President Trump Makes A Promise To The American People

We desperately need to end Social Security. I just want to say that before we even begin.

It doesn’t work. No system where its participants must choose between eating food and acquiring medicine works.

Moreover, we are forced to pay into these failing programs. Forced is not at all the same as voluntary.

Social welfare spending is roughly triple the size of the entire military budget, and the military budget isn’t even the single biggest line item in the budget—the interest on the national debt is.

President Trump recently came under fire for allegedly claiming he would cut social welfare spending—something that desperately needs to be done.

Leftists and the Biden administration falsely accused him of saying he wanted to cut Social Security and Medicare, but the former President never said he would cut these specific programs.

I wish he would, but he just didn’t say it and has since come out to clarify that the spending cuts would not affect Social Security or Medicare.

In fact, the former President came out to promise that he wouldn’t cut these programs while in office and would find other ways to cut federal spending.

The Hill provided this statement from the former President: “I will never do anything that will jeopardize or hurt Social Security or Medicare. We’ll have to do it elsewhere.”

Breitbart spoke with President Trump, who clarified:

“There’s so many things we can do,” Trump said. “There’s so much cutting and so much waste in so many other areas, but I’ll never do anything to hurt Social Security.”

Kari Lake stated: “Like President Trump, I will always protect your Social Security and Medicare. We won’t solve our deficit problem by punishing our retirees. We must focus on stopping the out-of-control spending in Washington DC.”

President Biden visited New Hampshire on Monday as part of his 2024 campaign. He pushed his plans to lower health care costs and criticized his rival, former President Donald Trump, for suggesting cuts to entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare. pic.twitter.com/HEJm3AUPMd

The Epoch Times presented the initial statement that President Trump came under fire for:

“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.

There’s tremendous amounts of things and numbers of things you can do,” President Trump replied. “So I don’t necessarily agree with the statement.

I know that they’re going to end up weakening social security because the country is weak.”
