Donald Trump is coming for your Social Security: How the GOP plans a bait and switch to cut taxes — and pensions
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
I was the first & only potential GOP candidate to state there will be no cuts to Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid. Huckabee copied me.

With Trump's broken-promises AHCA fresh in mind, the above scenario follows the Trump & Ryan pattern of enriching the wealthy at the expense of everyone else.
Trump unequivocally promised not to cut SSC. He carried this claim as a bastion of his purity and loyalty to the people. Anyone who wasn't head over heels in love with their right wing ideology, saw that Trump was a big fat liar. Just so we're clear, Trump was full of ****. Whether or not he understood that, when he got in office the GOP was going to cut SSC, Medicare, and Medicaid, because they don't believe in entitlements, I still think that's beyond Trump's level of political comprehension, and this new GOP plan, will likely be written by the direct beneficiaries to cutting SSC, and given to Trump with a "sign here" bow on top.
Just so we're clear, Trump welched on another campaign promise.
Here's a list of Trump's broken campaign promises,
1. Repeal and replace - Now, maybe we'll repeal and replace at an unspecified date, but right now, Obamacare=BAD and Democrats=Scary! Bad! Sad!
2. Non-interventionism - Now, War with Syria=Patriotism and National Security and every other bull**** talking point the GOP trotted out pre-Second Gulf War
3. Not cutting Medicaid - the AHCA cut Medicaid, and Trump said, "DUHHHRRGGG, Me no understand complicated health care. DUUURHHHGGG"
4. Draining the Swamp - Trump has put too many Goldman Sachs people in his cabinet, allowing Wall St. to run his economy, like they always have.
5. SSC - Now, SSC will surely be cut, affecting seniors livelihoods, and negatively affecting the economy, as it gives more money to the top, who horde it like a dragon hordes a gold stockpile. Seniors need their SSC checks. And they spend their SSC checks, stimulating local economy, generating revenue, and securing other incomes by their spending power.
I'm curious if Trumpers will swallow this continued betrayal. Stockholm syndrome, much?
