President Donald Trump has insisted that he will not cut Social Security benefits.

Speaking to Fox News' Sean Hannity on Tuesday, Trump said: "Look, Social Security won't be touched, other than if there's fraud or something. It's going to be strengthened. But it won't be touched."

He also vowed there would be not cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. "None of that stuff is going to be touched," he said.

But he added: "Now, if there are illegal migrants in the system, we're going to get them out."

1. Donald Trump, "I will not cut social security benefits. I will leave that to Congress."

[Miguelito Loveless]

16. No, he intends to manage the cuts personally

by simply calling it fraud.

[IronLionZion]

2. They'll just declare us all illegal migrants, frauds, waste, abuse, 150 years old, etc.

without any evidence whatsoever. Accuracy is the lowest priority for these stable geniuses hired for their impeccable qualifications and merit.

3. Wrong you fucking liar.......................

your RWers in congress is doing your bidding. Stop blaming immigrants.

[durablend]

4. Um, you are wrong of course (technically)

It's the illegal immigrant non-government person that's doing his bidding.

[mahina]

12. Both

[uncle ray]

5. ...or something.

whatever, cock knob.

[William Seger]

6. And how does HE know what Musk will do next?

Who does he think he's kidding?

[Walleye]

7. Who determines whether it's fraud or not, that's the question

[IronLionZion]

13. Anything Muskrat doesn't like is fraud

the real question is who is going to hold these A-holes accountable?

[Walleye]

14. Right now, I don't see anybody even coming close to holding them accountable.

[kerouac2]

8. Those will be among the last things he destroys.

By that time everything else will be ruined and he will have complete and total power.

[CousinIT]

9. Regardless what bullshit he pulls (and he WILL) there are already THREE backdoor cuts in MAGAt budget:

1. No taxes on social security benefits (these taxes go right back into the Social Security trust fund - so eliminating them IS A CUT to Social Security).
2. No taxes on tips. This would result in a loss of billions of dollars in FICA taxes and IS a cut to Social Security and Medicare.
3. No taxes on overtime. See #2.

Also, SHitler (what I call Trump) is claiming HE isn't the one destroying our civil service and government agencies. ELON MUSK is doing it? SHitler distances himself from a lot of it and he just tried to claim that Elon Musk isn't part of "DOGE" and that Elon Musk isn't running "DOGE" and isn't the one destroying our government agencies, firing all of our civil servants and STEALING all of our personally sensitive data.

So whatever SHitler says is BULLSHIT. He's a criminal and a fucking liar.

[valleyrogue]

10. So far he and Eloon haven't touched mine. n/t

[Walleye]

15. So far

[twodogsbarking]

11. He's lying; like always.

As the wind blows.

18. felon hasn't told the truth about anything else

why should we believe him about SS, Medicare, and Medicaid? He'll do what he wants. Even if none of these programs are cut, he'll threaten cuts whenever he wants attention. And as another poster points out, felon doesn't know what dud is doing. I wouldn't let either of them work on my car, or tell them where my penny bank is.
