I can't help but notice how you completely ommitted the 1.3 trillion dollars cuts for the rich 1% and an increase in takes for everyone who makes 50k or under. Not to mention, Trump had promises Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security would receive no cuts, Yet Medicaid is for sure getting cut for almost half its worth,(you know the program that is used by disabled people and those in need) and SNAP benefits will also be cut. Over in the Senate, there is growing opposition to major Medicaid cuts. Senator Josh Hawley (R, Missouri), representing a state where more than 21% of residents rely on Medicaid, said he did not support massive cuts to the program. He also endorsed a Democratic amendment alongside Sen Susan Collins (R, Maine) that would prevent tax cuts for the wealthy if any Medicaid funding were cut from the Senate budget resolution that is also being formed. However, the amendment was shut down by the rest of the party. Medicaid is a health insurance program that helps people with limited income and resources pay for medical care. It covers a variety of services, including hospital stays, doctor visits, lab tests, and home health.

What Medicaid covers inpatient and outpatient hospital services, physician services, laboratory and x-ray services, home health services, and emergency room services.

What Medicaid doesn't cover Private rooms, Private-duty nursing while in the hospital, Emergency room services for routine treatment, and Non-prescription drugs and health supplements. This is what you are for. You distracted by saying now that it won't affect much of Medicare if at all. But the whole deal started when the president himself said it would not affect any medicare or medicaid at all. So forgive me if more lies that will probably be broken as half of medicaid is cut does not offer me any solace.

Well yes, of course it is a theory. It is an instance of you once again hoping the Trump administration has our best interests at heart. Even if it defies all logics and facts we have found thus far. At this point is when I like to draw the parallels from MAGA supporters to a cultish religion. Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to offend you in any way. I was part of said cult for over 8 years, so I understand. What you have to realize is that maybe the idea you have of what Trump and his organization are may not necessarily align with who they actually are in reality. Basically, they were really good at PR and building an image for themselves. An image they wanted us all to strongly believe even when confronted with facts that say otherwise. That's why in my original post I addressed how there are two different versions of Trump. The left leaning shady politician that will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, and the right leaning hero of the people who took on a life of his own as a meme. These disctinctions must be made in order for people to realize the truth. Which is why I do not say "I feel this or I feel that". I do not speak on feelings or what I think of him and his administration personally. I speak on what I have factually observed throught the years. I speak on policies and laws that he is passing, I speak on his executive orders. The way he treats others and the things he says then happen to not be true, which is a big majority. You have to learn to judge people based on their actions and not what they say. I always had a lot of issues with the Biden administration and lefties in general, but there was one thing that always bothered me about them. True ultimate evil is very smart, they are not openly evil. They pretend to be good. They quote bible scripture for their own means, twist it to fit their agenda. They sound like good people who care about you. True evil is not like the evil you find in a Disney movie openly telling you their plans and how you will never be able to stop them. They are silent and deadly, they work in the shadows, they claim to be your friend and claim they have your best interests at heart. I have always known this. Which is why something felt extremely off when the left decided to start acting like a Disney villain, hurting children and being openly racist against white people. Something just didn't feel right. It felt staged, as if it was all manufactured to make the other side look better. To stirr us on that direction. To give us no choice but to vote for Trump. That is when it hit me that we all had been played like a fiddle. Does this make any sense to you at all? Look deep within you and tell me, have you truly never had any doubts about the Trump organization? Have they truly never let you down in any way? Have you ever thought something doesn't feel quite right but then brushed it aside as just you overthinking?
