    Trump has arguably done more today to damage America than any President in history has during their entire first term. 

    Here is a recap in case you missed it all:

    - Trump paused all aid to Ukraine.
    - Trump and DOGE have laid off 10% of the NIH's Alzheimer's research center.
    - Trump announced 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico starting tomorrow.
    - Trump announced 20% tariffs on China.
    - Investor Peter Schiff, who endorsed Trump now calls for investigation into Trump for alleged “pump-and-dump scheme.”
    - The DOW, NASDAQ and S&P fall huge.
    - Canada announces plans for huge retaliatory tariffs against America.

    “We had a very meaningful meeting in the White House today. Much was learned that could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure. It’s amazing what comes out through emotion, and I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations. I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE. 

    He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace.”

    –President Donald J. Trump

    Out of touch, evil assholes. I have retired and disabled relatives in their 70s and up who apparently need to get back to work and also get private insurance they cannot afford. :electropop:

    Rest of conversation -

    REPORTER: You’re saying Medicaid cuts will push people back to work?

    BARR: That’s right. Work-capable adults need to get off taxpayer-funded programs.

    REPORTER: But Medicaid isn’t just for "work-capable adults"—you’re cutting care for seniors, veterans, disabled people, low-income families, and children.

    BARR: We need to encourage self-sufficiency and reduce government dependency.

    REPORTER: How does taking healthcare from disabled Americans make them “self-sufficient”?

    BARR: We’re making sure resources go to those who truly need them.

    REPORTER: So seniors in nursing homes, working-class families, and veterans don’t "truly need" healthcare?

    BARR: They have options, like private insurance.

    REPORTER: Private insurance that’s unaffordable for the very people you’re cutting off?

    BARR: The goal is to strengthen the economy by encouraging work.

    REPORTER: So a single mom working two jobs should just "work harder" to afford care she already had?

    BARR: We believe in empowering Americans, not trapping them in government programs.

    REPORTER: By forcing them into medical debt, bankruptcy, or worse? Medicaid is the safety net. It keeps hospitals open, helps people stay employed, and supports those who can’t work.
