Trump Commerce Secretary: “Let’s say Social Security didn’t send out their checks this month. My mother-in-law— who is 94—she wouldn’t call and complain. She just wouldn’t.”

Oh yeah? Good for her. My dad’s blood pressure was 193/113 last night because he was afraid he might lose social security soon and had no clue how he would be able to live without it.
I don’t think your segment treated this with the urgency it requires. Nor did you have anything about what can be done to prevent this latest crisis. I know you know millions of people totally rely on these payments. Not to mention it’s THEIR damn money.
I think you need to point harder at the "fraudster" part of this clip honestly. He's trying to cast doubt on people who collect Social Security. It makes no sense that he would paint it that way unless he had an ulterior motive.
It’s literally grooming the American public to accept another baby step toward full blown autocracy so we don’t flip out next month when the checks don’t arrive, oh and the post office, oh and the everything and everyone else excuses until it’s too late, we no longer have a choice
There would be MASSIVE protests by seniors with their walkers etc. JUST LET ME KNOW WHERE AND WHEN AND I WILL BE THERE WITH ALL MY FRIENDS! Everyone will hear our voices!!! FIGHT BACK AGAINST THIS MADNESS!!!!
He’s lying. He went on to say that his mother-in-law would just wait a month for her next check. Who is he kidding? NO ONE would skip a payment and just “wait for the next one.” Then he said that the only people who would be concerned with a missed check are “fraudsters.” 🤮
Here is the phone # for the Secy. of Commerce office. Stand up and let them know how wrong he, and the rest, are. They are testing the waters to see if people will push back. PUSH BACK-MAKE THE CALL. Yes, I did. 800-424-5197.
Please share this as much as possible. We CAN and Must make a difference.
The disconnect is so very real. Fotus and his appointees think no one relies on Social Security. I am guessing it will come as a shock to maga supporters.
He is an idiot, appointed by an idiot felon in cahoots with an idiot billionaire. SSR is what I paid into and along with Pension and 401K is what I depend on. If my SS check is not in my bank account, I will scream and will be coming to Washington DC to see my Congressman and senators!
Not critiquing Chris - just pointing out how ludicrous Lutnick using his extremely wealthy mother in law as an example. 99% of sheriff would absolutely freak if a SS payment was missed. Lutnick knows this - he knows debt statistics he’s just a crook.

"Is that why Trump is always yelling and screaming and complaining?"
This man is lying through his teeth.

if you want to know who's stealing, impose a 90% top marginal tax rate and see who screams the loudest
