Trump Blindsides Democrats With Unexpected Move In Shutdown Battle

President Donald Trump flipped the script on Democrats this morning after they attempted to tie government funding to an extension of Obamacare subsidies. What began as an effort by Senate Democrats to corner Republicans during a shutdown fight has now turned into a negotiation that Trump appears to have the upper hand in.

In a fiery post on Truth Social, Trump announced a new proposal that would redirect hundreds of billions in Obamacare subsidy payments away from insurance companies and send them directly to the American people.

“I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE, and have money left over,” Trump wrote.

He continued:

“In other words, take from the BIG, BAD Insurance Companies, give it to the people, and terminate, per Dollar spent, the worst Healthcare anywhere in the World, ObamaCare. Unrelated, we must still terminate the Filibuster!”

The move took Democrats by surprise, who just a day earlier were demanding a one-year extension of Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies as part of a deal to reopen the government. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer framed the proposal as “a reasonable offer that reopens the government, deals with health care affordability and begins a process of negotiating reforms,” but Republicans rejected it outright.
