Okay, you’re probably like me and hate the tacky label of “dumb blonde.” However, when one woman continues to display a level of stupidity, and even when she is proven to be ignorant and a liar, continues to place her mug in front of the television camera, the term “dumb blonde” becomes applicable and fair.

This is Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s personal spin doctor.

First of all, let me offer a personal fact. My wife purchased Obamacare until she reached 65 a year-and-a-half ago. We are on a fixed income, totaling just over $23,000 per year. We made too much money to receive Medicaid assistance. Knowing this, read what the White House’s prime bimbo has to say about Americans who desperately need Medicaid.

“Medicaid is intended for the poor, the needy, and the sick,” she said. “And what it has done is, under Obamacare, it has expanded the Medicaid pool of people who, quote, qualified beyond that. So if you have an able-bodied American who again is not poor, sick, needy — we’re not talking about the elderly who benefit, the children, the pregnant women, the disabled — if you’re able-bodied and you would like to go find employment and have employer-sponsored benefits, then you should be able to do that, and maybe you belong, as Secretary Price has made clear, in other places.”

In other words, ‘get a better job?’ Trump’s circle of sinners have never worked a day in their lives, and have no understanding about what it means to be an ‘American worker;’ a man or woman who struggles daily to provide for their families.

Thousands of ‘better jobs;’ jobs which were performed by less-educated Americans, are now in other nations thanks to billionaires like Trump and his spawn, Ivanka. All of their manufacturing businesses are away from America’s shores. As they defile the White House, their personal wealth is increasing by using their positions of power and influence.

‘Think Progress’ offers facts to rebuke Conway’s ‘alternative facts.’

“According to the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), 59 percent of Medicaid adults have jobs, and nearly 80 percent are part of working families. While many of those people might prefer to take advantage of employer-offered health care, a large percentage do not have that option. Only 46 percent of employers offer health care coverage, according to the latest KFF data.”

How long will ignorant Trump supporters choose to remain ignorant and allow Trump to mislead them and cover-up the truth? He has a single purpose as their illegitimate president; to increase his personal wealth. Every proposal offered by Trump and his hypocritical party offers enormous tax cuts, but they are tax cuts for him and 584 other billionaires enjoying the good life in America, not for working men and women.

Republicans are willing to give the Pentagon anything they request when they write the annual national budget. They cannot deny that at least 50 percent of hundreds of billions of dollars is wasted each year due to failed management and projects which prove unworkable, and are eventually scrapped, only after billions of dollars went to waste.

However, if an increase in a social program is proposed, Republicans scream foul, and continue to rant about the national deficit. Who do you think they support? It’s not you and your family; they support themselves and their owners.

Plainly put; Medicaid saves lives. Healthcare is about the right of every American to receive equal protection under the law. If those who are intended to work for and serve the people in Washington have healthcare, all Americans must have adequate healthcare. Contrary to what some right wing hypocrites would like you to believe, healthcare was mentioned in 1776, and contained in the Declaration of Independence.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

What does the word “life” mean to you?

Please re-post; thank you.
