Donald Trump warned Tuesday that if the Democrats don’t approve funding, there are dangers to the future of Social Security and Medicare.

Trump said at a press conference that when he asked Democrats for feedback on the funding bills, one said, “It means death.”

“There’s nothing about death,” Trump said. “Theirs is death because they’re going to lose Medicaid, they’re going to lose Social Security, they’re going to lose Medicare, all of those things are going to be gone because the whole country would be bankrupt, and you’re not going to have any kind of medical insurance.”

      Trying to right now. It’s harder to claim asylum or flee than it might seem. It’s expensive and not guaranteed to even work. I’ve been in contact with underground railroad groups for that express purpose. Just wish it wasn’t so hard to do especially given both my spouse and I are trans and disabled.
