Trump promises to halt taxes on Social Security; cites ‘inflation nightmare’ for seniors
Trump made the promise on his Truth Social media platform
Former President Trump on Monday promised to halt taxes on Social Security benefits in an effort to help many senior citizens.
On Truth Social, Trump posted a video saying inflation under the Biden administration has hurt seniors.
“To help seniors on fixed incomes who are suffering the ravages of Comrade Kamala Harris’ inflation nightmare — I’m promising NO TAX on SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS!” he wrote on X.
In a video that accompanied the post, Trump said nearly half of all seniors pay taxes on Social Security and that they had been “hit very, very, hard” because of inflation.
“I will always protect Social Security as I did just four years ago,” he said. “Our great senior citizens will be happy and they will be safe. And they will be getting their money from Medicare and Social Security.”
