Opinion: Trump won the Mueller war. But Democrats still have a lot to focus on.
By Joe Scarborough Joe Scarborough Bio Follow March 25 at 5:55 PM The Mueller War is over, and President Trump won. No participation trophies will be handed out to vanquished Democrats, and any hopes of a 2020 cakewalk over the morally bankrupt president just became more distant. While Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s House majority should certainly push for the release of special counsel Robert S.
Throughout 2016, candidate Trump promised to give health-care coverage to all Americans. “There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can’t pay for it, you don’t get it,” Trump told The Post just before his inauguration. “That’s not going to happen with us.” Instead of cutting around the edges of these programs, Trump’s budgets have taken an ax to them. In his latest spending plan, the president proposed $845 billion in Medicare cuts over the next decade. He has also called for massive spending reductions to Medicaid. Seniors and working-class Americans would be the ones most affected.
In February, the Trump administration broke the record for the largest monthly deficit in U.S. history. That $234 billion shortfall exceeded all yearly deficits recorded in the first two centuries of this country’s existence. Given his shameless spending record, you will not be surprised to learn that Trump’s promise to pay off the federal debt also turned out to be a lie. The national debt — now $22 trillion — is higher than it’s ever been.
