Why, when Trump talks about all the $Billions we bring in from tariffs, does he not have money for Medicaid and other programs that plaque the poor?

[NoDecision]

Trump likes to brag about all the money that comes in yet he does nothing to help the American citizens. He bailed out Argentina to the tune of $40 Billion and is again going to give Zelensky more weapons. When are they going to do something for the American Taxpayers?

[ohsheeT]

Trump is a walking Billboard.
All he wants is headlines so he can say 1 day down the road. How I did this or I did that

No, you didn't do this or that you talked about it. That's all you did to get headlines

He is one of the greatest showmen on this planet
Smoke and mirrors

Like I said, he's had one now. Two opportunities to become the best president we've ever had and he's gonna fuck it up

It's all fake words. Not fake news is fake words fake person it goes to prove.
That the democrats and the republicans are the same people because they're ran by the same people

Trump proved exactly who he was when he did with the taxes for the rich
The people that run the planet are run. United States don't want middle class Americans. Who have money? They want to be able to control them if they give them money. It's going to make their job harder. They want the middle class to disappear. So the rich can be the rich and run everything and we become slaves to them. That's where it's headed. That's where it's been.


A few years back, everybody got a wage increase. Everybody started making money to have the American dream. But what happened , they took it all away from us , because they don't want us to have money , they can't control us that way

It's not about them anymore, it has to be about us we need to stand together, and we need to do something about it. F*** these guys, they're destroying. Not only america , but the whole planet

[Bricealan]

@ohsheeT Just more of your leftist ranting about something you know nothing about.

[ohsheeT]

Copy that

[NoDecision]

@Bricealan I happen to mostly agree with him.

[Bricealan]

Medicaid is not being cut for citizens. The problems is the Democrats want healthcare to be paid for for illegals.

[ohsheeT]

@ Bricealan no one said anything about Medicaid even tho you are right democrats.
Brought millions and millions of people. In and out they have to take care of them to get their vote knowing that it would destroy.
The country knowing that it would destroy the people that they brought in. Because there won't be enough 1 day knowing that it would destroy us, so the rich can get richer and everybody else can go get f***** That's what it's all about.
And that's wrong, and if we do not do something about it nobody is. Our country has gone down so far. We think we're b*****We're f****** nothing but loud mouth p****** and we are allowing politicians that we elect destroy us that's embarrassing

[NYCQuestions1976]

No one is impeding the funding for Medicaid for citizens of the United States and LEGAL immigrants of the United States. Eliminating funding fraud to illegal immigrants does help citizen taxpayers and legal immigrant taxpayers of the United States.

The United States is getting more preferred access to Argentina's natural resources. Also, sending money to Argentina (ally and trade partner) is far better than sending money to Iran (terrorist regime and sponsor).

We're not "giving" weapons to Ukraine. We're "selling" weapons to Ukraine (via NATO and the EU). Big difference.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Thanks for Most Helpful. 👍

[Amy10223]

What billions is he talking about? The way tariffs work, is WE end up paying for higher prices at the stores and supermarkets. The countries don't pay for those tariffs--we do. Prices of food are going up, not down. Costs for any appliance, cars, homes, are going up. He DOES have the money for those programs--but instead of it going to the poor, the disabled, the uninsured, the folks who must depend on the government in order to survive, it is going into his own pockets, as well as the pockets of all his billionaire buddies who will get huge tax cuts--the top 1% of the nation-- when they do this. They are literally stealing from the poor, and giving it to the rich.

[Spencer10]

Just to be clear... Americans pay the Tariffs ultimately. Trust me no Canadian Steel manufacturer is paying a cent to Donald Trump and the US treasury. Its a tax on imports. So the question should be why is Trump and the GOP not using the tax money collected to fund your health care. Oh but 20 billion is going to Argentina...

[NoDecision]

My question too.

[Bricealan]

@Spencer10 Healthcare to illegal aliens is the only healthcare being withheld.

[WindAtMyBack]

Because it takes both revenue and cost reduction to get the budget under control.

Why do liberals love taxes so much, but then complain about them? Tariffs are just another tax. You want all those programs, but don't want to pay for them?

Oh wait. You want someone else to pay the taxes, but not yourself. Got it.

[NoDecision]

Yes, Billionaires would be nice if they paid their fair share.

[AviatorTom]

@nodecision Please check the public statistics. 10% of the wealthy pay 60% of the total income tax that the IRS collects each year. How is that not paying their fair share?

[NoDecision]

@AviatorTom And they also have over 89% of the wealth than all of those below them. I doubt if Musk is paying even 1%.

[AviatorTom]

@nodecision What is wrong with becoming wealthy, especially when one considers that the average billionaire gives 5% of their wealth to charity each year? That's 5 million dollars per billionaire. There are 902 billionaires in the US in 2025, which means billionaires give, each year, 4.6 trillion dollars to charity. Is that bad?

[NoDecision]

@AviatorTom If charities were getting that much money they would not be inundating my mailbox with "send us money!" pleas. Especially when I see a CEO making 4 million dollars a year.

[Bricealan]

@nodecision Of course they are, the Charities in this country are as greedy as anyone else.

[WindAtMyBack]

@nodecision

And how much is a fair share? They already pay a hell of a lot of taxes. You do realize that billionaires don't have billions of dollars, right? They only have a small fraction of that. Bottom line is that if you took everything they had, it would still not be nearly enough to pay for all the stuff the government does. For that matter, there is not enough money in existence to pay for it all.

But WAAAAAY too many people want a free ride. They want someone else to pay for everything but don't want to pay the tiny share they are expected to pay. People like that are nothing but leaches.

"And they also have over 89% of the wealth"

But that is NOT money. That is what everyone seems to forget, or never understood in the first place. They CAN'T pay that as taxes because it's not money. You are comparing apples to oranges. You are comparing money to net worth which are VERY different things. Taxes can only be paid with money.

[Joshydavid25]

Medicaid a mother social programs have been abused since they were implemented.. The best way to help the poor is to get the government from being their sugar daddy and incentivize them to actually work.. Government dependence is the worst.. The best thing Trump can do is to start to eliminate taxes altogether..

[Syntosi]

Because all that money was already allocated to tax cuts for the rich. All this budget cutting and tariffs nonsense has basically just been to try retroactively fill the crater in the budget that Trump left after giving the rich a tax cut.

[Bricealan]

@Syntosi Just WHO are all of the 902 billionaires that are getting all of the 'tax cut you talk about?

[Syntosi]

@Bricealan I mean, you can probably find most of them employed inside Trumps administration.

[nawtee_me]

Medicaid was never meant to be a permanent solution to the problem. It was set up to be temporary while they look for work and start to support themselves again. But people want it to be free money for life and there isn’t enough money for that.

[NoDecision]

Sure there is, Trump brags about the Billions , or as he said, maybe a trillion. If he didn't give tax breaks to all his Billionaire cronies, we would have enough to go around.

[Friendlybro79]

He hasn't promised weapons to Ukraine but the money he brings in is to steal from the avg to poor American and give to his rich donors. He's a dolt.

[Dargil]

Yet another twisted Democrat narrative. It is not even worth parsing and debating. Continue to support the DNC morons so Republicans can win more elections.

[Effably]

USA has not earned any money on the tariffs.

When we talk earning money we can't skop what it cost to do so.

The tariff breakdown right now is
Cost

[exitseven]

Read his lips. No Medicaid for illegal aliens.

[Bricealan]

@exitseven 😉

[loveslongnails]

News flash: He's full of shit, as usual. NO MONEY brought in from tariffs is going to help ANYONE who needs it, no matter what the F he says. When are you all going to realize this? He lies, ALL the time. Always.

[NakedsunNfun]

We have and are paying BILLIONS for medicaid already. Where are you getting your facts?

[Ariesman81]

The poor aren't paying taxes. The majority are a net negative to the budget. Nothing wrong with incentivizing those who bring value.

[Ariesman81]

And as far as I've heard, the money given to Argentina is an attempt to sell the U. S. soybeans to Russia. Not a fan of the deal, but perhaps the Dept. of Ag knows something I don't.

[Ariesman81]

China, not Russia

[DrPepper12]

Lol. Who dis? New DOGE violated NSA spy device...

[Wiredone]

Thats because he's spending it on stupid stuff like ripping out the rose garden and putting in a patio. He is also spending a ton of money redoing the ballroom

[Bricealan]

@Wiredone Don't you read? Trump is paying for the Rose Garden out of his own pocket, not government money !!!

[Wiredone]

@Bricealan that's what they say. I don't believe it. he's lied before, he'll do it again

[RedInnocent69]

Because he’s a bullshitter. Even if he’s sitting on billions in tariffs, Republicans have no interest in public programs, not seniors, not veterans, not Medicare

[MJF1969]

He can’t without Congress voting on it. The Demorats will never vote for it. If we get the seats he’s already said he will raise it. Until it gets fixed raising pay will just make it run out of money sooner

[Bklynbadboy12]

Cause he's not bringing in anything tariffs make us lose money. That's why everything is super expensive. The proof is in the pudding its all smoke and mirrors

[Twalli]

Wait, people actually thought he cares about them if they have under $1 million in discretionary funds?

[hafinjun]

An excellent question. Possibly because he's to busy building ball rooms?

[seeyounexttuesday]

Look how many illegals are being kicked out of the us. That’s a savings for all f us.

[Pterodon]

Because there’s already money for Medicare. Nothing is broke

[beefcakebradybatson]

GREAT description of Trump, but no, not here in Windsor.

[Sal_Monella]

Who says we don't?

[Staximus]

Politicians are going to politician

[austinbooth]

He has money. What are you talking about?

[Rightonein]

He's selfish
