Trump does want to slash SSDI and SSI benefits.
While Trump doesn’t want to reduce Social Security retirement benefits, he included about $45 billion in cuts to Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Insurance (SSI) in his 2021 budget proposal.

Trump has proposed cutting disability benefits by reducing the amount of retroactive benefits a worker can receive from 12 months to six and narrowing the definition of disability. Currently, age can be used as a factor to qualify a worker for disability benefits if they’re at least 50. The administration has suggested increasing the age requirement to 55. Trump has also proposed various changes that would make it harder to receive SSI benefits, which go to low-income families.

Nice find, albeit 2020. I'm really glad to see that, and appreciate your time to research it. It's probably not mentioned by him or anyone much, because cuts to giveaways are often unpopular. But, he needs to support the Republicans in Congress who are trying to reduce the budget during this opportunity by mentioning cuts like this, and more, instead of putting them down for wanting to throw grandma from the cliff, etc. Thanks again.
