Napper-in-Chief Donald Trump just made it perfectly clear to every American who is worried about their finances or losing their health insurance in the coming months that he doesn’t give a diddly damn about their pain or struggles.
Oh, and there’s even video that proves his complete lack of concern for the millions across this country who fear they may not be able to pay their bills or even go see a doctor thanks to his idiotic economic policies.
Speaking with Dasha Burns of Politico, Trump was asked about the upcoming health insurance crisis if Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsides aren’t renewed for 2026.
“In the meantime, I mean, two weeks, Mr. President, people will see those premiums go up. So will you tell Congress to extend those Obamacare subsidies while you work out another deal?” Burns asked.
“I don’t know. I’m gonna have to see. I’d like to get better health care. I’d like to have people buy their own health care, get much better health care, and what I want to do, for example, I want to give the money to the people, not to the insurance companies,” he replied.
Burns interjected, “So right now, people are buying their holiday presents. They’re planning for —.”
Trump sneered as he hissed, “Look, don’t be dramatic. Don’t be dramatic.”
“They’re planning their budgets for next year, Mr. President,” Burns rightly noted.
“Here’s what I want to — I know. And what I want to do is help them,” Trump insisted, without actually answering the question.
Burns: “So will their premiums go up?”
“I’m giving them money,” Trump replied, completely avoiding the question.
The pathological liar then said, “I want to give the money to the people to buy their own health care. That’s a good thing, not a bad thing. The Democrats don’t want to do that. They want the insurance companies to continue to make a fortune. The Democrats are owned by the insurance companies. They want the insurance companies to get these trillions of dollars.”
“Trillions of dollars goes to the insurance companies,” he continued. “I want that money to go to the people and let the people go out and buy their own health care. It works like magic. But you know who doesn’t want it? The Democrats, because they’re corrupt people, because they’re totally owned and bought by the insurance companies.”
Burns told the so-called president, “That’s going to take time, sir.”
Trump: “Ready? I want to give the people better health insurance for less money. The people will get the money and they’re gonna buy the health insurance that they want.”
If Trump is truly sick and tired of insurance companies ripping off consumers, here’s how he can completely cut them out of the equation: National health insurance. Most of our allies — Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and most of Europe — have some form of national healthcare. Isn’t it about damn time we took a page from them and did the same?
As for Trump’s total disregard for the very people he was elected to represent, about all that can be said is f*ck him all the way to the North Pole and back again.
Here’s the video. The remarks on healthcare start at the 38-minute mark:
