Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif) warned "Trump is provoking the folks who depend on the government taking care of them to rise up and strike back. By breaking the covenant between them and the government they've relied on their whole lives he's put them in a desperate situation where their only option is to fight back."
"Just think of the single moms who need money to take care of their children," Waters urged. "The retirees waiting for their Social Security checks to put food on the table. The government employees who depend on their paychecks to support themselves and their families. All of these dispossessed people will rise up to overthrow the tyranny that has cut off the flow of money they expect. It will be like a second civil war."
President Trump rejected Waters' dire predicted and explained "our country has to transition from the road to bankruptcy to the road to prosperity. The federal government has $143 trillion worth of financial obligations. This amounts to more than a million dollars per household. The only sane way out of this predicament is to grow our way out. To do this we must stop the waste, fraud, and abuse that is siphoning away federal revenue. We must also stop spending money on frills we cannot afford."
"This means that employees in government agencies determined to be unnecessary or in numbers deemed to be in excess of what is required to perform required functions have to be taken off the payroll," Trump argued. "They will need to find jobs in the private sector that produce products and services that consumers are willing to buy. Contracts that are being paid by the government for products and services that are not useful will be terminated. Wealth that is currently expended by the government on non-productive activities will be left in the hands of those individuals and businesses where it can generate more prosperity."
"Rather than agitating for some sort of civil uprising Congresswoman Waters ought to be urging her constituents to do their part to save the country from bankruptcy," Trump advised. "Overthrowing the government is harder and more dangerous than getting a job and working for a private business that is serving customers. Contributing to the production of wealth is more useful to society than just consuming the wealth produced by others."

Liberals are always threatening civil war when they don’t get their way.
But I suspect part of the problem is they're using the same long pins to stick them on her, too.
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif) - doesn’t her nephew have a show on Fox?
How is it that people so stupid get voted in to office?
So they want to start a civil war,against the most well armed population on the planet. 🤔 They better think real long and hard about that.
Any chance to take shot at Fox. I can not find any reference to MadMax’s nephew ever working for Fox. Please supply a source for you position.
Any chance to take shot at Fox.
Jesse always mentions, "no relation" when he talks about Maxine. It was meant as humor for anyone familiar with Jesse Waters' program on Fox.
Jesse Watters (with two “T”s)....
Plus he’s very white
That’s insurrection talk.
I postulate that stupid people (such as MadMax) are easier for their handlers to control. Look at Old Slow Joe as another example.
Mad Maxine needs to grasp that it isn’t the government’s mission to ‘take care of you’. If she were literate I’d suggest she read the federalist papers to start on her journey to educate herself about human governments.
Does that stupid woman realize what her chances are of losing very badly in a civil war?
That might be the problem right there.
I get an urge to start a very small civil war every time I see her on TV.
