Ruben Gallego sat down with Ben Meiselas, and the Democratic Arizona Senator didn’t hold back on the obvious. The President’s health, both physical and mental, is an apparent concern. And Trump is saying some really alarming things lately, but his party seems to be going along with it while feigning naivety. As for the government shutdown, Democrats are calling for a solution that protects American families from a healthcare crisis, but the president is missing in action.
“But he said that they’re negotiating,” Meiselas said. “I spoke with Leader Jeffries. I spoke with Leader Schumer. They both did interviews here. We don’t know what he’s talking about.”
“They’re doing no negotiations,” he continued. “They’re not even here. What in the world are they talking about?i mean, that in and of itself should be a major three-alarm fire.”
“I mean, even when Donald Trump is in D.C., he’s not really mentally in D.C.,” Gallego responded. “So we don’t know who to negotiate with. And fact is, we’re getting closer to November 1st. Open enrollment happens then.”
“Donald Trump has never dealt with insurance personally,” he continued. “He’s never bought insurance. He’s never had to go and figure out what insurance rates really are. He’s always had someone doing that for him.”
“And you have Speaker Johnson and Leader Thune that know that,” he said. “So they know how to manipulate this man. They have a goal. They want to destroy the ACA. Russ Vought also is able to manipulate this president, too.”
