Trump promises permanent cut to payroll tax funding Social Security and Medicare if he's reelected

Trump pledged on Saturday to pursue a permanent cut to the payroll taxes that fund Social Security and Medicare if he wins reelection in November, a hard-to-accomplish political gambit that some experts see as a major headache for the future of the country’s entitlement programs.

Trump unexpectedly promised the policy action as he signed a directive that aims to help cash-starved Americans amid the coronavirus pandemic. The order allows workers to postpone their payroll tax payments into next year but doesn’t absolve their bills outright — though the president said he would seek to waive what people owe if he prevails on Election Day.

“If I’m victorious on November 3rd, I plan to forgive these taxes and make permanent cuts to the payroll tax,” Trump said at a news conference in Bedminster, N.J. “I’m going to make them all permanent.”

“In other words, I’ll extended beyond the end of the year and terminate the tax,” Trump later added. “And so we’ll see what happens.”

His intent is to kill all of those over 65. Except himself of course.

4. +1000

I would prefer that he die sooner. I honestly wake up every morning hoping to read that he had died in the middle of the night. At this point, I don't even care about him getting his day in court (although I do for his family). I just want him gone forever and the sooner, the better.
