Such awful bullshit propaganda. Like we all need to be beholden to this Orange Ape when he had NOTHING to do with Social Security. What's worse? Acting like he is a guardian and protector of it.
Here it is in all of its glory:
Making Life More Affordable for America's Seniors
This weekend, America celebrates its 250th birthday. For over 90 of those years, Social Security has provided financial freedom for America's seniors. President Donald J. Trump and the Trump Administration are not only protecting Social Security, but we are providing meaningful and immediate relief to older Americans who have spent decades contributing to our nation's economy.
Just last year, on July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the Working Families Tax Cuts Act. This historic legislation included a tax cut that allows Americans 65 and older to keep more of their hard-earned Social Security benefits. Thanks to President Trump, over 35 million American seniors received an average of $7,500 in relief this tax season.
If you did not take advantage of the President's signature tax cut for seniors, I encourage you to review eligibility requirements through the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) website for next year's tax filing season.
Under the leadership of President Trump, we are protecting and strengthening Social Security while providing world-class customer service:
In SSA field offices, we've reduced wait times by 30 percent;
On the phone, we've answered calls 75 percent faster;
We're meeting the needs of seniors in the digital age with 24/7 access to online my Social Security accounts;
We've increased the number of personal my Social Security accounts to over 100 million users and have processed over 100 million more transactions this year;
For disability claimants, we have reduced processing times by 25 percent; and
Our efforts to prioritize efficiency, streamline our processes, and decrease wait times are saving Americans time while delivering the highest quality service.
Put simply, America's seniors are winning! I'm honored to be in your service.
Happy 250th birthday, America!
