Trump's Blunt Message on Medicaid Shakes Up House Republicans

President Donald Trump's stern warning to House Republicans regarding Medicaid cuts dominated a closed-door meeting on Tuesday. A source close to the situation, speaking to CNBC, revealed the President's forceful message: “Don’t f--- around with Medicaid.” The meeting, which lasted nearly an hour, focused on the passage of a major tax bill. Trump's main objective was to unite Republicans and ensure the bill's success. However, his approach wasn't without controversy. He directly challenged fiscal hawks within the party who sought deeper Medicaid cuts, stating his intention to focus on eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse instead. One Republican lawmaker, who chose to remain anonymous, commented, "The President's language was certainly strong, but his message about unity resonated." The video highlights the intense political maneuvering surrounding the bill and the President's direct influence on the legislative process. The coming days will be crucial to see if Trump's efforts to unify the Republicans behind the bill will prove successful.
