Trump And Social Security

Former President Donald Trump has been inconsistent with his messaging around Social Security and his ideas for the plan’s future. During a March interview with CNBC, Trump said that “cutting” could keep the Social Security program for retirement-age folks solvent.

Shortly after the CNBC interview, Trump told Breitbart that he had no plans to make cuts to Social Security.

“I will never do anything that will jeopardize or hurt Social Security or Medicare,” Trump told the news outlet.

Trump did not outline a plan to keep the Social Security program solvent. Trump blasted his last primary rival, Nikki Haley, for indicating her willingness to raise the retirement age for today’s younger workers. On his campaign website, he promises to “protect” Social Security and insists he won’t cut benefits or otherwise change the program if reelected.

Perhaps we can levy an excise tax on tampons in boys' restrooms, that'll fix everything.
