Even Conservatives Say Trump’s New Initiative Is “Creepy And Weird”

The Trump administration has come up with a new initiative that has left even conservatives calling it “creepy and weird.” The plan from the administration is to incentivize people to have more babies by offering women $5,000 and even presenting “Medals of Motherhood” to women who have six or more babies. This is beyond absurd and quite intrusive and disgusting, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

By now, I'm sure everybody has seen those recent reports talking about how Elon Musk allegedly was paying women, offering them a couple million dollars to bear his children. Uh, because the man is very creepily obsessed with making sure women have enough babies and increasing the birth rates. And by God, if he's gotta do it single handedly, he'll pay every woman on the planet to do so, right? Well, apparently the Trump administration kinda likes this idea. So there is as of this moment a plan floating around the White House to incentivize women in the United States to have more babies, including the possibility of paying women $5,000 to get pregnant, because that's all women are to these people. By the way. You're not a person, you're not a human being with thoughts and feelings and ideas and rights. You're a baby making machine. We just gotta put the batter in there, and then nine months later, boom, you spit out the finished product.

That is how this administration views women paying them to essentially become chattel so that they can just birth a baby to increase the birth rates, because apparently that's something they're super concerned about, even though it really is not impacting anything. But this plan, which also by the way, includes giving out medals of motherhood to women who birth more than six children. So yeah, you could get five grand a kid and a medal of motherhood to show that, Hey, we appreciate the fact that you're just a baby making machine, not a human being, a baby making machine. Well, this plan is so quote, weird and creepy, that even conservatives are starting to think there may be something wrong with these people. One of those critics is Washington Post's, Ramesh Pru, and during an appearance on CNN opposite host Dana Bash, Ramesh had this to say, my view on this has been that surveys for decades have shown that Americans would like to have more kids and they, than they end up having.

And so the, the thing that we need to be looking at as policymakers or people who are interested in this, which is creepy enough, is how do we remove the obstacles that are keeping people from achieving their goals for their families, not trying to change their minds or socially engineer an outcome for them, which starts to look frankly weird and creepy. And I think that this thing about, you know, the mother of the year, it sounds like something that would've come out of, uh, uh, Romania and not something that is going to go over well in America. Something that is not going to move the culture in a more pro child direction, but again, make it look weird. Now, anybody who is

Obsessed with whether or not everybody else is having babies is a creep. Like J let's just get that outta the way. Whether or not any other human being on the planet decides to have a child is none of your business. Oh, but the birth rates, if you care about the birth rates, please explain to me why that is such a big deal. Birth rates are going down, sure, but does it matter? Does it matter in the grand scheme of things? Are we gonna run out of people? No, we're not. The only people concerned about it are the people who say, well, the businesses may not have workers, because that's what you want. The women are the baby maker machines, and then the babies become the loyal little workers. That's what this is. This is an assembly line to go work on the assembly lines.
