The Truth About Trump’s Stance on Social Security
As the 2024 presidential election draws near, Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz have been raising concerns about former President Donald Trump’s alleged plans to cut Social Security. However, a closer look at the facts reveals a different story.
In her campaign speeches, Harris has repeatedly linked Trump to Project 2025, a conservative policy proposal that includes a range of policies. While some of the authors of the project have ties to the Trump administration, Trump himself has distanced himself from the agenda and has not shown support for cutting Social Security.
Trump’s own policy plan, Agenda47, explicitly states that under no circumstances should Republicans vote to cut Social Security. Additionally, the official Republican Party Platform also calls for protecting Social Security without any cuts or changes to the retirement age.
Despite initial comments in an interview with CNBC suggesting a willingness to make cuts to entitlement programs, Trump later clarified in an interview with Breitbart that he was referring to cutting back on fraud, not Social Security itself.
It is important to separate fact from fiction, especially in the midst of a heated political campaign. The claims made by Harris and Walz about Trump’s intentions regarding Social Security do not align with his stated policies and positions on the issue.
