"I said to Russell, Don't send any money for daycare, because the United States can't take care of daycare! That has to be up to a state. We can't take care of daycare."
"We're a big country! We've got 50 states. We have all these other people, we're fighting wars! We can't take care of daycare."
"But it's not possible for us to take care of daycare. Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things."
"Leavitt argued that President Trump was talking about the importance of stopping the scams and rooting out the billions of dollars in fraud in these vital programs."
During a now-deleted Easter event, Trump stated that states should manage daycare funding, implying cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. He emphasized that the federal government cannot handle daycare due to ongoing wars and other responsibilities. His comments sparked controversy and were perceived as a gaffe that could impact midterm campaigns. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Trump, claiming he was addressing fraud in these programs rather than advocating for cuts. The event's video went viral, drawing significant media attention.
