WE OPPOSE TRUMP'S PLANS TO CUT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID

 TO PAY FOR HIS WARS


At a White House Easter lunch on April 1, 2026, Donald Trump  argued the United States cannot afford daycare, Medicare, and Medicaid while fighting his wars.


He stated:

"It's not possible for us to take care of daycare. Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things.

"We have to take care of one thing, military protection, we have to guard the country.”

It is important to note that this statement will lead to significant American civilian deaths at home.  It is also a total violation of his 2024 campaign promises
