Trump says let the states take care of day care, Medicaid, Medicare “all these individual things.”
The White House took this down but it was too late. It was already out there:
He says he told Russ Vought to stop funding day care. The King has spoken.
I will just remind people of what he said about child care during the campaign:
I know it hurts the head to listen to that gobbldygook and he’d obviously never given that issue a moment’s thought before the question was asked. But he did promise that it would be available, that he would back legislation and that the tariffs would bring in so much money that everyone would be able to get it. Now he’s telling Vought to defund it and telling the states to pick up the slack.
Trump likes to say “if you don’t control the border you don’t have a country anymore.” I think it’s clear that if you make Trump president you don’t have a country anymore. He said it: “the federal government can only take care of one thing — military protection.” I’m sure he believes that DHS thugs should be part of that too.
Basically he’s saying the U.S. government is nothing more than a protection racket. The states are all individual countries responsible for the welfare of the citizens. Good to know.
It’s interesting that they took down that video after it had been posted. I can’t imagine why they would be worried about anything he says in it. After all, he spent the day calling Springsteen a dried up old prune and posted deeply weird stuff about Jasmine Crocket being related to Davy Crocket (with a picture of Fess Parker who played the role on TV.) It’s clear that he’s lost his mind. But I would guess it was comments like this that sent terror through the GOP incumbents who knows that saying the federal government can’t pay for day care, Medicaid and Medicare is the kiss of death for them.
