Trump says he 'hates' Democrats at Independence Day event

Trump, speaking at an event organized by a nonpartisan group meant to celebrate America's independence, said he "hates" Democrats for opposing legislation to fund much of his domestic agenda.

Every Democrat in Congress voted against the "Big, Beautiful Bill," many fiercely criticizing the expected cuts it would bring to Medicaid.

"They wouldn’t vote only because they hate Trump, but I hate them, too, you know?" Trump said. "I really do. I hate them. I cannot stand them, because I really believe they hate our country."

Trump said he hopes to weaponize Democratic opposition to the bill in next year’s midterm elections. "With all of the things we did with the tax cuts and rebuilding our military, not one Democrat voted for us, and I think we use it in the campaign that’s coming up the midterms, because we got to beat them," he said.

Of course, the reason we oppose him is because we love our country, and his policies are destroying it.

The vast majority of seniors already pay no tax on their Social Security. But now those seniors will be facing Medicaid cuts that could get them kicked out of their nursing homes. That Big Ugly Bill is all pain, no gain for seniors.

America, you better make room on the couch for grandma!

What good is hate if your enemy doesn't recognize that you hate him? It's a two way street. We already know from his policies that he hates not just Dems, but everyone.

He enjoys the strife. And now, we can see that he is already looking at the Midterms, acknowleging that we can get an edge on him if we win. That is what we need to do to begin to block this Orange Turd.

Hate? I, for one, utterly despise this pr*ck and any enabler associated with him.

We hate your stupidity, your narcissism, your pettiness, your vindictiveness, your childishness, your immaturity, your immorality, your nastiness, your bullying, your manipulation, and your insatiable ego.

We can't wait until you die.
