"We're fighting wars," Trump told an audience at a White House Easter lunch on Wednesday, as seen in a video posted on and then removed from the White House's website. "We can't take care of day care."

"I hope we get to it," the president said of ending federal funds for child care. "We can balance the budget. We can have a surplus if you can stop that. And that does not include Medicare, Medicaid—that's even bigger."
Referring to Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought, Trump added: "I said to Russell, 'Don't send any money for day care because the United States can't take care of day care.' That has to be up to a state. We can't take care of day care. We're a big country. We have 50 states. We have all these other people. We're fighting wars.
"We can't take care of day care. You got to let a state take care of day care. And they should pay for it, too. They should pay. They'll have to raise their taxes, but they should pay for it. And we could lower our taxes a little bit to them to make up. It's not possible for us to take care of day care, Medicaid, Medicare—all these individual things.
"They can do it on a state basis. You can't do it on a federal. We have to take care of one thing: military protection. We have to guard the country."

EXCERPT
Yeah, he said it. The White House posted the video and then yanked it down but it was too late.
What a great way to self-destruct one's administration and hand Congress over on a platter to Jeffries and Schumer in November.
Damned fool.
