Why'd You Back Out Of the Meeting, Bro?' Trump Accused By Jeffries of Playing Chicken in Budget Standoff
"Let me be clear to the American people, Donald Trump and Republicans are lying. Federal law currently prohibits. Health care funds being used for undocumented immigrants period full stop and no one. Is asking for that law to be repealed. This shows you how desperate they are. If Donald Trump really believed That he had a strong position here, then why did you back out of the meeting, bro?"
"Why? I don't understand. Let's have this debate in front of the American people; and on our side of the debate, we're very clear. You promised, Donald Trump promised to love and cherish Medicaid. He said that in January of this year. And then they turned around these extreme MAGA Republicans and what did they do? They enacted the largest cut to Medicaid in American history. That's what the American people are facing right now."
President Donald Trump canceled a scheduled meeting with Democratic leaders about the GOP spending bill amid warnings of a potential government shutdown. Trump accused Democrats of making unserious demands, including an alleged request to repeal federal limits on health care funds for undocumented immigrants. Hakeem Jeffries accused Trump and Republicans of lying and questioned why the president backed out if he held a strong position. Federal law prohibits use of federal health care funds for undocumented immigrants, and Republicans enacted a significant Medicaid cut described as the largest in American history, which Democrats aim to address.
