Donald Trump Is Our Own Genghis Khan as He Savages Healthcare To Bring A Reign of Death On Americans
Under pressure from their 'King', Senate Republicans voted to tear health coverage from millions - especially women and children. Now they can deliver massive tax cuts to billionaires.
Donald Trump is officially on a mission to becoming our very own Genghis Khan. He, along with his callous Republican enablers in the Senate, and his disease -promoting Health and Human Services Secretary, RFK Jr will be American murderers of historic magnitude.
Listen Genghis Khan was probably the greatest mass murderer in all of human history, with historians estimating that he killed well over 10% of the world’s population of about 360 million at the time, for a total of 40 million people.
I’m not predicting that Donald Trump’s ‘Big Ugly Bill” will spark a massive kill -off of 10% of the American population of 340 million - but over the years, as a result of this bill - yes millions, will die prematurely.
In the meantime, starting in 2026 as his new ‘beautiful’ budget becomes the law of the land, the cruelty will begin and grow. Americans will learn that they have lost their healthcare coverage, they will be subjected to unnecessary suffering when they get sick and can’t afford care and then the lives of millions of citizens will begin to be lost before ‘their time’.
Trump and Republicans in the Senate and Congress are doing this deliberately. Knowingly. Callously. In a way that no other president and party has ever done in American history before. And they are doing it even to their actual red America voters.
We see this in the reddest of states as over 1.9 million Floridians and almost 1.7 million and over 651,000 Georgians will get kicked off their healthcare thanks to Donald Trump’s Big Ugly Bill.
Mitch McConnell told his Republican Senate colleagues that voters '‘will get over’ losing their healthcare! Really Mitch! the 185,000 Kentuckians who will lose their Medicaid, will just get over it when they can’t afford to see a doctor or take their children to get checkups?
Good luck with that.
Nevertheless, Republicans in the Senate banked on their constituents ‘getting over’ losing all their healthcare coverage as they decided to slash almost a trillion dollars from Medicaid funding on Sat night, June 28. They care a whole lot more about delivering huge tax cuts to billionaires like Elon Musk and Donald Trump himself.
That is a night that truly will go down in infamy.
TRUMP REVELS IN STEALING HEALTHCARE FROM MOMS & KIDS
Under relentless pressure from their ‘dear leader’ or ‘daddy’ Trump,, as he now wants to be called, Republican Senators voted for $930 billion in cuts to Medicaid - even more than the savage $800 billion in cuts passed by the Republican -controlled House of Representatives, in its version of Trump’s bill.
The Senate’s funding cut means that 16 million Americans will lose their healthcare insurance, a cutback in healthcare that is ‘unprecedented’ in the history of this country. Millions will now get needlessly sick because they can’t afford a doctor or hospital care.
And many of those Americans will end up dying.
That could include you or include women and children that you love.
And that number doesn’t even account for the deaths and unwarranted severe illnesses of women, children and men that will be the result of the defunding and closure of at least 300 rural hospitals and almost 600 nursing homes, because those institutions will no longer be able to survive financially after the massive Medicaid cuts.
What will happen to the over 40% of American women who depend on Medicaid to cover their childbirths?
Republicans don’t know and guess what - they don’t care!
What will happen to half of American children who get their healthcare through Medicaid?
Republicans don’t know and guess what - they don’t care!
They don’t care that American children will no longer be getting routine vaccinations since their parents won’t have medical coverage for their checkups.
In fact, the quack HHS Secretary RFK Jr won’t just not care, he’ll be thrilled that America’s children will go unvaccinated against deathly childhood diseases. That’s the way he wants it, uhuh, uhuh.
Who cares if kids die. Won’t that all be in the service of supposed ‘herd immunity’, the new MAGA/ Trump way of responding to epidemics.
Republicans had zero discussions about any of this fallout as they voted away Medicaid coverage in the dead of night, despite the fact that even a Fox News poll showed them that 59% of Americans hated the Trump bill that they would pass.
Does JD Vance who is on a campaign to convince American women to have more children, care that those kids will no longer be entitled to healthcare thanks to his boss’s bill?
Absolutely not! You know that.
But there’s more to Trump’s Genghis Khan- like campaign to sweep away healthcare, especially from American women.
The three Trump- appointed right wing Supreme Court justices plus reactionaries Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and John Roberts ruled this past week that states are AOK to cut off all Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood clinics.
Their decision in Medina V Planned Parenthood means that an estimated 200 Planned Parenthood clinics will close nationwide.
The 6 Supreme Court justices who gleefully made this ruling don’t care that one in three American women rely on a Planned Parenthood clinic for reproductive healthcare, as do 11% of American men.
Do you know what that means in real life?
NO MORE BREAST CANCER SCREENINGS OR PAP SMEARS FOR YOU
The so called ‘pro life’ party will welcome the angel of death as it collects the souls of women and men who will die now from a lack in the thousands of preventative breast cancer, cervical, uterine, ovarian, testicular and penile screenings that have been provided yearly by Planned Parenthood clinics.
In most states and cities, there aren’t any other healthcare clinics that take Medicaid and are set up to test patients for these diseases which are curable at an early stage.
And don’t try to tell me that the fake ‘pregnancy crisis centers’ that Republican have poured hundreds of millions into, will take up the work of providing actual medical screenings for cancers and sexually transmitted diseases that left untreated will kill women and men.
These fake health care clinics are not actually manned by medical professionals. They don’t even do real ultrasounds on the frightened women who come through their doors trying to confirm whether or not they are pregnant.
All they do, is try to convince women not to get abortions and offer them free diapers and baby formula.
That won’t help the women who have a lump in their breast or a deadly cancer growing in their cervix.
But Donald Trump doesn’t give a rat’s ass about American women, men and even children dying. He’s already presided over the needless deaths of 320,000 ‘saveable’ human beings in Africa - mostly children - after he abruptly cut off all funding to the lifesaving USAID agency.
Do you think he’s lost one second of sleep over that ongoing massacre? NOPE.
Just like Genghis Khan, who slept well after every vicious slaughter, Trump will revel in his own power over Americans - no matter what price his ‘subjects’ pay.
He will revel because he will have succeeded in delivering a $300,000 tax cut to himself and his pals who are the wealthiest Americans while those in the lowest income bracket will only get a tax break of $60 and low income seniors, just $10!
Aren’t you glad that the Mar-a- Lago Club members will give Trump a standing ovation for making them even richer? They don’t give a rat’s ass either that their $300,000 gift will come out of the hides of hardworking low income Americans who no longer have healthcare.
“Let them eat cake.”
Will Trump’s base of white working class Americans care that they are thrown off Medicaid or their ACA plans, which will no longer get Medicaid funding?
History shows that cult members are willing to give up their own lives and the lives of their children for their leaders.
Like Genghis Khan’s thousands of followers who sacrificed their sons to his killing fields, they will probably be content to just bask along with their dear leader - in his power and glory.
Clearly our work cannot stop. These people have to be pushed out of office. Thank you for your insightful article.
Great article; appropriate comparison!
Don’t stop calling your representatives and senators to let them know they will be sorry if they vote yes on this bill.
After the senate vote, it’s back to the house and a chance for us to stop the madness.
A slim chance, but a chance.
Point out the devastating economic impact of hospital and clinic closures.
They clearly don’t care about human lives, but they may care about all the unemployment that will be filed when hospitals, clinics and nursing homes go under!
The health care economy is 20+% of our national GDP. If it craters, even Wall Street will feel it.
And it WILL crater if they gut Medicaid.
