Trump "reportedly overheard" telling House Republicans "Don't fuck with Medicaid"

[Miles Archer]

The House Republican budget bill cuts Medicaid, and some deficit hawks want further cuts. But on Tuesday, President Donald Trump told them in no uncertain terms that they had better not do it.

Trump was on Capitol Hill to meet with the caucus after the GOP held legislative votes and meetings under the cloak of darkness to discuss controversial budget cuts.

"He's right now speaking to the Republican conference behind closed doors. We're just getting some video of the ovation that he got as he entered the room," reported NBC News' senior White House correspondent Gab Gutierrez. "And the president is also saying that he does not expect there to be any meaningful cuts to Medicaid in this one big, beautiful bill that he's touting.

"He's also telling the hardliners on the deficit reductions who want to see those deep Medicaid cuts not to mess with Medicaid. He actually used the 'F-word' when talking about Medicaid. He said, don't F with Medicaid. Only focus on fraud and abuse," reported Nobles.

2. Yep, that's why "reportedly overheard" went in quotes.

All I believe is the end result. They are supposedly going to try to ram this through after midnight tonight, at 1 AM. We'll see what happens then.

4. He does know how to keep his gullible little fishies on the line.

I wouldn't put it past him to have leaked this to hide behind when, at his instruction, they gut the program.

3. Yeah, like he is going to read the bill

If they put on his desk. It could call for his own execution on page 2 and he'd sign it.

7. Will that scholarly quote appear on one of his monuments? Made into a song?

[Miles Archer]

8. Yeah. A Kid Rock song.

"Don't Fuck With Medicaid, Motherfuckers."

Those are all the lyrics. He just repeats them for 4 minutes and throws in a few "y'all's."
