I just took the train from DC to NY with Martin Schulz, the President of the European Parliament. His aide proudly talked about him as the “Nancy Pelosi of Europe.”

Weird. Been almost 3 years since I’ve heard a favorable comparison to US leadership. America’s on its way back.
His name was Antonio Tajani. I just looked at his card and had the wrong one.
At least I didn’t call him by his wrong name.

I called him Nancy.

❌$845 Billion Medicare
❌$220 Billion SNAP (food for poor kids)
❌$25 Billion Soc Security
❌$84 Billion Disabilty programs!
❌ CDC & NIH decimated

But...
How does Trump manage to cut all of this AND DISCRETIONARY SPENDING (31 % EPA, Science Foundation, student loans by $200 Billion) by 11% and still blow up the deficit further?

With the extension of tax cuts. 70% of which go to the top 1/5 of earners.
Here is a great thread to follow even more details.

It is true it will never pass, but only because you voted in November.

NEW: Trump is taking steps to try to sell insurance “across state lines.”

RFI: s3.amazonaws.com/public-inspect…

Here’s the hidden agenda: back door pre-existing condition repeal.

How?: ... Follow if interested. 1/
Any state allows for a Trumpcare plan— plans which Trump approved that allow insurers to charge as much as they want and cover what they want and who they want.

Your state prohibits them. But because they can be sold “across state lines”, it doesn’t matter. 2/
As soon as that happens, plans that cover pre-existing conditions have to charge more as some healthier people choose the non-compliant plans.

Many of those healthier people, of course, don’t remain healthy forever and aren’t covered for what they think they are. 3/

-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it

President and Mrs. Trump are dining at the Trump Hotel DC right now.
It’s a 7:41 drive from the White House to the Trump Hotel DC (with a motorcade; slower for you).
