Trump says Medicaid-slashing tax bill doesn't cut 'anything meaningful' [View all]
Dear Leader Donald Trump left the gilded White House on Tuesday to head to Capitol Hill, where he tried to strong-arm House Republicans into voting for his "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" by saying that the legislation, which is expected to rip health care and food stamps away from millions of low-income Americans, doesn't cut "anything meaningful."
Trump made the wildly out-of-touch and false comment after he held a closed-door meeting with the sycophantic House Republican conference, which, as of this writing, appears not to have the votes to pass his dog-shit legislation. His visit was an effort to twist arms and get enough of the holdouts onboard to pass the bill.
"We're not doing any cutting of anything meaningful," Trump said, referring to the bill that is expected to cause 13.7 million people to lose their health insurance, and put nearly 11 million at risk of losing food assistance. "The only thing we're cutting is waste, fraud, and abuse. With Medicaidwaste, fraud, and abuse. There's tremendous waste, fraud, and abuse.
We have illegal aliens that are multiple killers, with multiple murder records, getting Medicaid."
In fact, the bill creates Medicaid work requirements, which experts say will be extremely costly to enforce and will lead people who are eligible to receive Medicaid benefits to lose their coverage because of bureaucratic red tape. The bill will also let enhanced premium tax credits that help Americans pay for Affordable Care Act plans expire, which would cause more than 4 million people to lose their insurance.
