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.”

    The fact that even a million people voted for this guy is a testament to the rampant stupidity of the US. People in the US forget that even your “left” is a pretty pathetic showing to the point that they forget precisely how embarrassing it should be that even a handful of people voted for such an obvious goon. Trump ran on a platform befitting a crazed independent who might get a dozen votes and was TWICE voted in by the millions.

    The US DID vote for this because no amount of trickery aside from actually just taking the country by force should ever allow for an even moderately intelligent country to see such insanity given so much power. These people shouldn’t even be able to be placed on the political spectrum to be taken with any amount of seriousness and yet.

    I hate the US, but even moreso I hate all the people spending all this energy try to deflect blame. It’s got “not all men” energy and it’s fucking disgusting.
