In 2025, approximately 22 million Americans received subsidies through the Affordable Care Act Marketplace to help pay for their health insurance. That’s millions of working Americans who depend on these subsidies to afford coverage.
So who exactly is this statement supposed to appeal to? A significant number of Trump’s own constituents rely on healthcare.gov to purchase their health insurance. Without those subsidies, many of them are going to face the same financial reality I would.
Without my subsidy, my health insurance would cost approximately $1,800 a month. That’s $21,600 a year just to have health insurance, before paying a single dollar in deductibles or copays.
Man… Yeah, you’re absolutely right. That really is a matter of perspective.
I think what I struggle to understand is how people can intentionally vote against their own interests under the guise of familiarity. Have people genuinely been conditioned to believe that things that benefit society as a whole, and them as individuals, are somehow detrimental to them personally, while those same policies are somehow detrimental to the profits of large corporations?
I don’t know, man. It’s difficult to wrap my head around how effectively people can be convinced to work against their own interests.
So who exactly is this statement supposed to appeal to?
Left leaning voters specifically. He knows Democrats won’t be able to bring forth Universal Healthcare in a term or maybe even 2. It’s just to rile leftists and set up Democrats for a failure he knows they won’t be able to commit to.
So he’s conceding that Republicans are going to lose the elections this year and he wants to throw egg into the face of Democrats when they don’t provide universal healthcare?
That’s… No. No man. Leftists have nothing to do with any of this.
It’s something close to 80% of all Americans have their insurance either provided for them through Medicare and Medicaid or the workplace the other 20% is mostly through the healthcare act and the others are paying for themselves or don’t have it at all.
The extreme vast majority of the people that he is referring to already have some form of healthcare assistance nobody is going to buy this.
So who is he saying this to? Who’s supposed to look at this and go oh my God not free healthcare!?
he wants to throw egg into the face of Democrats when they don’t provide universal healthcare?
Yes, absolutely. That’s just the kind of person he has been so far. Ignorant leftists blame Democrats for not backing Universal Healthcare, DJT points out that that’s a possibility if Democrats get majority (which is absolutely is not), it’s a simple ploy is all. DJT throws things at the wall constantly to see what sticks.
Look at it creating a buzz here. Surely it’s making it’s rounds on Reddit, Facebook, and X as well. Unless it’s a narrative that him and his cronies keep pushing, it’ll be done talked about by tomorrow.
If it does end being a narrative they keep pushing, it makes Democrats look weak as it’s not something they can commit to even though it’s something a majority of American would want.
You actually make a very strong case here. You might be right, and I have to admit, it’s just crazy to me that this seemingly senile old man could be capable of such a high level of strategic thinking.
I’ve lived my entire life in this country and lived through the administrations of numerous presidents, but I’ve never seen anything quite like this. This entire administration is operating in ways that feel completely unprecedented in modern American history.
I have never seen the federal government treat immigrants with such abject disdain and discrimination. The racism and sexism are so blatant, so openly displayed, that you would think they’d be enough to turn the American people against this administration. And yet, somehow, those very things seem to energize its supporters rather than alienate them.
I genuinely hope they push things far enough that the American people finally begin to push back in a meaningful way. But then again, we’ve already seen massive protests, and it often feels like they accomplish very little. At some point, you have to wonder what it will take for people to draw a line and demand something better from their government.
Here’s the part I don’t understand.

That’s absolute insanity.
Voting against your own interests is a common thing that happens in democracies.

Humans are terrible.

When Trump uses words like “we” and makes speeches, he is only referring to his donors and henchmen.
We aren’t even a thought for him, not even his cult
