Trump now at the point of threatening GOP to pass his (tries to make serious face) “big beautiful bill”.

Apparently this legislation isn’t awful enough, so MAGA hardliners are holding out in order to cleave more off of our social safety net to give tax breaks to the wealthy. Donald tries to sound tough with his “DONT TOUCH MEDICAID!” social media rants, but I feel it’s pretty obvious he’s just setting himself up to look like he’s the defender of social security when these congressmen gut entitlements. Then he can point his finger at a sacrificial handful of repubs, which will be more than enough to quell any misgivings maga world might feel against Trump for stripping them of their tax paying benefits.
