported Riley Rogerson and Reese Gorman. However, "Trump still doesn’t seem to have a firm grasp about what his signature legislative achievement does. According to three sources with direct knowledge of the comments, the president told Republicans at this meeting that there are three things Congress shouldn’t touch if they want to win elections: Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security."

At this, one of the Republicans in attendance piped up and reminded him, “But we’re touching Medicaid in this bill.”

As early as February, Trump proclaimed he would not cut Medicaid even as he endorsed a House budget blueprint that all but guaranteed significant cuts to the public insurance program.  (our emphasis)

The Malignant Fascist and his cult party are not only "touching" Medicaid, they're doing what the MF did to E. Jean Carroll and countless other women.  

Of course the addled moron doesn't know what's in his signature, soon-to-pass "One Big Beautiful Bill" for billionaires!  Even if he did, he'd lie about it to suit his purposes, and his credulous cult members will believe him even as they lose their Medicaid and their rural hospitals close their doors.  But, we're pretty sure he's right about MAGAt Republicans losing elections for "touching" social safety net programs like Medicaid, because we think there are just enough sentient Americans left to do just that.
