Trump Learns What is in "His" Precious Bill Hours Before it Passed in the House

Donald Trump summoned his least loyal minions, sorry - GOP moderates - to the White House on Wednesday to threaten them one last time to vote for his dangerous “One Big Beautiful Bill.”
Instead, he learned from his little evil henchmen that the legislation destroys Medicaid, the very program he’d just warned them never to touch if Republicans “want to win elections.” Hard to believe he's just learning about this when everyone else has been yelling about it since this life ruining golem of a bill was introduced into congress.
Trump reportedly declared that Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security were off-limits, only for one member to pipe up: “But we’re touching Medicaid in this bill,” which would be funny it it wasn't going to kill people.
The Senate-passed version of this terrible bill gouges out a little over $1 trillion out of Medicaid—part of a $1.2 trillion package of safety-net cuts that could deprive roughly 11 million people of life-saving medical coverage.
The same 940-page monster pours $150 billion into the Pentagon, and funnels $350 billion toward Trump's brown shirts - sorry - "immigration enforcement", including money for 10,000 new SS - sorry - ICE officers.
Issues with Trump’s bill prompted a classic post-midnight Twitter meltdown from the president, who clearly needs a melatonin gummy or something.
When asked about the president’s apparent lapse in knowledge, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson lied through her teeth, soullessly saying the bill “takes decisive action to protect Medicaid for generations to come by eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse… President Trump is committed to protecting Medicaid for the vulnerable Americans who rely on it most.”
In the end, all but one of the potential GOP holdouts flipped like a teenage boy named Conner in front of the girl he likes, allowing the measure to advance in a narrow 219-213 vote, setting up the bill for further debate and a final showdown in the House later on Thursday.
Happy 4th of July.
