“I’m not going to cut Social Security like every other Republican and I’m not going to cut Medicare or Medicaid,” Donald Trump declared in 2015. “Every other Republican’s going to cut, and even if they wouldn’t, they don’t know what to do because they don’t know where the money is. I do. I do.”
Four years later, the president is, in fact, proposing deep cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. As the New York Times reported, Trump’s newly proposed budget completes the trifecta by targeting Social Security, too. As we discussed earlier, the problem with a proposal like this one isn’t necessarily practical: with a Democratic-led U.S. House, there’s simply no way policymakers will endorse the White House’s budget blueprint or enact the cuts Trump supports.
It’s also a policy failure: a whole lot of us predicted that the president and his allies would go after popular social-insurance programs – often referred to as “entitlements” – as a way to help pay for the Republican tax breaks for the wealthy. With his new budget plan, Trump is helping prove the point.
Now the poor that voted for him to make America great again will feel the pain
I am terrified of Trump and the Republican party over Social Security Medicare and Medicaid programs massive cuts including disability benefits😬Thank God the Democrats are back in charge and won't allow the Republicans and Trump to make these cuts in benefits!
What has Social security got to do with anything? Or stealing from Medicare and Medicaid for that matter. Trump is pandering to the Ryan right to keep them from turning on him.
I will sue the government ... that is our own money that we made and not yours to keep! Whom ever gave permission to tap in to the public's social security is wrong and we want our money back ....YOU CAN'T TAKE OR BORROW OUR MONEY! AND PAY BACK WHAT YOU ALREADY STOLE.
Congratulations all you Seniors who voted for him & those who continue to support the orange💩
A guaranteed way into the hearts of working people is to play around with their financial security. Even the Trumpiest of them don't want to starve and do without medical care.
Why should he care about us when he's so rich
He promised to leave our entitlements alone, yet he's here, and tryin' to get at Em'! Doesn't anybody else mind getting lied to all the time ? ? ? Of all things, a president should be honest ! Lies, lies. & more fckin' lies !

There’s a big feast going on for the 1% - perhaps you weren’t invited?
hopeclever wrote 'Remember when MSNBC told the truth? No they never did!', so the video's that show Trump stating that he would never cut Social Security, Medicare & Medicade were cut & edited up by MSNBC and others just so that they can prove he lied. Open your eyes & ears?
I told everyone in 2016 that Trump would be cutting all social programs so he could use the money to make himself, his family, and his cronies richer. Hate to say it, but 'I told you so.'
As the rich get richer
You knew Drumpf couldn't pass up a chance to take other people's money.
GaladrielResist Cut SS and Medicaid and he’s cutting off his base.
Wow! Trump really Is a Republican at 💓!
Hey MSNBC, Report on the real collusion. DNC made the fake dossier and you know it. You have zero pride in your jobs because of lack of morals. Redeem your lives before you all go to hell. MSNBC propaganda is worse than Pravda and Goebbles.
Alzheimer's?
fenwayfruitgirl Treasonous Trump IS A VILE HUMAN BEING!!
Did he do anything honestly for the people? Don't tell me taxes, I am on Social Security. Medicare pays 80%, I have to carry supplemental for next 20, have to pay part D and in two months in the donut hole. One way to meet his budget, kill off the sick and elderly. BeingReal
And he talks about protecting our citizens....still a liar... no character...no morals

realDonaldTrump ARE YOU AWARE that we as taxpaying Americans pay into Social Security and Medicare? I've been paying into SS since I was a teenager (15). Also, Medicare. I pay over $100 a month into Medicare now plus I have private insurance I pay much more for.
Seems Democrats voted aganist cost of living increase!
Everyone will pay a price for this abomination.
Back to the social security scare. The election cycle is here.
What a Champion for the people! This P.O.S. would be the fist on a lifeboat pushing women and children aside!
Steve Venum!!
Listen here Trump supporters. Trump wants to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. These are programs that effect you too. Al this was done so Trump could give a large tax cut to his wealthy friends. He claimed the tax cut would benefit the middle class but it is wrong.
When you are numb from the neck up it is easy to have no memory of anything. Especially promises like I won't touch social security, or Mexico will pay for the wall. Just minor details.
Ugggh
Another campaign lie!
Privatizing the entire social safety net has been the R's wet dream for decades. Hell, the entire govt for that matter...Why do you think every one of trump's cabinet heads are destroying their agencies from within? $$$$$
Who knew?
How much fraud and dead people are collecting social security, thats what hes going after. Report the facts
USA NASA USA FEDERAL. USA. FEDERAL JUDGE FEDERAL COURT JUDGE USA CIA...FBI.. AMERICAN CANTRIY. DONALD VLADIMIR PUTIN HE DON'T KNOW YOU ON AMERICAN NATIONAL EMERGENCY
Remember when MSNBC told the truth? No they never did!
Can you show all the actual cuts proposed?
Troll.
He only forgets & gets mixed up from his told lies, as about every word might be a lie of forgetness of truths!!
What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive
Promises made, promises kept...only the ones he wants you to remember!
President Trump does not have control of the purse the Democrats in Congress do....Duh to the stupid about our Gov't and how it works.
He didn’t forget It was another LIE.
Obama drove the nail in the SS coffin... and it's up to Congress to fix it.
Remember when NBCNews and were credible news organizations? Me either.
So Willie, why do you rob banks? Because that’s where the money is.
Just for the richkids. Abusive techies can go buy out mom and grandma’s home. THEY NEED THE MONEY.
Awwwww what happened to Russian Collusion 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Remember when Maddow was caught changing information to fit her rant?
Only a damn fool believes anything realDonaldTrump says. He'll say whatever he has to in order to get what he wants in the moment.
Should we believe our own eyes and our own ears! Or a liar? Trump on Putin: 'I've never met him, I don't know who he is' I have nothing to do with Russia, No deals, No NOTHING! Trump says It's FAKE NEWS,,, uhm,
Remember when MSNBC pretended to not be democrat propaganda?
I hate tRump.
