Donald Trump warned Tuesday that if the Democrats don’t approve funding, there are dangers to the future of Social Security and Medicare.
Trump said at a press conference that when he asked Democrats for feedback on the funding bills, one said, “It means death.”
“There’s nothing about death,” Trump said. “Theirs is death because they’re going to lose Medicaid, they’re going to lose Social Security, they’re going to lose Medicare, all of those things are going to be gone because the whole country would be bankrupt, and you’re not going to have any kind of medical insurance.”



It’s actually from the Cold War.
1st world = USA, NATO, and their allies. 2nd world = USSR, the Eastern Bloc and their allies (the 2nd world doesn’t really exist anymore). 3rd world = anyone not in the 1st or 2nd categories.
You are right though it’s not about any real statistics. It’s about political alignment.
Yep, right, which kind of also inherently excludes most non-white countries from the top two tiers.
Whether it was intentional or not, it definitely didn’t help the image of non-white countries.
