Trump floats 'cutting' retirement spending, drawing quick pushback from Biden
The Republican nominee-in-waiting said that “there’s a lot you can do in terms of cutting” when pressed on CNBC about the solvency of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump opened the door Monday to “cutting” spending under Social Security and Medicare, drawing swift pushback from President Joe Biden and elevating a key policy battle in the 2024 election.
Phoning into CNBC's "Squawk Box," Trump was pressed on how he plans to resolve the long-term solvency problems of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
“So first of all, there is a lot you can do in terms of entitlements, in terms of cutting,” Trump responded. “And in terms of, also, the theft and the bad management of entitlements — tremendous bad management of entitlements — there’s tremendous amounts of things and numbers of things you can do.”
And yet the elderly people in this country will still vote for him
They absolutely will. And then several months in it’ll be, “he isn’t hurting the people he needs to be hurting.”
The whole lot of them failing to learn anything from mistakes.
And a shitton of 25-45 year olds.
None of my homies. The idiot across the street probably will. But he isn't down with me.
