Empathy of a rock or not unless he wants every baby boomer and silent generation-er in all of Florida pissed off with him he'd better think twice. Not to mention the generation X-ers are watching. I would think he'd want to keep us nice and red for the upcoming election.

If they are dumb enough to re-elect him in November, I guarantee you the cuts will be announced in October.

And I can guarantee our taxes that we pay for something that might not be there when we retire won't go down. Not by so much as a penny. They'll increase. I'll put my future first months social security payment on it.

The administration has already tightened requirements to SSI (Social Security Disability).

This was a new statement that referenced Social Security and Medicare program cuts made when asked about these programs while in Davos, Switzerland.
Trump appeared to express a new openness to revamping entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare in an interview aired Wednesday morning, potentially opening the door to overhauling two of the country’s largest government programs if he is elected to a second term.

Speaking with CNBC from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Trump said tackling entitlement spending is “the easiest of all things” and seemed to suggest higher economic growth would make it simpler to cut spending on those programs.

“At the right time, we will take a look at that. You know, that’s actually the easiest of all things, if you look,” Trump said. He later added when asked about entitlements: “Well, we’re going — we’re going to look. We also have assets that we’ve never had. I mean, we’ve never had growth like this.”

SSI is Supplemental Security Income. It's not funded through SS. SSDI is Social Security Disability Insurance. It is funded through SS. There's a difference.

But I'm still the winner! They lied! They cheated! They stole the election!

Well, the rule of thumb is to believe nothing that comes out from Trump’s mouth. Or fingers.
The guy wouldn’t know the truth if it was a 27 year old girl giving him a lap dance.

Hell, no. I’m actually squeezing my memory trying to remember one time when he has been honest and truthful. Besides the time when he said that he could commit murder in the middle of the street and his followers would still vote for him, I can’t think of a single, measly time when he said something that was actually true... maybe that other time when he said that if Ivanka wasn’t his daughter, he’d be nailing her 🤷‍♀️

Ya know if Congress removed the ceiling for contribution and made billionaires contribute to social security completely like the rest of us 99%ers, social security would be fully funded, immediately.
