Since taking office, President Trump, DOGE and the administration have been focused on trimming the budget and eliminating what they say is waste and fraud. Those initiatives have included a close look at Social Security and Medicare — the government's two largest programs, in both cost and the number of people impacted.


Presidential advise and DOGE head Elon Musk called entitlement spending within Social Security and Medicare key targets for cuts, and has cited overpayments, unused offices, and other redundancies. Musk also claimed that over $100 billion each year is paid to individuals with no Social Security number.


However, President Trump has pledged not to reduce or eliminate any benefits.


“The Trump Administration will not cut Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid benefits,” the White House said in a recent press release. The President himself has maintained that he won't touch Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid, and instead will be looking to remove "tremendous fraud" from the system.

Trump is not in charge. Musk is making the decisions. It is not about waste and fraud. It is about justifying another huge tax cut for the wealthy and corporations.

No, Nordy, President Trump is in charge and Musk will have completed his audit in a few months and return to making more billions of dollars.

He is a patriot and those firebombing Teslas and Tesla dealerships are criminals.

No Oil, Trump is playing golf and not getting involved. None of what you believe has been shown to be true. He has not saved billions. He has simply crippled agencies to get a tax cut for billionaires. You are such a sucker for Trump lies.
