Sean Hannity agreed, too:

And here’s Laura Ingraham yesterday, with a slight change of attitude:
Need to see details re. how Trump proposes to pay for a new 6-wk maternity benefit. Savings bc those women won't go on disability?

Trump says he’ll pay for the plan but cutting fraud, waste and abuse in the unemployment insurance program, which we’ve heard before from politicians of both parties:
