And even if you cut the total cost of health care in half, every bit of cash from every billionaire wouldn’t cover the cost for a year. So it will become a cost issue.
My preference is that there are no insurance premiums. No new taxes for anyone other than expanding the Medicare inc limits

It's idiotic to ask him these things while his mind is freshly full of Russian propaganda. Ru wants to occupy all of Ukraine, destroy everything Ukrainian, absorb, russify, and rebuild as Ru. That's what they're attempting to do in the occupied territories. It's genocidal intent, not good will.
Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

I understand that kitchen table issues are big factors in voters' perceptions. And the Epstein files are significant, as they should be. But - I have to tell you - IMO - listening to Trump speak to and paraphrase Putin - there's nothing else that shouts his unfitness as loudly.

This is an absolutely unhinged thing to say about a country that was invaded, bombed, and terrorized by Russia. Calling Putin “generous” while Ukraine is fighting for its survival tells you everything about where Trump’s loyalties actually lie.

Trump is always “making progress” despite the fact that Putin never agrees to compromise on any of the maximalist demands he has had for three years. What are we making progress on? Getting Ukraine to make more concessions while Putin laughs? That is progress?
