It’s fine if his rich friends do this VOLUNTARILY but to make it public policy would be more thievery.

“It’s fine if his rich friends do this VOLUNTARILY but to make it public policy would be more thievery”

That’s exactly what he really said voluntarity. He said they should but it was up to them to decide.

Listening to his entire speech, it was clear to me Trump was talking about VOLUNTARY refusal by very rich people to cash the checks.

The thievery has already occurred. By implementing a means test Trump would very publicly be stating that SS is welfare. You only get it if you need it. I like it because it will kill all discussions of SS being earned and a right. SS can then be discussed openly as the welfare income transfer Dimocrat vote buying scheme that it is.

Did I miss the part of the story that said Trump would REQUIRE that Rich People give up the Benefit if he is Elected POTUS? If it isn't Required, it's a Voluntary conscientious choice.

BTW - Trump didn't create SS. You can blame that on FDR, and he isn't Running for POTUS this time around.
