Can Trump Be Trusted With Social Security?

WASHINGTON ― Former president Donald Trump seemed to suggest he favored cutting retirement programs such as Social Security and Medicare in a rambling answer he gave during a TV interview on Monday.

CNBC’s Joe Kernan asked Trump, who has previously said he opposes cutting so-called entitlement spending, if he had changed his outlook given the ballooning national debt.

“So first of all, there is a lot you can do in terms of entitlements, in terms of cutting, and in terms of also the theft and the bad management of entitlements, tremendous bad management of entitlements,” Trump said. “There’s tremendous amounts of things and numbers of things you can do.”

It’s not clear what Trump meant by “cutting” or by “theft” or by “bad management of entitlements.” His answer continued for several more minutes and ranged across several other topics, including COVID and ISIS. Kernan’s next questions were about Bitcoin.
White House spokesman Andrew Bates seized on Trump’s remarks.

“As the President just warned in his State of the Union address, Republican officials plan to cut Medicare and Social Security,” Bates said in a statement blasted out to reporters. “Cutting the Medicare and Social Security benefits that Americans have paid to earn their whole lives ― only to make room for yet more unaffordable, trickle down tax giveaways to the super wealthy ― is exactly backwards.”

Social Security and Medicare are both solvent through the early 2030s, according to the Social Security Administration. In 2033, reserves will deplete and incoming tax revenue will cover only 77% of Social Security benefits.

This should scare everyone on Social Security and Medicare! We have heard many warnings from Republicans in Congress that they favor cutting Social Security and Medicare! We've been sufficiently warned. These are programs that workers have paid into their entire working lives. What do you think?
Stop this crap. There is nothing wrong with Trump. The only thing Trump did wrong was win two elections.
 
More bullshit from the Democrat liars that run the government, that work at CNN, that are the Huffington Post

Make a law saying politicians and the news media can not lie, and that would silence CNN and the Huffington Post.

Anyone notice we never get to see the complete unedited transcripts

Really? You should be more aware and informed about the reality of these warnings. We've been warned many times that Republicans want to privatize and cut Social Security and Medicare.

You don't have to cut benefits to cut costs and waste of a bloated program... I wouldn't expect you to know that....
In fact if done right you could cut waste and increase benefits...

If true, point to the legislation they introduced to cut either program

Just cause you lying democrats make an accusation, issue a warning, or file a charge, does not make it true, even with a google link.

morons!
 
I have noticed how you simply say things but do not prove any of them. Apparently you think we are running out of oil. Biden has only had any improvements because he has had to obey court orders. His policies cut back producing oil. He tells you all the time. Just believe him.
From the eia link I provided, we imported 7,222 mdb the week ending on March 1st. In that very link, you can see during that same week we exported 4,637 mbd, for a negative export of crude oil of -1935 mbd. That trend goes back to before Kennedy was president.

Oil production in the US slowed down in 2020, and it started before Biden was the nominee. It has rebounded under Biden to record levels.

I read that as you trying to hand credit to Biden. Why not be honest and say under Americans production did this or did that? Biden did his best to put a stop to oil increasing. And it was thanks to courts he was stopped.

Does Biden want the USA to switch to electric cars? Sure he does. His policy is not to make oil more plentiful as a fuel supply.
 

Hard to tell what he talking about CUTTING here but it doesn’t sound good.

Do you trust him?
This asshole can't even be trusted to run a legitimate business in the state of New York.
He doesn't understand shit about money.
He isn't qualified to hold office.
Don't listen to a word he says....about anything.
He's just a nattering old man-child making noise.

Let's get something corrected. First I have favored electric cars since I was a Freshman in College in 1957. I am not in love with the ICE. I appreciate it however. But I am very anti the heavy batteries currently used to power the EVS of today. I have proposed other soulutions. Such as using raw hydrogen or alternatively using water and pulling out the electrons and we are home free. Lithium Ion batteries have killed people when the cars catch fire. Even Airplanes I trained in to be a pilot use petroleum. EV batteries can't be used in airplanes as the power source.

Trump's main fault is he talks just like democrats talk. And he disgusts them as much as Democrats disgust me.

When the rabid right claimed that Trumpybear made us energy independent did you believe that or did you say American production did that? Biden policies didn't slow down production at all.

Oh fuck that.

Trump talks like Trump and you talk like a cultist
