Trump's executive order does not appear to include "protections or guarantees that the Social Security Trust Fund will be made whole."

False. It's a "holiday" not a cancellation of the tax, not a cut, not a rebate, just a deferment of debt owed. The order even mentions the need for future legislation to "forgive" the money owed from the holiday.

Everyone, probably Trump included, saw this boring Soc Sec attack line coming.

You can explain it however you like, but creating a controversy where it’s necessary to explain to people why they shouldn’t be afraid, is not smart politics, in my opinion

(especially when you have to resort to bureaucratic euphemisms and hair-splitting like “holiday”, as if that’s going to reassure the blue collar social security recipients in DesMoines or Dubuque)
