How it started:

POLITICO Trump vows to ‘love and cherish’ Medicaid — while Republicans plot cuts for savings. Asked about broader spending cuts in the Oval Office on Friday afternoon while signing executive orders, Trump said we’ll “love and cherish” Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, the last of which insures more than 70 million Americans.

How it's going:

Tweet from Alice Miranda Ollstein (@AliceOllstein): Trump said in an interview last night: “Medicare, Medicaid — none of that stuff is going to be touched.” Today he endorsed the House plan to slash billions from Medicaid. Post from “Trump Posts on X” (@trump_repost): The House and Senate are doing a SPECTACULAR job of working together as one unified, and unbeatable, TEAM, however, unlike the Lindsey Graham version of the very important Legislation currently being discussed, the House Resolution implements my FULL America First Agenda…

Not even 24 hours after making promises to not touch Medicare and Medicaid, Donald Trump changed his tune and endorsed the GOP budget passed earlier this week that guts these critical programs by billions of dollars.
