“Donald Trump lied when he pledged he would not cut Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid. Not only does Trumpcare cut over $800 billion from Medicaid in order to cut taxes for the wealthy, but now, Secretary Mnuchin is opening the door to Social Security cuts. This is just further proof that all of Trump’s ‘populist’ promises were lies – and in reality, he’s hell-bent on selling out the middle class in order to rig the economy even more for the rich,” said American Bridge spokesperson Andrew Bates.

All these other people want to cut the hell out of it. I’m not going to cut it at all; I’m going to bring money in, and we’re going to save it….Save Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security without cuts. Have to do it.”
