“Donald Trump told America that he wouldn’t touch Social Security. He lied. By mass firing the Social Security workforce and shuttering critical field offices, where more than 100,000 Americans visit in person each workday.

Trump and his shadow president Elon Musk are dismantling Social Security brick by brick. Every person in this country should be alarmed right now. America’s grandparents depend on Social Security, and they deserve better than Donald Trump.

Trump: “We are talking about- we are talking about theft, abuse, fraud. I said, no, we’re not talking Social Security, other than we might make it more efficient, but the people will get what they get.”

Trump has a record of trying to gut Social Security every year during his first term in office and is pledging cuts in a second term.

(In October, 2024) Washington Post: “Trump proposals could drain Social Security in 6 years, budget group says”

(In February, 2023) Washington Post: “His avowed stance, however, is at odds with Trump’s own record as president: Each of his White House budget proposals included cuts to Social Security and Medicare programs.”

(In March, 2019) Vox: “Trump said he wouldn’t cut Medicaid, Social Security, and Medicare. His 2020 budget cuts all 3.”

(In January, 2020) National Review: “Speaking with CNBC at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Trump was asked whether he would cut entitlements at some point. ‘Will entitlements ever be on your plate?’ asked interviewer Joe Kernen. ‘At some point they will be,’ Trump responded. ‘At the right time, we will take a look at that. You know, that’s the easiest of all things [to cut].’”

(In March, 2020) Mediaite: “During a Fox News town hall, President Donald Trump promised to cut entitlements like Medicare and Social Security if he were to win a second term. … ‘But if you don’t cut something in entitlements, you will never really deal with the debt,’ town hall co-moderator Martha MacCallum interjected, alluding to social safety programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. ‘Oh, we’ll be cutting,’ Trump rushed to confirm.”
