Vice President JD Vance announced Wednesday that the Trump administration would "temporarily halt" some Medicaid funding to the state of Minnesota over fraud concerns, as part of what he described as an aggressive crackdown on misuse of public funds. Vance, who made the announcement with Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said the administration was taking the action "in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligations seriously to be good stewards of the American people's tax money."

Every day another outrage.

Trump is waging war on Minnesota.

But he "Cares" about the Iranian people...

Enough to Bomb them with Lethal Munitions.

Does he "Care" enough to "Save" Minnesota Too?

That's the Question. Skippy.

Does Minnesota need saving? I thought they wanted the Feds out of the State.

The Iranians don't want to be Bombed either.

So Is Trump Saving them?

Minnesota has approximately 1,373,840 registered Republicans (37.82% of registered voters).

On Tuesday 5 Nov 2024, 1,519,032 Minnesotans voted for Dummkopf Trumpf (46.68% of the total votes cast in the state).

~9.3% of Minnesota's population lives below the poverty line, which translates to roughly 520,000 people.

Trumpf's cruelty will impact impoverished Republicans in Minnesota.

If the poverty rate is evenly split between both parties: ~260,000 poor people who voted for Trumpf will be hurt by their own Lord and Master.
