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.”

    Cheque and check are two different things you’re just uneducated. A check is the mark you make to select a box, while a cheque is the thing you write to transfer money from one bank account to another. They’re different and yes people all over the US know the difference between the two.

      I’m aware of what those using British English would argue. But no official documents (laws, forms, government regulations) in the US use that spelling. It’s check here.

      Claiming someone else is uneducated because they’re not being an uppity contrarian to how every single official source in the entire country spells something…is just stupid.

      It’s been this way since Webster out out his 1806 dictionary. Go argue with him about it.
