Donald Trump doesn’t think the federal government should fund child care, Medicare, or Medicaid.
At an Easter Lunch reception at the White House Wednesday, the president told guests what exactly he thought about what the U.S. should be prioritizing, and it doesn’t bode well for the government’s most widely used and popular social programs.
“I said to [Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought], ‘Don’t send any money for daycare because the United States can’t take care of daycare.’ That has to be up to a state. We can’t take care of daycare. We’re a big country. We have 50 states. We have all these other people,” Trump said. “We’re fighting wars. We can’t take care of daycare. You got to let a state take care of daycare and they should pay for it, too. They should pay. They’ll have to raise their taxes, but they should pay for it. And we could lower our taxes a little bit to them to make up.”
“It’s not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things. They can do it on a state basis. You can’t do it on a federal. We have to take care of one thing: military protection. We have to guard the country. But all these little things, all these little scams that have taken place, all you have to you have to let states take care of them,” Trump continued.
It’s a glaring admission from Trump, who confessed point-blank that he thinks the government’s only responsibility is to fund the military. It explains why he supported a bloated military budget even before starting the war in Iran. It also explains why he didn’t seem to mind massive cuts to Medicare and Medicaid with his “Big Beautiful Bill” last year. The White House’s YouTube account, after broadcasting Trump’s remarks live, has made the video private on the website.
The Trump administration tried to use child care funding as a way to punish five Democratic-led states earlier this year, suspending federal funding for public welfare programs in New York, California, Colorado, Illinois, and Minnesota and making false claims about fraud. While that decision was struck down by a federal judge on Tuesday, his comments about Medicare and Medicaid don’t bode well for the millions of Americans who depend on them. How will Trump’s fellow Republicans, and the rest of the country, take these disturbing remarks?
We're pro-family values. No, we won't pay you enough to raise a family. No, we won't fund childcare so that you can work. No, we won't fund education to make your kids not retarded No, we won't fund healthcare to keep your kids healthy. But YES, we will fund the military to put your sons into coffins for Israel. -

For those who don't know, the "person" who made this post is a pedophile (and an actual, unironic tranny). He posted CP on here and then doubled down by posting more eroticized pictures of little girls:

No disrespect for hard working waitresses. Taxpayers shouldn't be funding other people's children in any regard. Only people who paid into entitlement systems like SS should receive any benefits. Cut out all the fraud waste & abuse, and the system won't be in such dire financial straits.
