Results: Trump promised not to touch Social Security — but his Big Beautiful bill comes with a $169B shock. Protect yourself
Due to its widespread popularity, meddling with Social Security is generally considered politically taboo. President Donald Trump recognized this during his 2024 election campaign.
"I will never do anything that will jeopardize or hurt Social Security or Medicare… We'll have to do it elsewhere. But we're not going to do anything to hurt them," he said (1) at the time.
Unfortunately, Trump's Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) is now poised to do exactly what he promised he wouldn't. In an indirect way, this signature piece of legislation actually creates a $169 billion shock impacting anyone who hopes to collect a benefit check in the future. https://www.aol.com/articles/trump-promised-not-touch-social-110500000.html
