Next he wants to cut Social Security and Medicare....something his followers depend on the most.
How Trump ends Social Security
Want to end Social Security? Just vote for Donald Trump or pretty much any Republican this fall.
Every year that Donald Trump was president he proposed budgets that would have cut Social Security funding and benefits; in 2020 he even campaigned on ending the payroll tax — that funds it and Medicare — altogether.
The Republican Study Committee, which claims 175 of the House’s 219 Republican members of Congress, released their annual budget proposals last summer, and, sure to form, they also called for the setup of draconian cuts to Social Security.
Weirdly, the title of the section of their budget that cuts Social Security is titled Preventing Biden’s Cuts to Social Security. If you’re baffled by that because Biden has never called for cuts to Social Security, you live in the reality-based world.
But in RightWingLand, Social Security is on the verge of collapse and so needs to be gutted for young people. Their budget notes:
Similarly, Project 2025, the nearly-900-page rightwing blueprint for gutting the American middle class, ending voting rights, imposing Christianity on all Americans, killing public schools, and ending women’s abortion and birth control rights also has Social Security in its crosshairs.
Shows how bad Biden is when the country chooses Trump over him.
