In a Town Hall at Scranton PA Trump said in his second term he is going to cut entitlements

and replace Obama-care with "Something Great" and grow the economy like never before. Haven't we heard that before?
I would bet he is telling the truth about cuts in entitlements. Here is a link if you can stand to listen to it I can't.

I switched to MSNBC at 9:00 A.M.

It is now 9:21 and I haven't heard it mentioned.

They should be hammering away at this.

Trump was the only republican that ran on NO CUTS.

they are to damn dense to understand. They equate entitlements with welfare and food stamps not their SS and Medicare and of
course Obamacare "bad". He could do away with Obamacare and bring back the exact same thing and call it Trumpcare and it would be the best thing since sliced bread.

I've come to a conclusion, that white conservatives would vote for Hitler...as long as it meant that a white conservative man, would remain in charge!!!

then nothing will convince you.

Worsening poverty for a large segment of the population, proposed by any president, and Trump in particular, should be enough to send him to the guillotine. Well, okay, a "figurative" guillotine. Sending Trump to a real guillotine would be too much of an expression of real justice, especially if the event were televised live, nationwide. Damn.

Please, Let’s let “trump be trump” and let him talk more about entitlement cuts. He obviously doesn’t know that’s the “third rail” of No-No’s.
