This has been an absolutely disastrous morning for Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans. transparently before the press so that the american people can see what's happening maga mike johnson rejected it and said that he and donald trump and all of the republicans believe doing anything in public is sheer theatrics and we don't want to engage in theatrics we are done speaking with democrats we are done having any further negotiations that's coming from maga mike johnson and donald trump today in response to democrats saying Let's just do this negotiation in public.
What happened at MAGA Mike Johnson's disastrous press conference this morning?
We've always been willing to do that. We need to protect the American people's health care. Let's go back to this disastrous press conference this morning. MAGA Mike Johnson was sent out there, obviously, by Donald Trump, who still is really refusing to hold a press conference and talk publicly about what's going down. And MAGA Mike Johnson looks at the camera and you can see that they are significantly losing money. the information war right now because they are to blame for the government shutdown but maga mike's like when the truth is on your side you have nothing to hide from but he's like but i gotta repeat it over and over and over and over again my lies here play this clip what he says
I say the same things privately that I say publicly. We are consistent. And that's why it's easy for me to stand up here and share the facts. When the simple truth is on your side, you have nothing to hide from. I'm just presenting this to the American people. This is the third, fourth time we've done that. I hate to drag you all out and go through all the details, but I've got to put on the case over and over because repetition apparently is the key to this. People are starting to recognize this is not a Republican shutdown. It is a Schumer Democrat shutdown. Again, why? because they need a political cover. It's shameless. It is sad. Real people are hurting, and it needs to end. They'll have another opportunity this evening, and I sure pray, and I hope you all will, that a handful of additional common sense people on the Democrat side will change their votes, reopen the government, so we can get back to all these issues as we desperately want to do.
Thank you all so much for being here.
So while Magnum Mike is out there doing that, you have Donald Trump posting just out good news for the holiday season. You don't call it Christmas, Donald. Good news for the holiday season. Early prices are down while tariffs are making our country an economic power again. Also, virtually no inflation as stock markets continually hit record highs. The best of all worlds for the U.S.A., Do you think prices are down when you go grocery shopping, when you go to stores? Do you go, the prices are down? Do you think things are affordable? Do you think Donald Trump spiking the football and saying this is a golden age for you is accurate? Or do you believe like his entire life he's one gigantic fraud? Dude lies about absolutely everything.
Going back to this MAGA Mike disastrous presser from this morning, MAGA Mike is asked a question about healthcare, about what Democrats are saying that if we don't address the Affordable Care Act subsidies now, people's premiums are about to go up three, four, five times per month, which would lead to medical bankruptcies. Watch what MAGA Mike Johnson says here. Here, play this clip.
Yeah, they've been saying that some of the insurance companies will be sending out notices in early November. The last time I checked, it's October 6th. We have the entire month of October. We'll stay here around the clock to work through all these things, but we have to get government open again to do it. Again, they're trying to obscure the issue. We are talking about a simple funding measure that the Democrats themselves have voted on over and over and over.
