Raw Story: ‘Treating him like a moron who can’t read’: Expert fed up with excuses for Trump

Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky is losing her patience with people trying to give President Donald Trump an “out” to blame others for what some view as bad policies in his “big, beautiful” budget legislation.

Speaking to MSNBC’s Chris Jansing on Monday, Roginsky said, “Why Republicans are killing healthcare for millions doesn’t really matter. What really matters is what they’re doing.”

“They’re cutting health care to about 12 million Americans in the next several years. They’re shutting down rural hospitals. They’re getting rid of the social safety net. They’re ballooning the deficit to the point that it will imperil Medicare, Social Security and so on,” she said. “They’re getting rid of food assistance. They’re getting rid of every single aspect of the safety net and the social net that Donald Trump promised to keep. And don’t forget, he promised that he would not touch Medicaid, and he promised he wouldn’t touch Medicare. And he’s touching both of those.”

Jansing asked if Roginsky thought Trump knows what’s going on, implying he’s being lied to about what’s in the bill.

“Why do we keep treating him like a moron who can’t read?” ranted Roginsky.

Raw Story: Trump ‘completely botched it’: GOP insider gives no-holds-barred take on president’s move

According to a former adviser to ex-House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), Donald Trump will end up paying the price for derailing a U.S. economy that was on the upswing when he took office.

Appearing on MSNBC with host Chris Jansing, GOP insider Brendan Buck hammered the president over his trade war and stated he will have to live with the consequences of the financial instability his tariffs have created.

With Jansing pointing to the new jobs report that shows unemployment stalled at 4.2 percent, she asked her guest, “I wonder if we’re going to see the president taking credit for this in the economy, right after claiming it’s actually Joe Biden’s economy?”

“Yeah, well, the White House already put out a paper declaring a jobs boom today,” the amused Buck replied before quipping, “So yeah, of course. When the GDP numbers go down it’s Joe Biden’s economy. When jobs numbers look good, it’s Trump’s economy.”

Turning serious, he continued, “Look, I think this shows two things. One, as we discussed, Donald Trump inherited an economy that was ready to take off; he didn’t have to do a whole lot to have a really solid economic legacy. But he’s completely botched it through this trade policy.”
