President Donald Trump warned Tuesday that if the Democrats don't approve funding, there are dangers to the future of Social Security and Medicare.

Trump said at a press conference that when he asked Democrats for feedback on the funding bills, one said, "It means death."

"There's nothing about death," Trump said. "Theirs is death because they're going to lose Medicaid, they're going to lose Social Security, they're going to lose Medicare, all of those things are going to be gone because the whole country would be bankrupt, and you're not going to have any kind of medical insurance."

Snip...

Trump warned at the press conference that if an agreement is not reached with the Democrats, programs like Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare will be in danger. There are currently no changes to Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid as the government shutdown, which just reached its third week, continues.

We know he lies with impunity. But his OMB man controls the purse strings and Trump’s his wingman at MAL. IOW, they are thick as thieves.

6. This evil basta*d should be taken out back of the woodshed and shot,

as my Dad used to say about the worst of the worst. Most of us elders live on SS checks that don't even come close to covering trump's huge increase in prices on goods and services. And how in the hell can he stand there and say this with a straight face and two seconds later brag about all the tariff money coming in. WHERE is that money and how is it being distributed and by whom? I want incontrovertible proof that he's not just pocketing the tariff money into some offshore bank account of his someplace. And if he comes close to bankrupting the country (which is impossible, according to the constitution) then I say claw back every bit of excess riches from trump, his cabinet, his department heads, and every sickeningly rich person in the country in order to keep from going bankrupt.

And this is one issue with "hiring" someone to be president who's filed bankruptcy of his own businesses 7 times. It doesn't mean the same thing to them, as it does to us "common people." They're more prone to using it as a first resort rather than a last resort, IMO.
