TRUMP BABIES? Dr. Oz Has a Plan to Increase the U.S. Birthrate that Has a Troubling History

The Ego that Ate America is once again on the rampage as Donald Trump leads a parade of his cult devotees to his gold-plated Oval Office for a ceremonial Kissing Of The Royal…let’s say Ring. On this occasion Trump was exalting himself for proposing a maternal health initiative, including the launch of a new government website for new and expectant mothers. And if it’s anything like Trump’s other initiatives, America’s moms better steer clear of it.

Donald Trump

This sort of glory hailing by Trump has become a regularly scheduled affair to fluff Dear Leader. And he probably really needs it now, as his persistently cranky disposition may be more on edge than usual due to his abysmally depressed approval ratings. With each new day he manages to achieve another record low.

SEE THIS: Trump is APPALLED that Nobody is Talking About a CNN Poll With 100% Approval – That Doesn’t Exist

Of particular note during this conclave were the contributions by Trump’s administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, “doctor” Mehmet Oz, whose very name conjures up images of a conman behind a curtain. Dr. Oz was called upon to discuss some of the critical details that made up Trump’s new initiative. And if you were expecting more of the standard BS that emanates from the Trump regime, you won’t be disappointed. Oz began by lobbying for what he called “Trump Babies.” No, really…

“There are private companies that are now taking advantage of the whole group of individuals who can get access to fertility medications and its treatments that go with them. And if the services get better, we make them more affordable, we’ll have more Trump babies.”

Dr. Oz wants "more Trump babies?" "TRUMP BABIES!?!"See "The Lebensborn Program"encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a…

WHUT? Dr. Oz wants “more Trump babies?” “TRUMP BABIES!?!” WTF are Trump Babies? And if they are anything like Eric and Don Jr., who actually wants them?

What is more worrisome is that this sort of babbling is reminiscent of another initiative that was pursued by one of Trump’s historical idols. Way back in the 1930’s the Hitler regime proposed something that sounded chillingly similar. While there were some notable differences in details, just the rhetorical similarity makes one’s skin crawl. According to the Holocaust Encyclopedia

“The Nazi regime encouraged the birth of children deemed ‘racially valuable’ in order to increase Germany’s ‘Aryan’ population. This campaign closely reflected the regime’s racial ideology and theories of eugenics.” […]

“The Lebensborn program was designed by the SS to increase Germany’s declining birthrate…[Heinrich] Himmler personally oversaw many aspects of the Lebensborn program. He encouraged SS men to marry early and have at least four children.” […]

“The Nazi regime strengthened existing German laws that prohibited most abortions.”

Trump has definitely advocated policies that approach the Nazi’s brand of eugenics. Aside from frequently boasting about his own “superior” genes, Trump has referred to minorities as “vermin” who are “poisoning the blood” of America. He has maligned immigrants who he said came from “shithole countries.” He has complained that there are already too many of “those” people who don’t meet the genetic standards he has set. No, really…

Dr. Oz went on to outline his plan for a Whiter America. That plan calls for addressing a crisis that he describes as being “under-babied.” No, really…

“Let me speak about the realities that one in three Americans are under-babied. What does under-babied mean? That means that you either don’t have any children or you have less children than you would normally want to have. And to Katie’s point, we have a crisis that’s causing our fertility rate to drop below 1.5. The replacement rate is 2.1. So we’re way below what we need just to replace the people that we have in America.”

Dr Oz: "One in three Americans are under-babied"

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-05-11T15:28:35.754Z

Now, on the surface that may not sound particularly racist. But when you look at the numbers that Oz uses to justify his plan, his true motivations become clear. As recently reported by ABC News

“A major demographic shift is underway in the United States. White births in the country have fallen below 50% for the first time ever. That’s among the findings in a new study published Friday by professors from the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell.”

The birthrate that Oz is worried about isn’t that of the nation as a whole, and certainly not that of the nation’s minorities, whose birthrate remains pretty strong. What the Trumpists are afraid of is that minorities are reproducing at significantly higher rates than Whites. And in Trumpland they consider that to be a crisis that requires immediate attention.

Thus their new proposal that is aimed at those who they currently perceive to be under producing. And that’s the White population. The Trump regime seems to have improved on the Nazi plan by disguising it in softer language, and by not being as blatantly bigoted. But it unmistakably shares some of the same objectives.

What’s more, those objectives are also being pursued by Trump and his MAGA Republicans in electoral matters by drawing new congressional district maps that erase districts currently represented by Blacks and other minorities. And if you think that it’s all just a coincidence, then don’t be surprised when you find out that you’re next.

Trump Withdraws Unqualified Surgeon General Nominee, Replaces Her with a Fox News Hack

The parade of sycophantic incompetents that Donald Trump has tapped for his second occupation of the White House continues to march in lock step with Dear Leader’s “vision” of an authoritarian cult. There has never been an administration so jam-packed with unquestioning devotees who blindly follow their master’s decrees.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Fox News, Vaccine

The latest example of this mind-hive behavior comes with Trump’s unstable maneuvering to fill the post of Surgeon General. Nearly one year ago Trump nominated Casey Means for the position. She was uniquely unqualified. She didn’t even have an active medical license. And this was Trump’s nominee to replace his first choice, Janette Nesheiwat, who was equally unqualified. So naturally, now that Trump is ditching Means, he is turning to his favorite job recruiting site, Fox News…

SEE THIS: Trump’s Nominees Are Largely Fox News Alum, Mar-a-Lago Patrons, and Billionaires

Trump’s third attempt at the Surgeon General’s post is Nicole Saphier, a Fox News contributor whose nomination is typically swimming in controversy. He announced his new nominee on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, by first assailing Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy – a medical doctor – and threatening his Senate seat…

“For months, Senator Bill Cassidy (of the GREAT State of Louisiana!), a very disloyal person whose ‘TRUMP’ Endorsement got him elected, but later voted to impeach ‘President Trump’ on what has now proven to be a total Hoax and Scam, has stood in the way of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Nominee, Casey Means, for the important position of U.S. Surgeon General.”

Oh, so now Means was Trump’s Health and Human Services Secretary, RFK, Jr.’s nominee? To be fair, Trump did admit that he didn’t know Means when he nominated her and was relying on RFK, Jr.’s recommendation. Trump followed up that comment with one that provided some background on Saphier. Although he failed to even mention her association with Fox News. Trump babbled that…

“I am pleased to announce that I am nominating Dr. Nicole B. Saphier to be the next SURGEON GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. […] She is also an INCREDIBLE COMMUNICATOR, who makes complicated health issues more easily understood by all Americans.”

Trump then followed up on that comment with another swipe at Cassidy, hoping that he will be voted out of office in the upcoming Republican primary. Trump endorsed MAGA GOP Rep. Julia Letlow in that race.

As for Saphier, she is not exactly a renowned medical professional. To the contrary, she often made bizaarre and defamatory comments in her appearances on Fox News. For instance, in a segment discussing the release of a special counsel report that exonerated President Biden of any alleged wrongdoings, Saphier, who is a radiologist with no credentials in psychology or politics, made an irresponsible remote diagnosis falsely asserting that Biden, because he criticized Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy, “is having some sort of cognitive decline.”

So in Saphier’s mind, criticizing Fox News correspondents is proof of mental impairment. And that’s the quality of advice that America can expect from Saphier if she is confirmed as Surgeon General. Which makes her the perfect subordinate of RFK, Jr., whose science-denying, anti-vaccine, deranged behavior includes collecting road kill to examining their genitals.

This also means that the health of the American people is going to be at great risk if they are foolish enough to rely on any of Trump’s appointees. After, he isn’t exactly a pillar of mental health…

Trump to Americans Whose Lives Are at Risk By His Repealing Pollution Regs: ‘Don’t Worry About It’

The determination of Donald Trump to foul the Earth with fossil fuel pollution on behalf of the oil and coal oligarchs who funnel donations (aka bribes) to him, has been a staple of his political agenda from his earliest days in politics. Even prior to that, Trump was opposed to environmental regulations that were imposed on his real estate properties.

Donald Trump Climate Change

Consequently, no one should be surprised by Trump’s latest efforts to give the toxic energy industry moguls their money’s worth. Never mind what it costs the inhabitants of the planet who will suffer more severe health consequences and natural disasters. Trump’s painfully stupid perspectives on the issue take precedence over science and compassion.

SEE THIS: Trump Declares that ‘The Days of Stupidity Are Over’ in a Stupid Anti Wind and Solar Energy Rant

On Thursday Trump announced that he is ordering his administration to repeal the endangerment findings that have been a part of the nation’s environmental policies since 2009. As reported by PBS

“The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressive move by the president to roll back climate regulations. The rule finalized by the Environmental Protection Agency rescinds a 2009 government declaration known as the endangerment finding that determined that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare.”

The scientific community has affirmed that greenhouse gases are a primary cause of climate pattern disruptions that can exacerbate storms and extreme weather leading to increased destruction, injury, and fatalities. Likewise, it causes many health problems that lead to much higher rates of illness and death. But Trump couldn’t care less about any of that. It isn’t likely to impact him in the few years that he has remaining. So when he was asked about the impact on the American people, he replied just as you might expect someone with zero concern for anyone but himself…

Question: What do you tell Americans who are concerned that repealing the endangerment finding comes at a cost to public health and the environment based on science?
Trump: I tell them don’t worry about it. Because it has nothing to do with public health. This was all a scam. A giant scam. This was a ripoff of the country by Obama and Biden…They’ll have more money to spend for healthcare.

Q: What do you tell Americans who are concerned that repealing the endangerment finding comes at a host to public health and the environment based on science?TRUMP: I tell them don't worry about it. This was all a scam. They'll have more money to spend for healthcare.

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-02-12T19:01:40.852Z

Oh. OK! Just don’t worry about it, you pansies. After all, it’s all a big scam. And naturally it’s the fault of Presidents Obama and Biden. Trump has previously claimed that it’s a scam by China. Anyway, you’ll have more money to spend on healthcare. Which, of course, is a lie. But humoring his alleged logic, he’s saying that when you or your family do contract serious illnesses, you’ll be able to pay at least part of your doctor bills. That should provide you with some comfort, doesn’t it?

Trump’s proposed repeal of the endangerment regulations will surely face some pushback by states in the courts. California Gove. Gavin Newsom has already made a strong statement in that regard…

“This decision betrays the American people and cements the Republican Party’s status as the pro-pollution party. If this reckless decision survives legal challenges, it will lead to more deadly wildfires, more extreme heat deaths, more climate-driven floods and droughts, and greater threats to communities nationwide — all while the EPA dismisses the overwhelming science that has protected public health for decades.”

“Donald Trump may put corporate greed ahead of communities and families, but California will not stand by — we will sue to challenge this illegal action, and we will continue fighting climate pollution here in our state. We will continue to lead because the lives and livelihoods of our people depend on it.”

Trump has a historically abysmal record of success in court on matters like these. And his arguments for this case are just as bad as those of the other cases he has lost in humiliating fashion. Let’s hope that his streak of failure continues. for the sake of of everyone that shares this planet.

Fox News Finally Admits that Republicans Have No Healthcare Plan, Then Blames it on Democrats

From its inception thirty years ago, the mission of Fox News has been to promote the Republican Party and its right-wing principles. With the advent of a populist cult leader in Donald Trump, Fox News adjusted their role from political ally to glassy-eyed loyalists, performing the function of Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda.

Fox News, Donald Trump Baby

Fox News isn’t just an arm of the MAGA media machine, it actually employs Trump’s Daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump, as a primetime weekend program host. That’s just one example of how closely Trump and Fox are intertwined. More examples are readily available. Such as how Fox News gushes over the alleged physical and mental superiority of Trump, despite all the evidence that both are in severe decline.

SEE THIS: HUH? Fox News Praises Trump for Being 80 Years Old and Severely Sleep Deprived

However, the latest example of how devotional Fox News is toward their Dear Leader came in Monday’s episode of Trump’s favorite Fox News morning show, Fox and Friends. In a segment intended to bash Democrats for not supporting Trump’s illegal war against Venezuela, co-host Brian Kilmeade, detours to the valid criticism of Trump that he isn’t paying attention to the things that matter most to the American people. And high on that list is the crisis over healthcare availability and affordability. Unfortunately for Kilmeade, his strategy just affirms how out of touch the GOP is. And how dishonest Fox News is.

Kilmeade: “I have news for you. The Republicans don’t have a health care program. They can’t have a crisis. It’s your program that’s in crisis. And you can, as a president, have a foreign policy and a domestic policy.”

Brian Kilmeade: “I have news for you. The Republicans don't have a health care program. They can't have a crisis.”

Media Matters for America (@mmfa.bsky.social) 2026-01-05T16:51:31.766Z

Okay then. Democrats have long denounced the Republican Party for not having a healthcare plan. The GOP has raged about the Democrat’s Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) for fifteen years, promising to repeal and replace it. But in all that time they have never managed to deliver an alternative. Nevertheless, they insisted that they were ready to go forward with their imaginary plan that they assured was better and cheaper. If only it existed.

Kilmeade then concluded that the GOP’s lack of a healthcare plan means that any healthcare crisis is therefore the fault of Democrats. WTF? It is Republicans who have tried to hobble Obamacare which, by the way, is broadly popular with the majority of the American people across political lines.

Kilmeade also points to Democrats and says that “It’s your program that’s in crisis.” No it’s not! It’s the people’s program. And it’s Republicans who are deliberately putting it in crisis by refusing to extend the premium subsidies, without which costs will double or triple or worse. But to Fox News that’s the Democrats’ fault? Also, Kilmeade says that a president can “have a foreign policy and a domestic policy.” That’s true. And Trump has neither.

This is familiar behavior by Republicans. They can’t take responsibility for anything. They currently control the House, the Senate, the presidency, and the Supreme Court, but still say that Democrats are to blame for the hardships being thrust on the nation that is being governed by Republicans.

Fortunately, later this year there will be an election that looks to be trending in favor of the Democrats. And when they have the upper hand, they will show Republicans, and the nation, that progress can be made when you have the people’s interests at heart, and the intelligence and compassion to act on their behalf. Rather than the GOP cowards who are beholden only to Herr Trump.

WHUT? ‘Doctor’ Oz, Tells Fox News That He Has to Keep Trump’s Healthcare Plans Secret – Why?

After more than 40 days, the longest government shutdown in American history is nearing an end. It broke the record that was previously held by – you guessed it – Donald Trump during his first term. However, the deal that was agreed to by Republicans and a handful of Democratic senators is hardly satisfactory to anyone.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, Republican, GOP

The deal to end the Trump Shutdown consists mainly of a promise to hold a vote on extending the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) subsidies after the government is open. It also guarantees that fired federal employees will be rehired, and others will receive backpay. Most importantly, it funds SNAP benefits for one year to keep families from starving while Republicans held them hostage to their demands to kill Obamacare.

SEE THIS: Trump’s New Plan to Kill Obamacare Would Cost People More and Make Insurance Companies Richer

Many Democrats are not pleased with the deal. They are disappointed that they went through this melodrama without getting significant concessions from Trump and his MAGA minions in Congress. But Republicans aren’t especially thrilled either. They will still have to vote on the ACA subsidies in a couple of months, when they will face another potential shutdown. In the meantime, they will suffer politically for having adopted such a cruel agenda that harms children and seniors.

It is notable that Republicans aren’t taking much of a victory lap upon nailing this down. In fact, they are making excuses and running from questions about the deal that they orchestrated. Among their weakling apologists is Trump’s administrator of the Centers for Medicare Services, “doctor” Mehmet Oz. He dashed over to Fox News for an interview with their Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, to try to spin the deal as a win for the GOP. It didn’t go very well.

BARTIROMO: How do you want this to play out once the ACA subsidies expire?
DR OZ: We have lots of great ideas, but I don’t want to show our cards. As the president often says, why would I telegraph to you what we’re gonna do. We have to have an open government.

BARTIROMO: How do you want this to play out once the ACA subsidies expire?DR OZ: We have lots of great ideas, but I don't want to show our cards. As the president often says, why would I telegraph to you what we're gonna do?

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-11-10T14:04:00.151Z

REALLY? Oz wants to know why he should “show our cards” to reveal Trump’s healthcare plans. How about because that’s his freakin’ job? This isn’t a top secret military mission. It is a public servant describing what he’s doing on behalf of the people he is supposedly there to serve. It’s his obligation to keep the people informed so that they can make decisions about whether or not these bureaucrats are performing up to their expectations. But Oz has the gall to refuse to tell the people what he’s going to do, and in the same breath say that “We have to have an open government.”

The claim by Oz that he has “lots of great ideas” is obviously a lie. If he did he would be proud to say what they are. But Republicans have been pretending to have an alternative to Obamacare for ten years. And for that entire time they have never presented it to the public. Trump himself has promised his plan in the oft-repeated “two weeks” that has never materialized.

So now we have another promise of a healthcare plan that for some reason needs to be kept secret. And this is the stance that the Trumpists are taking in the wake of their Trump Shutdown. Trump et al will undoubtedly endeavor to spin this as a win for themselves. That’s a lie. Trump and Republicans are already taking the heat for this fiasco. So we shouldn’t help them by bashing our side and suppressing turnout in the future. We are winning and we need to keep up that momentum.

TRUMP AND THE GOP ARE TOAST…? "November has the worst ever consumer sentiment of current conditions since 1951."? "More than 3 in 5 Americans (61%) say that Trump's policies have worsened economic conditions in America."

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-11-10T20:16:48.783Z

What’s more, even if Democrats got the ACA subsidies from the Senate, the House GOP would have voted them down. We could not allow people to starve in the meantime. Democrats need to point that out and, conversely, deploy their own spin as it being a Democratic win. Whether you believe it or not. Our goal needs to be longer term. We need to win elections in 2026 and 2028 and beyond. Unless you think that Republicans would be better.

Trump’s New Plan to Kill Obamacare Would Cost People More and Make Insurance Companies Richer

One thing that Donald Trump deserves credit for is his steadfast determination to make life more difficult for most Americans, while enriching himself, his billionaire pals, and the wealthy corporations that suck up to him. Conversely, he is just as committed to creating hardship for anyone who is insufficiently worshipful.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, coronavirus

In the midst of the longest government shutdown in United States history (breaking the record set in 2018 by, you guessed it, Donald Trump), the American people are being traumatized by the cutoff of critical SNAP benefits, families are without services from Head Start, airports are trying to stay open without sufficient staff, including air traffic controllers, and so much more chaos and calamity. Meanwhile, Trump is partying at Mar-a-Lago and cavorting with foreign dictators that he admires and seeks to emulate.

SEE THIS: Trump Slobbers Over Hungarian Dictator Viktor Orbán, Whose Unchecked Power He Envies and Craves

The Trump Shutdown is being prolonged because Trump and his Republican MAGA minions in Congress are adamantly opposed to extending the health insurance subsidies provided by the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare). They even refused a temporary one year extension just to get the government open and resume the services enumerated above. And now Trump has provided his proposal for a new healthcare plan that would be disastrous for anyone stuck with it. He posted the plan on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, saying that…

“I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE, and have money left over. In other words, take from the BIG, BAD Insurance Companies, give it to the people, and terminate, per Dollar spent, the worst Healthcare anywhere in the World, ObamaCare. Unrelated, we must still terminate the Filibuster!”

Trump's latest effort to KILL OBAMACARE makes zero sense.What makes him think there would be better, cheaper insurance to buy from an unregulated market? That doesn't exist now. Insurance companies would still be able to gouge people.He could use that same money to fund MEDICARE FOR ALL!

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-11-08T16:45:09.313Z

As usual, the plan proposed by Trump is an incoherent mess that fails to achieve any beneficial goal. In fact, it would only make things much worse. For Trump’s plan to work it would require regulations that are in Obamacare that he would be eliminating. Insurance companies could go back to denying preexisting conditions. They wouldn’t be required to fully cover preventive care. Companies could raise premiums and cancel patients at will.

Furthermore, Trump’s plan would destroy the risk pool that enables lower premiums. Also, what would happen if people didn’t spend the allocated money on insurance and later were not covered when they got sick? And what makes him think there would be better, cheaper insurance to buy without Obamacare? It would just be returning to the old system where insurance companies could gouge people unfettered by regulation.

As a justification for his plan, Trump posted a graphic on Truth Social that showed that the stock of seven health insurance companies performed well over a period of 15 years, increasing from between about 400% to 1,200%. Which is pretty average over that long a time frame. During the same stretch there was a similar increase in the Dow (330%), S&P 500 (480%), and NASDAQ (900%).

Trump posted this graphic on Truth Social today. What's his point? That health insurance stock did well over 15 years?FYI: During the same time period there was a similar increase in the Dow (330%), S&P 500 (480%), and NASDAQ (900%).If Trump really cared, he could support Medicare for All!

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-11-08T09:22:12.816Z

Trump is using this as his reason for Republicans to reject the one year extension offered by Democrats to end the Trump Shutdown. So Trump and the Republicans are deliberately prolonging the shutdown because they would rather people be forced to pay more for health insurance, or lose it altogether.

However, Trump is ignoring a much more obvious solution to the problem. He could just use the same money that he’s proposing to send out in cash to fund Medicare for All. Which is a real, financially viable option that would actually benefit people rather than corporations. Which is, of course, why Trump and the GOP are so fervently against it.

UPDATE: Later the same day, Trump posted another comment on this subject that managed to exceed the stupidity of his prior comment. He insisted on “TAKING THE ‘FAT CAT’ INSURANCE COMPANIES OUT OF THE CORRUPT SYSTEM OF HEALTHCARE” and instead pay “HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS…DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE.” They would then buy their own insurance from the very same “FAT CAT” insurance companies rather than through Obamacare. And for some unexplained reason they would get a “MUCH BETTER POLICY, FOR MUCH LESS MONEY,” despite not having the collective power of the government program and the regulations that protect the consumer’s interests. Great plan, huh?

FINALLY: We Now Have Trump’s Health Care Plan – But It’s More of a Wealth Care Plan for the Rich

The Affordable Care Act (ACA), commonly known as Obamacare, was signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010. And for the fifteen years since, Republicans have sworn to repeal and replace it. Naturally, Donald Trump has embraced their anti-health agenda and joins in their complaints that Obamacare is a failing, socialist program. Never mind the fact that majorities of the American people approve of it and favor its continuation and expansion. Including majorities of Trump supporters.

Donald Trump

In addition to the GOP’s fierce opposition to Obamacare, they have spent the past fifteen years promising to reveal their own healthcare plan that they insist would be much better and less expensive. But apparently fifteen years have not been enough for them to actually produce their promised alternative. And while their failure to offer any plan of their own drags on, Trump and Republicans simultaneously persist in their efforts to push millions of Americans off of the plans they have now. Sometimes for preposterous reasons.

SEE THIS: Why Won’t Republicans Release the Epstein Files That They Keep Insisting Will Exonerate Trump?

On Friday Mehmet Oz, Trump’s Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, was interviewed on Fox News by Fox’s Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo. In the course of their discussion “doctor” Oz provided some rare insight into the Healthcare plan that Trump and the MAGA GOP have in mind…

Dr Oz: What the healthcare system should do is not just pay the bills. We should make you so healthy that you flourish in life and you engage the workplace. Getting America back to work full speed, getting you to work longer if you desire, that builds trillions of dollars of value to the GDP. That’s the goal of the health system.
Bartiromo: And that’s what you’ve been a champion of for years.

? Getting America back to work? Getting you to work longer? Build trillions of dollars of value to the GDPThat's what Trump flunky "Doctor" Oz thinks is the goal of America's health system. It's all about money and serving the aristocracy. Is that your goal in being healthy?

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-10-24T16:49:12.949Z

And there you have it. According to a top official in Trump’s Health and Human Services Department, their priorities are “Getting America back to work…getting you to work longer…and build[ing] trillions of dollars of value to the GDP” (Gross Domestic Product). And you thought that healthcare policy had something to do with having access to doctors for yourself and your family, coverage for medical treatment and supplies, preventing illness and death, and general quality of life? What were you thinking?

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Oz, who Trump recruited from Fox News, would articulate this warped version of healthcare. After all, he is a well known quack who has advocated phony remedies and dangerous practices. During the COVID pandemic, Oz “promoted the use of hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug, as a cure for COVID-19 on more than 25 Fox News broadcasts in March and April 2020.” And “In April 2020, Oz appeared on Fox News with Sean Hannity and said that reopening schools in the United States might be worth the increased number of deaths it would cause.” Would those increased deaths be worth it if it were your children?

The revelation by Oz that Trump’s goal for healthcare is to boost the GDP is consistent with pretty much everything else we know about Trump, the most transactional “president” in American history. He has always been about the grift and enriching himself and his rich friends. I can’t wait to see the details of how filling the workforce with all of our newly healthy, and older, citizens will juice the bottom line of American businesses.

Fox News Lies Fuel the Trump Regime’s Efforts to Blame Democrats and Migrants for the Shutdown

It’s Day 15 of the Trump Shutdown and there is still no discernable exit scenario. Republicans continue to insist that they have nothing to negotiate. Democrats remain steadfastly committed to preventing the healthcare costs for millions of Americans from doubling.

Donald Trump and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

So naturally it’s time for Donald Trump and his minions to look to their Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, for support to bolster their faltering campaign to strangle the life out of the government that they despise and to avoid opening it up to serve the people, and perhaps, hold a vote on the issue that most terrifies Trump: releasing the Epstein files.

SEE THIS: Trump Unites America – In Opposition to His Shutdown and His Skyrocketing Healthcare Costs

On Wednesday morning, Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, joined in on the lies that Democrats want to keep the government shutdown in order to give free healthcare to illegals aliens. But her “proof” of that is a story by Fox News that completely fails to validate the charge – even when it isn’t spreading flagrant falsehoods. The article published by Fox News leads off saying that…

“EXCLUSIVE: The White House unveiled a number of criminal illegal migrants who received Medicaid as the Senate remains in gridlock over the government shutdown. Fox News Digital obtained detailed information surrounding the arrests of 49 illegal migrants, who have all been deported under the Trump administration, who were arrested for an array of crimes that occurred in the U.S. […] Republicans argue that ‘more than 1 million illegal aliens’ receive Medicaid under the previously existing program that was revised under Trump’s landmark bill.”

Nowhere in the Fox News article that Leavitt cited is there any documentation of the alleged “criminal illegal migrants who received Medicaid.” And even if there were documentation, finding 49 out of a million is hardly evidence of a crisis. It’s barely a rounding error.

The Fox News article concedes that “federal law prohibits undocumented individuals from obtaining Medicaid.” Which is a point that Democrats have been making all along. The article even acknowledges that “A White House official explained that illegal migrants could obtain Medicaid through different means, but, specifically, emergency care.” And emergency care is mandated by the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), a law that was signed by President Ronald Reagan in 1986.

The article further stated that “emergency care spending on those not legally in the U.S. rose from $3 billion to $9 billion under President Joe Biden.” Once again, there is nothing validating that claim in the article. So it should come as no surprise that it is a totally false claim. According to KFF Health News

“A new Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report shows a total of $27 billion in federal and state spending on Emergency Medicaid for noncitizen immigrants between fiscal years (FY) 2017 and 2023. […] this spending represents less than 1% of overall spending in Medicaid over the entire time period, and, in some years, is less than half of a percent. Spending on Emergency Medicaid was $3.8 billion in FY 2023 and was .4% of total Medicaid spending that year.”

The figures stated above cover most of the Biden presidency and don’t come close to the $9 billion stated by Fox News. What’s more, those CBO numbers are for all immigrants – both legal and otherwise. Which means that the Republican excuse for keeping the Trump Shutdown going is a tiny fraction of federal funds for emergency care that has been mandated by law for forty years.

The real reason that Trump and Republicans are deliberately prolonging the shutdown is, of course, their determination to shutter dozens of critical government agencies, fire thousands of federal employees, and reform American democracy into an autocracy that is ruled by Dear Leader Trump. It’s a model of totalitarian takeover that Trump has borrowed from his idols, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. It’s dangerous, and treasonous, and he must not be allowed to succeed. Because in America we have NO KINGS! Be there.

HUH? Trump Promises to Work with ‘Radical Left Democrats’ on ‘the Things They Want to Destroy’

The Trump Shutdown is now ten days old, and there is no hint of any resolution on the horizon. What there is are incessant lies by Donald Trump and his MAGA cronies who are trying to blame the shutdown on Democrats who have no control over any branch of the government.

Donald Trump WTF

The only reason that the shutdown continues is that Republicans have steadfastly refused to engage in any negotiations with Democrats. That’s because 1) Republicans are terrified of the prospect of having to vote on releasing the Trump-riddled Epstein files, and 2) the GOP is dead set against allowing any compromise that would prevent healthcare costs from skyrocketing as a result of their brutal funding cuts and hatred of migrants, and the thought that they might receive life-saving care in an emergency.

That’s why after a week and a half Trump is posting bizarre rants on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, seeking to shift blame for the shutdown on Democrats. Like his arguments on almost any subject, they are entirely devoid of logic, which he replaces with anger and insults. On Saturday morning he raged that…

“Chuck Schumer recently said, ‘Every day gets better’ during their Radical Left Shutdown. I DISAGREE! If nothing is done, because of ‘Leader’ Chuck Schumer and the Democrats, our Brave Troops will miss the paychecks they are rightfully due on October 15th. […] The Radical Left Democrats should OPEN THE GOVERNMENT, and then we can work together to address Healthcare, and many other things that they want to destroy.”

Of course, Trump is being deliberately dishonest with his reference to Schumer saying “Every day gets better.” Schumer was explicitly referring to the fact that the public is increasingly siding with Democrats against Trump and the GOP. The people recognize that it is the responsibility of the majority party in Congress to shape a compromise on a budget bill that will pass. Democrats have no power to do that.

Trump puts a spotlight on the Republicans’ refusal to negotiate by adding that he is only willing to “work together” with the “Radical Left Democrats” on “things that they want to destroy.” WTF does that even mean? Is Trump saying that he is amenable to destroying things in concert with Democrats? Why would he do that? Democrats, of course, don’t want to do that.

This is entirely a Trump thing, It’s obvious that he is just spewing noxious nonsense as a way of avoiding doing the work that the people expect from a president and their representatives in Congress. And contrary to Trump’s limp demand, Democrats cannot “OPEN THE GOVERNMENT.” Especially when the Republican leaders in Congress refuse to even come to work.

Trump also said that he’s directing his Secretary of “War,” Pete Hegseth, to “use all available funds to get our Troops PAID.” But he doesn’t say from where he would get these funds during a government shutdown. He also accuses Democrats of holding the nation hostage, which is, of course, what Trump and the GOP are doing. But at least he admits that the shutdown is “dangerous.” Previously he has been celebrating it as an opportunity to fire government workers. But only the Democratic ones.

It’s telling that the guy who pretends to have written a book on “The Art of the Deal,” is so pathetically incapable of making any deals. If Trump thinks that insulting Democrats as “radical,” and offering to work with them to “destroy” things is going to lead to them making a deal, he is even more deranged that we thought. And that’s really saying something.

Trump Unites America – In Opposition to His Shutdown and His Skyrocketing Healthcare Costs

Now that Donald Trump has succeeded in implementing his government shutdown, the blame game in Washington D.C. has reached a fever pitch. Naturally, Democrats are blaming Republicans, and Republicans are blaming immigrants – and, oh yeah, Democrats.

Donald Trump

The Republican messaging is rife with flagrant lies about what Democrats want in order to pass the budget legislation. They insist that Democrats are demanding free healthcare for “illegal aliens.” That’s a lie. There are zero Democrats proposing that. But Republicans have decided that this will be their sole talking point because they couldn’t care less about ending the shutdown. In fact, they are rejoicing in it, and even bragging that it is helping them to achieve some of their long term goals.

However, the American people have other ideas. They are opposed to Trump and his GOP cohorts allowing healthcare costs to rise to exorbitantly unaffordable levels. As reported by CNN, a new poll by the Washington Post finds that…

“Seven in ten Americans side with Democrats in saying that Obamacare subsidies should be extended. {Adding that} “A lot more people are blaming the president and congressional Republicans than Democrats. [47% to 30%]”

Rep. Rich McCormick dismisses a Washington Post poll showing Americans are blaming Republicans for the shutdown: "Polling is not very accurate because the pollsters generally get out of it what they want. I don't trust those polls."

Meanwhile, over on Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, viewers got a morsel of truth from Democratic strategist Dan Kanninen. He told Fox’s Brian Roberts that…

“This month, if the ACA tax credits do not go forward, which is what the shutdown is about…viewers on this network who are 60 years old and making $75,000 a year, will see $841.00 increases monthly to the health insurance premiums.”

Republicans were hoping that they could shove this shutdown down America’s throat and make Democrats take the heat for it. But the American people are smarter than Republicans thought. And the GOP haven’t helped themselves with statements by their Dear Leader that reveal how thrilled he is with the shutdown that will cause severe harm to millions. He posted on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that…

“I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM…I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity.”

That comment is not only an expression of appreciation for the shutdown, but Trump is threatening to cut only “Democratic Agencies,” which is an openly partisan, and potentially illegal admission. He also reveals that he knows well about the authoritarian handbook “Project 2025,” that he has been denying any knowledge of for months.

What’s more, his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, was also on Fox News touting Trump’s position on the shutdown and the grossly adverse consequences of it. She laid out a threat that is reminiscent of Mafia lingo in a futile attempt to coerce Democrats into submission, saying…

“Democrats should know that they put the White House and the president in this position. And if they don’t want further harm on their constituents back home, then they need to reopen the government. It’s very simple.”

Karoline Leavitt tells Fox News that Democrats must comply with Trump's demands. This is mob talk: Do what we say and your constituents won't be harmed!Why doesn't Trump agree with Democrats to stop skyrocketing healthcare costs to prevent further harm to his constituents? It's very simple.

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-10-02T17:03:27.568Z

Maybe Trump and the Republicans are the ones who should reopen the government, since they are the majority party in Congress with the power and obligation to do so. Or are they cool with harming their constituents back home? Clearly it’s the latter. Why else would Trump and company be moving so quickly and gleefully to dispense their harm?
