I will pretend I am a reporter.

Me- President Trump, I would like to ask you a question. During your run for president you promised there would be no cuts in Medicaid:

I was the first & only potential GOP candidate to state there will be no cuts to Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid. Huckabee copied me.


Now you are supporting a plan that will end up cutting Medicaid. How do you reconcile your previous statement with your support for the Ryan health plan that cuts Medicaid?

unless it effects their pocketbook. No matter what they fail to see that no matter the cuts in whatever department it will effect his base too.

If he cuts any of these things Repubs will have to take up the slack for their family members one way or the other.

Pretending to be a reporter was code for "being a male prostitute"

So be careful out there, especially considering the Cheeto's record of (ahem) stiffing those he hires.
