Twitter reacts to Trump saying he's open to cuts in Medicare and other entitlement programs

After making protecting Medicare, Social Security and other social programs important campaign tentpoles during his 2016 presidential campaign, President Donald Trump said during a CNBC interview with Joe Kernen on Wednesday that he'd be open to cutting funds to such programs in the future.

"You know, that's actually the easiest thing of all things, if you look. Because it's such a big percentage.""We also have assets we've never had. We've never had growth like this, we've never had a consumer that was taking in through different means, over $10,000 a family. We've never had the kind of things we have," he concluded.

You should mind your words. Social Security is NOT an entitlement. Stop! I have been paying into it for almost 50 years. If they are going to to get rid of it I want all my money back with interest!

It too expensive theft from it from soros etc trump is serious problems, with fraud he done. Poor business man. I do not like him at all.

His mouth-breathing, masochistic supporters will see this as just another sign of his “love” for them.

Would Trump be opened to paying for all of his golf trips and ALL of the expenses that go along with it? That will help offset proposed cuts to Medicare.
