Donald Trump warned Tuesday that if the Democrats don’t approve funding, there are dangers to the future of Social Security and Medicare.

Trump said at a press conference that when he asked Democrats for feedback on the funding bills, one said, “It means death.”

“There’s nothing about death,” Trump said. “Theirs is death because they’re going to lose Medicaid, they’re going to lose Social Security, they’re going to lose Medicare, all of those things are going to be gone because the whole country would be bankrupt, and you’re not going to have any kind of medical insurance.”

    Same message Democrats communicated when people demanded a viable non-genocidal candidate who doesn’t thank Dick Chaney for his “service”, surrender or is your fault.

    The illusion that Democrats are fighting on your behalf is just that. Two sides of one fascist coin, only one side is rustier.

      I don’t disagree that Democrats are problematic and have much to improve. But that “both sides” is some tart kool-aid to drink, to think that things would be the same or even worse had Trump lost. I’d like less rust, please. Also, that definition of fascist is a very broad and loose one if Harris falls into it. Must be the one that Trump used, where it’s combined with “communist”, “socialist”, and other words he has no understanding of.

          No dude, I’m just not a fucking moron.

          I’ve got no interest in relitigating the election, I’m well aware of what she said regarding Israel.
