President Donald Trump’s reported plans to slash $40 billion from the Department of Health and Human Services sent MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow into a ferocious takedown of his MAGA administration’s new efforts.The primetime host spent the opening minutes of her Wednesday evening show by highlighting the growing backlash to Trump’s policies across the country before flagging reports surrounding his proposal to gut “fully a third of what the United States spends on health care and research.”“Trump wants to cut all of the CDC’s work, for example, on heart disease and obesity and diabetes and smoking and HIV,” Maddow said. “You think that might galvanize people in this country?”Maddow stressed to viewers that Trump’s plan isn’t to trim or make the program more efficient, but to eliminate work on the diseases afflicting millions of Americans altogether.ALSO READ: ‘Retribution or bust’: ‘Secretary of Retribution’ joins J6 leaders to demand mass arrests“Yeah, because it’s not like any of us know anybody who has any one of those issues, right? No one within the sound of my voice right now has any connection to anyone with heart disease, right?” the MSNBC host said as she ripped into Trump. “Have you ever even heard of that? Heart disease? Does that sound like a foreign concept?”She added: “I mean, Americans will sure be glad that Donald Trump forced the United States of America to stop working on heart disease altogether, because, yeah, none of us have ever heard of anybody having a heart attack, right? None of us have anybody in our families or anybody we’re connected to who’s got problems with cholesterol or high blood pressure, right? That’s really exotic stuff, right?”Maddow concluded her sarcastic takedown by proclaiming: “Thank God Donald Trump is going to save us from the waste of the U.S. government working on those woke liberal problems like diabetes.”Watch the video below via MSNBC or at the link here.
