""I said to [Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought], 'Don't send any money for daycare because the United States can't take care of daycare.' That has to be up to a state. We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We have 50 states. We have all these other people. We're fighting wars.""
""You got to let a state take care of daycare, and they should pay for it too. They should pay. They'll have to raise their taxes, but they should pay for it. And we could lower our taxes a little bit to them to make up.""
""It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things. They can do it on a state basis. You can't do it on a federal. We have to take care of one thing: military protection.""
President Trump stated that the federal government should not subsidize daycare, Medicaid, or Medicare, emphasizing a focus on military spending. He believes states should handle daycare funding and that they should raise taxes for it. Trump mentioned that the ongoing Iran War costs the U.S. $38 billion, with an additional $1 billion daily. He argued that universal pre-kindergarten would cost $40 billion, suggesting that military protection should be the primary concern of the federal government, dismissing other social services as manageable at the state level.
