Hear the 11-Minute Republican U.S. Senator’s Speech That Destroys Trump
1 July 2025, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)
The Republican U.S. Senator from North Carolina Thom Tillis delivered in the U.S. Senate on June 30th a speech that all Americans need to hear because it exposes like a bleeding wound in Trump’s heart — Trump’s budget-and-tax bill that Trump is determined to sign into law on July 4th — devastating facts about that bill, facts that struck Tillis so deeply that Trump forced Tillis to not run for re-election. Trump was so deeply hurt by what Tillis exposed to the public about that bill in this 11-minute speech, he forced Tillis out of the Senate; and, so, here is that speech, and I think that everyone should publicize it to the nation:

“Sen. Thom Tillis’ fiery speech condemning his own party’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’”
When Tillis said there that Trump in this bill is violating his campaign promise and his promise as the Presidend, that this “Big Beautiful Bill” would NOT at all cut Medicaid, wouldn’t even “touch it,” HERE is an example of Trump’s statements on this saying that:

A reader-comment today to a Yahoo News report about Trump’s demanding to cut Medicaid was
George
So every one of you Medicaid recipients who voted for Trump can congratulate Trump and every MAGA member of Congress for either stripping you of health care or making it more difficult to qualify while these guys you voted for have 100% coverage that costs them nothing for life. The money they’re ripping from you is going to help pay for a tax break to people like Amazon owner Jeff Bezos, who just spent $50 million on his wedding reception. Make America Great Again for the billionaires by taking from the poor and disabled.
However, Tillis, as a Republican, actually WANTS cuts to Medicaid (and increases in ‘Defense’ spending — ALL members of Congress want increases in ‘Defense’ — but not such deep cuts as Trump demands in Medicaid), and which cuts Tillis calls (at 2:26) “the devastating consequences” of that.
Tillis’s argument was only that Trump is demanding “devstating” cuts to Medicaid, though he had PROMISED nothing at all like that.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
