Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1074650975456124928?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 17, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The notion that Trump really wants to work with Democrats is laughable on its face. He has been the most hostile president to the opposing party in modern times. He has not simply disagreed with Democrats on policy or advocated for the positions of Republicans. Trump has lashed out with malicious and personal insults aimed at the party and individual members. More than two years after the election he is still shrieking at Hillary Clinton over matters that have long been resolved. And his seething hatred for Democrats still dominates most of his thoughts. For instance:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=38306\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump declared<\/a><\/strong> that Democrats <em>&#8220;&#8230;want Open Borders and Unlimited Crime.&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=39505\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump said<\/a><\/strong> that <em>&#8220;Anybody that votes for a Democrat now is crazy.&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=39656\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump inexplicably claimed<\/a><\/strong> that <em>&#8220;The Democrat plan would obliterate Obamacare \u2013 It will destroy Medicare.&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=39966\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump even accused Democrats<\/a><\/strong> of being traitors for not applauding him at the State of the Union address: <em>&#8220;Can we call that treason? Why not? I mean, they certainly didn\u2019t seem to love our country very much.&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So now that Democrats have won majority control of the House of Representatives, Trump is feeling harmonious. Now that whatever leverage Trump had has been eroded due to the multiple criminal investigations encircling him and his crime family, he is pretending that he wants to work with Democrats to restore healthcare benefits that he and his GOP accomplices have deliberately sabotaged. Yeah, right. And this is all going down simultaneously with his threats to shut down the government over his idiotic and useless border wall.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>There is one thing in Trump&#8217;s latest tweet that has a ring of truth to it, although not in any way that he intended.

Because it could lead to the implementation of Medicare-for-All. It&#8217;s already a program whose popularity is growing by the day.
