Wes Moore criticizes Trump for talking about Medicare cuts

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore called President Trump's recent remarks about federal spending on Medicare and Medicaid "nonsense" during a CBS interview that aired Sunday. Trump said Wednesday at a White House Easter luncheon that the nation cannot afford to fund day care, Medicaid, and Medicare federally because it must prioritize military spending, suggesting states handle these programs instead. Moore argued that no state has the budget capacity to replace federal health care or food assistance programs on its own. The governor, a veteran of the 82nd Airborne Division in Afghanistan, also challenged Trump's handling of the Iran conflict and said the administration lacks a clear strategy to address rising gas prices tied to the war.
