Trump says administration is 'only' going to make permanent cuts to 'Democrat programs'.

Trumps says that “we will be making cuts that are permanent and we’re only going to cut Democrat programs, I hate to tell you”.

“We’re only cutting Democrat programs,” he repeats. “We’ll be cutting some very popular Democrat programs that aren’t popular with Republicans, frankly, that’s the way it works.”

1. No Donny, that's the way YOU work

Joe Biden did all he could to help ALL Americans, regardless of whether they lived in a red or blue state.

You, sir, are just a FUCKING ASSHOLE and I hope you eat shit and die you fucking Nazi fuck.

2. So, just cutting programs that help the greatest number of people the most

And only leaving those that bring more bling to a handful of greedy bootlicking asshats who could give a shit about you, I or anyone else.

3. No surprise. That's the Republican MO anyway. Nothing new

there perv.

4. In that case, we must DEMAND that the ultimate bill MUST INCLUDE

very specific language preventing Trump from taking any such punitive actions.

It is no longer adequate to say that it must include, at minimum, the extension of ACA premium support. It now must GUARANTEE that there be no retribution in the allocation of appropriated funds. So Senators and Representatives, get to work on that.

5. Evilness just seeps from his pores

What does he consider, "Democractic," programs? Anything that helps the needy, the sick, children, seniors, the environment, human rights, on and on and on.

6. All those "Democrat" programs were set up to help EVERYONE who qualifies,

no matter how they vote, because only a sociopathic malignant narcissist would demand personal loyalty in order to receive government benefits. And a LOT of Trump voters have benefited from these so-called “Democrat” programs.

May you reap what you sow, “Sir”.

7. PLEASE PROCEED. If he wants to kick 20 million of his own voters off their healthcare,

AND SAY SO PUBLICLY, IM not gonna tell him no.
'Sir, no, please PLEASE don't throw poor, poor Brear Fox into that nasty ole' briar bush.'.

Do it, Donnie, you complete fucking moron. I DARE you.
