This is a wild take. He just thinks his policies will be so popular that even urban areas might go red in the mid-terms. It's delusional, but I can't see Democrats gaining much ground unless they stop flopping around on the ground like fish.
Even if Trump did say something like this, it wouldn't have any practical effect. States have their own constitutions.
Thanks for posting this, since it also didn't get much attention in the media.
Even though these actions are almost certainly illegal, I'm at least somewhat relieved that Trump is (mostly?) following injunctions and not brazenly defying the judicial branch. Defying the Supreme Court would be crossing the Rubicon, IMO.
It's interesting that Musk is sending this, probably personally and likely without getting specific approval from Trump before sending it, and the agencies are responding to ignore it in what is clearly a direct response to Musk.
Musk acts. Many cabinet departments act in response. Meanwhile, Trump is a passive non-participant in his own administration.
(To say nothing of Congress thus far.)
I don't even disagree with his answer, but what actually counts is your voting record, you smug motherfucker
I strongly doubt most people are aware of anything about this
Yes, but also all of these local movements organize on Facebook 🙄
He's on Medicare, not Medicaid, but I agree. Trump doesn't need their votes anymore, and Musk never did.
He watches a lot of Fox News, so he thinks he's informed, but he's really just full of propaganda. At least at this point he knows better than to debate politics with me, so it's pretty civil when I visit or call. But also on the rare occasion he decides to press a matter, he knows he can never win. I will bring receipts.
I mean, there's a reason baby boomers were labeled the Me Generation in the 1980s, when they were in their 20s-40s.
But before they became so reviled we fought wars to kill as many of them as we could.

On schedule?
My father is the quintessential baby boomer: he's retired and lives off of a federal pension and Social Security, and he's a three-time Trump voter. When I said in a recent call that I wondered if they would go after his pension or Social Security, his response was basically that his income is safe because he's already collecting on it.
He didn't have to say that he didn't care about anyone else: it was implied. I doubt he cares if anyone younger (including me) can ever can draw on the system we're paying into, because he got his.
What kind of person follows Bezos on social media? I wouldn't exactly bet on their good taste and judgment...
This is a pretty deliberate falsification of what this idiot is saying using out-of-context quotes. He's saying that by cutting fraud they'll be able to raise $1 trillion. He said specifically that they wouldn't touch Social Security except for fraud.
Of course the claim that there's $1 trillion of fraud is false, but we don't need to promote misleading clickbait headlines like this when there's so much awful news coming out of this administration as it is.
