Good for Trump. He won in 2016 by promising not to cut these programs that are vital American seniors. The GOP establishment booed him for this stand. They wanted him to promise cuts in these programs, as McCain and Romney did when they got beat by Obama.
When people can’t meet their basic needs for survival and bureaucrats want to cut that even further...something is very wrong.
I know one thing. The definition of poverty has changed, drastically. And even more so under demonrats.
