Breitbart:
President Donald Trump appears to understand the challenge of entitlement programs better than almost any of the experts or the media covering them.
And he appears to understand that the only way we are going to “fix” entitlements is to keep American prosperity thriving.
This is so far outside the way many corporate media reporters and pundits have been taught to think about entitlements that they regularly assume that Trump is secretly plotting to cut Social Security and Medicare–even though he has said he would not. On Wednesday, for example, the Washington Post declared in a headline that “Trump appears open to overhauling Social Security and Medicare, in break from 2016 campaign pledge.”
That makes it sound like Trump is planning to cut Social Security and Medicare. After all, that is what he promised not to do.
The Associated Press was even worse. “President Donald Trump appeared to suggest in a television interview Wednesday that he’s willing to consider entitlement cuts in the future, a move that would mark a tectonic shift from his stance during his 2016 run for the White House.”
Fortunately, that’s not true. The actual Washington Post story admits that the Post just did not understand Trump. more
Leftists are always attributing something to Trump he did not say, it’s their main way of making afraid of him.
It’s outright lying, and they know they are doing it.
But, in the end, lies never produce a good result.
I’m all for cutting social security…from immigrants who never gave to it!
Thanks Jimma Carter…

Wrong thread?
We’re 23 TRILLION in debt. Government has to cut spending someplace other than SS and Medicare. The communists in the media will absolutely destroy the president, either party, who gets our budget under control. Probably one half of what the government spends money on is fraud, waste, and abuse.
