Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up? TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

Democrats under Obama created ACA. The Premium reductions that are ending were passed by Democrats under Biden. You should be seeing over and over and over the differences. But sure, both sides bad, Democrats do nothing good or whatever. Sweet Zing you got in.

Inappropriate ballroom when they cant manage to figure out a health care program for the Public like every other major country. We need an overhaul in govt with actual Pols that work for the benefit of the bPublic, not themselves. Tired of the lies nd the insults to the public.

He doesn’t know lmao which makes it even funnier. He just hears people on the left describe his minions as sycophants and he wants to repeat it because he is just learning what certain words mean. He has the vocabulary of a 3yr old

The level of stupidity in his "press" events is frightful, and yet he is still president. I can't help but wonder why the population is just sitting by and watching this unfold as if it were a mere reality TV show. They have numbed you all into submission

#KingCorruption Trump sure looks tired. Kind of like he has discovered all the hot air in his balloon is failing and he can see the ground coming to meet him. His time is way past. Onward and upward for America. Go give Epstein a big wet kiss. #NoKings

“Don’t make it sound so bad.” Q: When the expanded ACA subsidies expire at the end of the year, 24 million Americans will enjoy the opportunity to pay higher health insurance premiums. What’s your message to them as they embark on this exciting new phase of personal responsibility?

MAGA default setting. If you have no credible answer to a legitimate question, attack the journalist. Maybe Donald, it doesn't just sound bad, it IS bad for people who will die from lack of medical care, or they will go bankrupt. You should be able to relate to that last bit at least.

Think that this is normal behavior in the us government now. It's just sad that soo many ppl voted for such a bad human being just to get cheaper eggs.

Yeah, short sighted imho. I would not vote for a bully regardless of what politics said bully stand for. But that's just me.

Tie every Republican to Trump. Every Republican who doesn’t completely repudiate him should be tied to EVERY SINGLE ONE of his actions, his corruption, his destruction of health care, his ripping apart of families and terrorizing our communities, to bullying our scientists. ALL OF IT.

Just came in the mail. *It's time to renew your healthcare. Congress has not taken action to extend the enhanced premium tax credit*... Sounds like a big FU to everyday Americans that depend on healthcare.

I get it. Numbers aren't compelling to the empathic and compassionate. But here's the thing: Yall aren't who I'm trying to hit with 24m being 7% Sadly there's 40-47% of America that needs to be reminded that it could be them in order for them to care. A solid third of us are proper evil. Sucks.

The unshakeable 31% base who thinks TRUMP IS HANDLING THE ECONOMY WELL are beyond help, but are almost entirely NEUTRAL EVIL per D&D descriptions: Motivated purely out of self interest. They will do whatever they can get away with to gain power, wealth, and/or personal gratification.

The D&D definition is kind since it leaves out no gain but other people suffering. The truth is that Cult 45 is a combination of neutral evil (the selfish bits) and chaotic evil (the destroying / suffering bits, but only where whites aren't affected). Even D&D couldn't imagine their evil.

Q: What's your message to those 24 million Americans who's premiums will go up? TRUMP: He has NO message for them, which is "tough shit, don't care" by omission. He doesn't care even a tiny little bit. He has his, and everyone else can eat cake.

Yup LMAO… and whenever he repeats a word twice or three times in a sentence that’s him trying to remember how to pronounce it while forcing his feeble brain to memorize it… it’s hilarious to watch how incompetent and moronic he truly is

“Don’t make it sound so bad”? It’s no real journalist’s job to polish Trump’s turds. Trump is delusional and/or dishonest and would prefer that all broadcasts about his incompetence be just as delusional/dishonest.

I mean this is basically how all authoritarians think the media affects public opinion so probably. The whole belief system is founded on the idea that everyone else is stupid and easily lead, don’t give the peasants ideas and they won’t have them. That’s why they think censorship actually works.

So the message is “I’d rather you didn’t let these people know we are deliberately raising their healthcare costs because it makes us look bad.” Loud and clear, Mr. President.

Debt, bankruptcy, illness, death. People that can't wait a day for these idiots to fig this out. Emergencies, accidents, meds that control diabetes seizures high blood pressure, cancer, rejection, and can't be missed a day. Don't make it sound "bad" 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

When he hears the real dollars for food, utilities, insurance people pay, it’s so insignificant to him. This ass can’t fathom $20, $100 or even a $1000 being a lot of money to people. Complete lack of empathy

Notice the female body next to him? WTH??? I have never seen a POTUS strategically place a female body next to him as a distraction from his meandering, non-sensical answer to an important question. That he doesn't answer after all those words.

I don’t know why his voters can’t see that when he attacks the press he attacks the US people. Whether you agree with the questioning, the press represent the public’s concerns and interests and act as one of the main line of defenses against corruption. Without the press, we aren’t free.

Hey, you fucking rotting asshole squatting in the White House. You and your bitches are going to "feel the pain" and it will be bad starting January 1, 2026.

"Don't make it sound so bad." There are 1000 followups to this one. It belongs in a thousand clips of Americans struggling to figure out how to manage without the subsidies that made their insurance work. "I couldn't afford to see a doctor when I had pneumonia." "Don't make it sound so bad."

We can't ever let this bullying be normalized. Because fascists always take it as far as it can go. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I sometimes wish someone would start posting Republican responses to him saying stuff like that instead of always just Democrat thought. How can we know the true feelings of all citizens, if both the media & population remain biased?

So, as I rewatch The West Wing, I'm struck by what I feel government could be. I know it's fiction but its grounded fiction. They screwed up, they fought, they disagreed, they confrontered, they're compassionate, they're accountable.

Yeah don't make it sound so bad if you lose your health insurance or the cost goes through the roof! Donald Trump is too busy building his $300 French whorehouse ballroom to be concerned with things like your health insurance! Never has a president been so out of touch with suffering people!
