Is President Donald Trump Open To Making Medicare Cuts? | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Felony president protected by a criminal Republican senate! Sad day for justice!!
@88Gibson LesPaul this TREASON traverses the world’s oceans and is in New Zealand, Australia, Germany and most of Europe, Africa and even the Saudi kingdom who Washington DC is secretly aligned with against the world ,.. This began decades before trump was in office
@glenn anderson but you don’t have the facts. you only know what Corporate media has told you..
Remove agent orange face so America can go back to work.
Send Ronald McDonald back inside a garbage bin, he is unhealthy for society.
2be Blunt We just won the trade war with China, tariffs did that. Tariffs also got Mexico to assist with the immigration problem. Also the wall created jobs, he created millions of various manufacturing jobs and even more are coming because we just won the trade war. You’ve no idea what’s going on do you? All you listen to is the media, and the media is wrong.
Emmet B That’s something hitler would say.
Vacnol trump is hitlers son. just missin’ the ole stache.
Emmet B Yet you and the party you support sounds the most like Hitler. Even if he was his son, does that matter? Like is this North Korea now where your entire family and generations after are guilty for what you did? The devil was God’s son bud.
“And now, they’re coming, for your social security money.” – George Carlin
@Dave Salimeno USA was in a market crash. Obama reversed the depressed economy of BUSH and TRUMP is riding the wind of soaring economy from Barrack.
@Sask Sun seekers agree. Actually prices of goods in this president are higher due to tariff.
@Robert Scarlatti fox news propaganda and Constant barrage of fake news of pro Donald in pod cast and troll farms.
@FIDELITY, NO to DECEIT & HATE Oh my god, you’re delerious pal with hate. Obama did nothing. Couldn’t even get a GDP above 3 in 8 yrs. Obama was the worst president this country will ever see, ever. Here’s some 🦄🦄🦄 for your fantasy. Now run along and get some of those magic wands Obama has for sale.
@JRG2733 you mean we serfs
What may have moved him to say that yesterday?
Follow the money.
That’s what he’s here for.
That’s how you get lying orange puppet to sing and dance for you.
if he’s here for the money…why is he taking no salary?
He is taking in millions every month from billing the government to stay at his own rat and rodent infested minigolf resorts. If you believe him, there’s a bridge in Brooklyn he’s got for sale too.
@Tom McDermott 👄His salary is a pittance compared to what he has already spent golfing…in three years more than Obama did in eight years!!!
sounds like Trumps economy isn’t as great as he claims if he can’t afford to pay the bills
Clinton left office with a balanced budget. The $5 trillion national debt would have been paid off in 4-5 years, but Bush gave massive tax cuts to corporations and billionaires, and went to war with Iraq to the tune of $5 trillion. Obama had to clean up his mess, and did a fine job of it, despite a GOP congress. The King of Bankruptcy has followed Bush’s lead with tax cuts for the rich, a costly trade war, a bloated military budget, etc. etc. The national debt is $20 trillion and growing. Recession is coming and the next president will catch the heat.
Karen Brock 63 million voted for him and the economy is kicking butt
Trump 2020 😊
@Tim Countis in reality American DEBT has always been increasing not decreasing – balance budgets is a joke if you increase your debts hun. Another correction- there isn’t a recession coming there is a depression bigger than 1930’s and you can thank Trump for speeding that up – Trump is the king of bankruptcy and he is doing a great job bankrupting America. go back and do some research on 1930 depression, what’s coming will be far worse- multiply that by increased population. not looking pretty. 2008 was only a warning of what’s coming, obama did NOTHING to solve the problem just put America in more debt.
@J B hun economy is not kicking butt- your going bankrupt hun. Your first clue would be the increase in poverty and homelessness – a kicking butt economy doesn’t cause poverty and homelessness rather the opposite. You really should take a math course, with a little knowledge you won’t be so easily fooled by con man like Trump
@Karen Brock Reagan left office with a $2 trillion debt. Clinton left office with a $5 trillion dollar debt and a balanced budget. Apparently you don’t know what a balanced budget is. To keep it simple, it means you have as much money coming in as going out. The U.S. would have been debt free within four or five years if Bush had stayed the course. Obama was left holding the bag when the economy collapsed in 2008. He had to bail out the auto industry, the banking industry, create an $800 billion stimulus package that created 500,000 jobs by 2009, he had to absorb $5 trillion in war debt, and he had get the economy going before it collapsed into another Great Depression And that’s what he did. Get a clue, HUN.
Trump is unstable unfit and doesn’t really care for the elderly and disabled he can’t relate so his judgment will always be skewed about social programs .
Freak, we have a freak for a president, we’re in trouble people…
And that freak is getting more and more insane and unhinged by the day!
A
He will totally destroy America…he is halfway there now….
@Stephen f He is doing his best trying to!
@Stephen f it was all Putin’s master plan
I’m taking it seriously. We going to have a riot if he comes even close to cutting Medicare or Social Security. He is an evil Narcissist.
Contact Senate Republicans Let them know you want a fair and open trial. We want Witnesses and documents! 202 224-3121
……..” ETERNAL Vigilance Is The Price Of Liberty” …..

Pelosi may be fine. However…The People of Kentucky ‘Trusted’ Mitch McConnell (when he told them he was a ‘Moderate’). As a result we created a Self Serving, Self Enriching Currupt Member who Panders to the Wealthy for Campaign Contributions. A Senate Leader who “strangles” Legislation from the House (including Bills To ‘strengthen Election Security) and .will not permit a Vote. TRUMP is the results of decades of manipulation and schemes. MCCONNELL Is an Object Lesson. It is the People’s watchfulness and caution that is the basis of our Freedom and Social Constraints.
I M FOR THAT
I’ll hold you to that Renate I’ve been calling for mass protests since the day he was elected by the help of the Russians
Ever heard of a UBI? Vastly superior to Medicare and social security combined. Actually it’s better than all support programs.
This is so he, his Adminstration, Republican Repersentives can continue to over spend ( 9 Lawyers, tax payers money) for his, their life style. While people end up homeless,freeze to death in their own homes or on the street, die an early death due to lack of health care or food. Thats why the Republicans won’t sign bills the Democrats placed on the Republicans plans desk to help the citizens.
Republicans and President cut your pay.
Rafiki Got proof for this or did you rip it from a news article?
@Vacnol dont you know he spends 1 in each 5 days golfing on his own golf courses?
Sorry, it wasn’t 106 million, it was 110 million
He pays himself with government money, so he spends as much as he can

@Vacnol the Muller report arrested 6 Republicans, 4 of then for conspiracy against the USA and recovered 40 million dollars.
It gained money no matter if you lie about it
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/09/17/mueller-probe-could-turn-a-profit-thanks-to-manafort-assets.html
@Vacnol and the Mueller report was just one investigation started by REPUBLICANS during the final term of Obama, you just don’t like the truth
Yea. my uncle was a multi millionaire .He had Parkinson’s disease, and had the best coverage. Most things that weren’t paid for via health coverage were all paid out of pocket. He was spending at least $1-2k a week on health cost. Do you have $1-2k a week lying around? I know that I don’t. You had better have a TON of money in the bank or else you are screwed.
Old news. He told his friends at Mar-A-Largo two years ago and said if re-elected he would cut SS benefits to the bone. Simply put he will not want to go down as the President who had the highest deficit ever so he will balance it on the backs of the poor and elderly rather than the rich whom he likes to think of as he friends.
Cant trust a liar. He thinks he is above the law with his corrupt senate.
You benefit the wealthy disproportionately because in the end you know they are the only ones that can afford to stay at Trump hotels and play at his golf courses. Another reason why a person with so many unmanaged conflicts should not be POTUS!
It has been known all along that the Republicans planned to do this in the last 4 yrs if Trump is reelected. They couldn’t do it in the first 4 yrs and get reelected.
@Rebe Vera Well honestly he does appear to be above the law. I do believe he could shoot 10 people on live tv and nothing would be done to him. The Senate is totally corrupt! There should be a mistrial! I think all his crimes will come home to roost once he is out of power. God knows what he will pull until then though!
@Rebe Vera W
There is going to be a lot of Senior Citizens protesting in the streets if he goes after our social security check and Medicare.
ME FOR ONE
Don’t wait to see. Pressure your senators to kick him out now. Do this or vote him out in November. Even if he is beaten, we will have to see if he will leave or declare a dictatorship.
they won;t even be paying attention until they don;t see the damned ck in the mail. I can say that. I’m 70 and they annoy the b’jesus out of me!
You hear that people vote this monstrosity out on 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸 #voteblue2020
Don’t forget what he’s done for other social programs; who cuts food stamps and assistance right before the holidays? ,Trump. Who started a government shut down right before the holidays? Trump. Enough is enough, he is as egocentric as a three year old, but not nearly as cute.
Madeline Schaffer You should research the harm these programs do long term to our society, economy, and culture and do some research on the consequences of replacing them with a UBI.
@Vacnol I actually have, and yes I do understand that they can and have been detrimental to society, they have also given relief. Realistically, we can’t just end programs because they have been in place far to long, and benefits are seen to outweigh the negatives. Programs such as these will continue to until the huge disparity between the haves and have not is has been reduced. Sounds simple, but it’s not, and it’s just what it is today.
Madeline Schaffer Oh I more than agree with that. That’s why I don’t like the democrats, and why I hope trump understands this too. He’s done well so far but just up and removing these programs with no backup plan is a huge red mark against his presidency.
Trump may as well let Bolton testify, he’s writing a book. Whatever his “ thoughts” are, going to be revealed anyway. Vote him and his “biga brain “ 🧠 out! 🇺🇸
So what’s the problem? Judging by the grammar on comments by his base, they’ve never read in their entire life.
Make him take an oath instead. Then we’ll read the book.
Drives me nuts when republicans suddenly start talking about the deficit and first thing that needs to be cut is social security and medicare. Not defense spending, corporate tax breaks, or pols salaries and benefits but the programs that help the people.
@Ricky Spanish here’s more data for you, although you probably can’t understand it because your brain cells have melted by believing too many lies.
Here’s an article by a Finance professional who used an index showing living conditions to compare Blue and red states. Blue states are comparable to Netherlands, Red states living standards are comparable to Russia! How appropriate! Drumph wants to make America into a kleptocracy banana republic with a murderous dictator in charge, just like his hero Putin. I am all for a Bluexit before that happens, and let you cult members live like you deserve, with plenty of poverty and substance abuse but not much else.

@Ricky Spanish Are you a millionaie? Yea, thought so.
Get rid of the fraud in military government contracts that’s billionaires in itself.
Never interfere with an Enemy while He’s in the process of destroying himself
America First
true…no one escapes what’s coming…Q
Thumbs Up !
Trump: “I don’t want Bolton to reveal what I think about other leaders” Really? That’s what you’re worried about?
– Does this man even understand that this is an impeachment trial?
@Vacnol
Yeah, an impeachment trial everybody knows he’s going to win. He’s not worried about this, the senate republicans haven’t shown any indication of having a spine.
Rafiki There is no stonewalling if evidence, they should even need to go through the president to get evidence. For months I’ve heard Nadler say that there enough evidence for a jury to convict trump in three minutes flat… so where’d all that evidence go? They don’t even have a crime scene yet here you are presuming guilt, your actions are strikingly similar to dictators and that’s scary.
@Vacnol 1st Trump gave an interview inDavos yesterday saying that he is holding all the documents. So you saying he is not is by itself moronic
https://www.salon.com/2020/01/22/trump-brags-that-he-is-withholding-all-the-material-while-fighting-obstruction-of-congress-charge/amp
@Vacnol 2nd every jury in the world would convict this POS
The Republican are not a jury though, they are cohorts
The idea that a president can hide every document when he is investigated is the most tyrannical of all, you hypocrite
He’s already been impeached. ..The trial is for his removal from office
At every moral junction, he chooses the evil option. This guy cares so little about the society he runs.
CEO’s say “what are we gonna do about this deficit? Better cut Medicare. But oh, give us tax cuts, and go ahead and pump an extra $140b per year into the military.”
Please stop calling all of these programs “entitlement programs”.
I PAID into Social Security for fifty years and counting. The word “entitlement” suggests that i am getting something for nothing
Thank you for clarifying this for people to see. People need to understand this. I’ve been paying into social security for over 37 years!! Excellent analysis 👍
Entitled means it’s your
