I wish that Trump would stop saying “no tax on Social Security.” Any reduction in taxes for seniors would be seen as a positive, but not if they have been promised that they would pay NO TAXES.
We lost seats in the midterms in 2018 because of something about the deductibility of the SALT tax. This time a lot of people are going to be angry when they find out that their Social Security will still be taxed even if not as much as before.
A $6000 deduction in income, if someone is in a 20% tax bracket, is a $1200 deduction in taxes. Trump knows the difference. He needs to start explaining to people why he could not do the full “no taxes on Social Security” instead of over promising something that will not happen.

But they won’t
Trump showed us that the congress was at the helm of this
That explanation is: “We have a crud Republican-controlled Congress.”
