While we get upset about Trump's words, they're going after Medicaid and Social Security

...and putting the fix in on the 2020 Census.

Trump isn't the "useful idiot." Republican voters are.

Trump is the magician's left hand and you reacting to the latest Twitter feud or Fox News interview of his are the glitter the magician throws to distract us from what the right hand is doing.

Not SS or medicare cuts where the current population of Republican voters will be grandfathered in or so far out they simply salivate over the cuts. Implementing these cuts would be no more than a line on the campaign trail. A solid line, but a line none-the-less. The rest is building up on an already negative narrative.

SS and medicare cuts don't play to a lot of people. They go through life thinking it will all work out in the end.
