Trump Opens Door to Cuts to Medicare and Other Entitlement Programs

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON — President Trump suggested on Wednesday that he would be willing to consider cuts to social safety-net programs like Medicare to reduce the federal deficit if he wins a second term, an apparent shift from his 2016 campaign promise to protect funding for such entitlements.

The president made the comments on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Despite promises to reduce the federal budget deficit, it has ballooned under Mr. Trump’s watch as a result of sweeping tax cuts and additional government spending.

Asked in an interview with CNBC if cuts to entitlements would ever be on his plate, Mr. Trump answered yes.

“At some point they will be,” Mr. Trump said, before pointing to United States economic growth. “At the right time, we will take a look at that.”

1. Democrats better seize on this and put on a UNITED front.

Cuts to SS and Medicare are the only things that might get through to any *sane* Republicans left. I'm hoping all but the cultiest of cultists will reject Fat Nixon over what he's suggesting.

2. This needs to be run in a continuous loop from now until November. Nt
