Trump Doesn’t Know What the F*ck Is in His Big Ugly Bill

He says you can’t cut Medicaid and win elections… except his bill slashes over $1 trillion from it.

President Donald Trump is once again selling a bill he has not read. Though, we really shouldn’t be surprised. I mean, the guy can’t even read “anonymous” off a teleprompter.

He made it sound like a Mediterranean appetizer. So no, it’s not shocking that he didn’t realize what’s in his “big, beautiful” signature legislation.

According to reporting from NOTUS, Trump told Republicans in a closed-door meeting this week that there are three programs they should never touch if they want to win elections: Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security.

That might’ve landed if his own bill didn’t cut Medicaid by more than $1 trillion.

One of the Republicans in the room reportedly interrupted him and said, “But we’re touching Medicaid in this bill.”

The Math Ain’t Mathin’

This isn’t just a gaffe. It’s a perfect snapshot of the chaos behind Trump’s legislative strategy.

The so-called “big, beautiful bill” he’s been aggressively pushing:

• Cuts over $1 trillion from Medicaid

• Slashes food assistance programs

• Eliminates green energy tax credits

• Extends tax breaks for billionaires and corporations

• Boosts Trump’s Gestapo-style immigration enforcement funding

• And adds more than $5 trillion to the national deficit

Back in February, Trump promised not to cut Medicaid. Then he endorsed a House budget proposal that…did exactly that.

Now that Trump’s bill is back in the House, those cuts haven’t just remained, they’ve expanded.

It’s like he thinks saying “I’ll protect Medicaid” out loud makes it true, no matter what’s actually in the bill. That, or he’s winging it again. Honestly, both sound possible.

The “Big Beautiful” Scam

This week’s meeting was supposed to be a rallying session with moderate Republicans and the Main Street Caucus. According to NOTUS reporters Riley Rogerson and Reese Gorman, Trump “touted the wins” of the legislation during the meeting.

But those wins depend entirely on who you are. If you’re rich? It’s Christmas in July. And if you’re poor, disabled, or rely on Medicaid? You just got blindsided.

And yet, Trump still told lawmakers that cutting Medicaid would be political suicide. That logic only makes sense if you’ve forgotten or don’t know what’s in your own bill.

GOP Gaslights on Cue

Once the NOTUS report dropped, the White House rushed to spin the contradiction.

Spokesperson Abigail Jackson claimed the bill “takes decisive action to protect Medicaid for generations to come by eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse.”

Ah yes, the old “we’re not cutting it, we’re saving it by cutting it” defense. But numbers don’t lie. Slashing over $1 trillion from Medicaid isn’t “protecting” it. It’s gutting it.

That’s like if your landlord quadrupled your rent and called it a housing stability plan. You're not going to thank them for “preserving” your lease, you’re going to pack your bags.

MAGA Logic Breakdown

Trump’s governing style is simple: promise everything, accomplish nothing, and leave the mess for someone else.

It’s worked before. But this time, even Republicans had to stop him mid-meeting and point out that his bill contradicts everything he just said.

The truth? He either forgot or just doesn’t care. Toss out buzzwords like “protect” and “tremendous,” and hope no one reads the fine print.

But this isn’t just political theater. These are life-or-death programs for millions of Americans and Trump’s bill slashes them anyway.

The Real Agenda

Let’s not pretend this was an accident. The bill does exactly what it was designed to do: Take from the poor. Give to the rich.

It’s Robin Hood in reverse. Trump cosplaying as a populist hero while robbing his own base blind. And now Republicans are left trying to explain why their leader doesn’t seem to know what’s actually in the legislation he’s demanding they pass.

Trump’s message: “Never cut Medicaid if you want to win elections.”

Trump’s bill: Cuts Medicaid by over $1 trillion.

This isn’t strategy. It’s confusion wrapped in ego, wrapped in a talking point. And it’s exactly what happens when the senile old man in charge doesn’t read his briefings, gets his talking points from Fox News, and can’t explain his own “beautiful” bill.
