The Village Daily News reported Monday night the president would be arriving Tuesday to the south Florida community that overwhelming voted for him. Nearly 70 percent of residents in the homogeneous community of retirees voted for him in 2016. There’s even a dedicated Villagers for Trump groupwith its’ own 'Trump Prayer Line" Monday through Friday.
Suffice it to say, it will be different from Trump’s Orlando visit that kicked off his 2020 campaign in June. His foray into Central Florida’s liberal enclave brought out a strong presence of counter protesters. It’s not clear what Trump will say on Medicare, though the president signed the 'Medicaid Services Investment and Accountability Act of 2019” in April, which in part contained provisions extending protections for medicaid recipients, including penalties on manufacturers that misclassify drugs.
