If you are an older American or disabled, Donald Trump wishes you would just drop dead. His budget proposal is the same as having a loaded gun pointed directly at you. Funding for ‘Meals on Wheels,’ which delivers food to the elderly and disabled will experience drastic cuts. Over the past several years, this necessary service has experienced reductions in its budget, and now millions more will go hungry, or at the least fail to receive nutritious meals.

Why should Trump care? He is a 70 year old, obese, white man who has plenty of money. His hope is that you die and stop taking money away from the one-percent.

When any of Trump’s circle of sinners speaks, he is lying; that’s just what they do. Trump ‘budget director,’ TEA Party darling Mick Mulvaney, said this about cutting funding for Meals on Wheels.

“Meals on Wheels sounds great,” but “to take that federal money and give it to the states, and say, ‘Look, we want to give you money for programs that don’t work’ — I can’t defend that anymore.”

AARP reports a significant difference in the health of older Americans who receive healthy, prepared meals, than those who receive frozen foods.

By the way, if you depend on Medicaid for many of your life-saving needs, I hope you have a pre-paid burial plan; you’re about to need it. Trump’s budget has a second loaded gun pointed right at you.
