Trump Is Already Reneging On His ‘No Tax On Social Security’ Promise
Trump is already reneging on one of the promises he repeatedly made to a key voting bloc to win back the presidency, his vow to eliminate taxes on millions of retirees’ Social Security payments.
“No tax on Social Security benefits for our seniors,” he told rallygoers in Prescott Valley, Arizona, on Oct. 13. “And you deserve it.”
In reality, though, Trump and his congressional allies are offering Social Security recipients a mere fraction of the financial benefit they have been promising since last year. Instead of making Social Security benefits tax-free, House Republicans have now included in their spending and tax cut plan a new $4,000 tax deduction for seniors — which translates into an actual cash benefit of less than $500 for most retirees.

The only retirees who could possibly benefit more from the new $4,000 tax deduction than they would have from Trump’s original promise are those who collect little or nothing from Social Security to begin with.

He won't deliver on any of those promises and the MAGA will twist and contort until they're adamant that he never, ever promised any of it and that it's just the fake news reporting lies to damage Trump and all the videos of him making the promises are AI and fake.

Maybe he’ll demand that Walmart provide senior discounts.

Regarding no taxes on Social Security, Trump will simply tell recipients to "EAT IT!"
