Sanders Issues New Trump Warning

Washington, D.C. — Senator Bernie Sanders is raising alarms again, claiming President Donald Trump’s efforts to fix America’s broken health care system could “literally collapse” it.

Appearing on CNN Monday, Sanders repeated the familiar talking points that the system is “broken” — but blamed Trump for “making it far worse.”

“We don’t have enough doctors right now,” Sanders said. “Who in the world is going to want to become a doctor in the midst of all this?”

But conservatives say Sanders’ warning isn’t about saving health care — it’s about saving a broken bureaucracy that Democrats have controlled for decades.

🏛 White House: Democrats Are the Ones Holding America Hostage

The Trump White House quickly hit back at Sanders’ claim. Press Secretary Abigail Jackson said the President’s position is simple and fair:

“Reopen the government with the same bipartisan funding bill Democrats supported just six months ago and 13 times under Joe Biden — and then we can have all the important policy discussions needed.”

The statement echoes what many conservatives have argued: Democrats are weaponizing the shutdown to protect failed Biden-era spending, not to help working Americans.

💬 Trump Speaks Out: ‘Reopen Government FIRST’

President Trump, as usual, went straight to the American people with a message on Truth Social.

“I’m more than willing to work with Democrats on their failed health care ideas—or any issue for that matter—but they need to reopen the government first. They could do it tonight if they wanted to,” Trump said.

Trump’s supporters say he’s showing leadership and discipline — refusing to negotiate until Democrats stop playing games with taxpayer money.

⏰ Shutdown Enters Week Two — Democrats Keep Blocking Clean Funding Bill

The Senate has now allowed the government shutdown to drag into its second week after Democrats blocked the GOP’s clean funding bill for the fifth time.

The measure, which mirrored spending levels supported by Democrats under Biden, failed 52–42 — just eight votes short of advancing.

In a partisan move, Democrats countered with their own bill filled with health care expansions and unrelated spending — and it failed along party lines as well.

⚠️ Conservatives Say Sanders Is Distracting From Real Problem

Many conservatives see Sanders’ comments as pure political theater.

They argue the true threat to America’s health care system isn’t President Trump — it’s the decades of reckless spending, overregulation, and failed Democrat policies that drove costs sky-high and drove doctors out of the field.

Trump’s call for a “clean” reopening of government — before tackling reforms — is seen by many on the Right as common-sense leadership amid Washington chaos.

Bottom Line

While Bernie Sanders warns of “collapse,” President Trump is focused on reopening government, protecting taxpayers, and putting America back on solid footing.

Once again, Democrats are proving that partisan politics come before patients — and before the American people.
