Trump "reportedly overheard" telling House Republicans "Don't fuck with Medicaid" [View all]
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.
