This current Social Security riff by Trump is completely debunked 100% total made-up BS. No president has EVER lied this baldly from the podium. And Vance, Johnson, and the whole GOP just nod and go along with it.

You have never seen such vile gutless and chicken-hearted people as the GOP. However, the Dems are running on a very shakey platform. Incidentally, I am an Independent and was always supportive of Dems......
Well, I mean, Vance, Johnson, & the whole GOP are liars too. Of course they go along with it. There is not one decent person in the GOP. Not one. They are all pond scum.
Trump has Threatened Article One of the Constitution since his arrival in politics while pretending that his freedom to speak was being infringed upon when he continued to spew lies and misinformation. Demonizing the press, media, protestors and anyone that speaks the truth about his dangerous acts.
After President Trumps Speech, I suggest the following:
Before DOGE guts the websites for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, please print out your benefits and pay to ensure you have a record.
I hope you know that President Trump took out his pack of cards/lies to show you what his plans were!
Performative & transactional.
Trump’s a paid spokesperson.
Literally.
That’s his whole life.
Others are making the decisions & doing the work.
It literally does not matter to them ‘what’ he says.
Biggest heist in the history of the world.
100%! Reporting in NY Times on Oval Office blowup and Trumps remarks were, once again the STUPIDEST.
It’s like he barely understands the issue at hand.
Transportation Sec chastises Musk for firing air traffic controllers. Trump suggests he only get replacements from MIT “because they’re geniuses.
Ha! Wait til the SS benefits are stopped or even delayed.
Let’s see how complaisant they are then. Foolish dupes, they still harbor the illusion they can control him.
He's trying to justify his destruction of Social Security. There goes almost two thirds of my retirement income and 100 percent of many other senior's income. Tariffs will drive up our cost of living and then he's going to take away what we've paid into for years and depend on to live.
Unemployment numbers next month will hopefully make people use their common sense. I listen to these stupid ass Trump white voters and they are still in LALA LAND.
I give it 6 months and this economy will crash and planes too.
Wars in other countries is evident. Hegseth and his white merit boys
Our civil rights, and our word that was given to some countries via a treaty already in place. We asked Ukraine to give up their nuclear weapons to Russia, and we promised to always support them from aggression. So did Russia. A written agreement!❤️💯
I try to limit the amount my ears hear that guy's voice, but watching with just subtitles becomes distracting when you've got Thing 1 and Thing 2 bobble heads behind him
Listening to this fool, it occurs to me, in pursuit of efficiency, rather than using a fact checker, it would be simpler to find a lie checker to report if he says anything true.
The thing that distinguishes Trump among sociopaths is that he needs to lie and particularly enjoys it when everyone knows it’s utter bs. It soothes his insecurities, getting away with lying, cheating…
And worse: Every Gen X/Millennial/Y person knows in their bones that their Fox-addicted relatives believe every damn word of it, and no amount of fact checking will EVER convince them otherwise.
The dream of taking down Social Security has been the GOP dream for half a century. They have finally attained the level of shameless mendacity required to achieve the goal.
Difficult to listen to the lies. Spewing them out like a large open, upright hose-all to the thunderous applause of the Republicans. Disgusting. Sad.
I must check out.
The question isn't whether it's BS. It's why do they want to go full on oligarchy. And why do Democrats in Congress think it's business as usual to attend a SOTU address when the opposing party openly abandons democracy, in all its checks and balances, its precedence and morality, for autocracy?
And the answer is .... when you steal elections year in a year out, you eventually need to pursue a dictatorship to prevent accountability. Because your crimes eventually catch up to you in a democracy.
Yes, Republicans may very well have been stealing elections all the way back to year 2000!
And by sitting by, every Democrat in the room lets him get away with the lies. It's not enough that they've been the butt of his humiliating words, the fact that they sit there and take it is despicable and disgusting. Respect to Representative Green. That was the Democrats cue and they blew it.
Several Democrats did walk out -the camera doesn’t move so we don’t see what’s happening still with your frustration. They were like lemmings.
Also take offense with Johnson doing the sergeant of arms bit
There was nothing that could be done. Trump was in his apprenticeship role. Lots of lies but the republican congress ate it up. Just another delay tactic. I would like to see proof of the social security abuses. Nobody 200 years old ever got a check and they know that
Only around 56 million people collect social security based on old age, he named off that many as being over 100 in increasingly more ludicrous numbers.
First it was programming language confusion but they are just making it up now.
This is a presidency of malice. Trump cannot assuage his need to exact revenge. Revenge seems like priority number one for Trump. Diminishing America is main objective. That also benefits Putin. And Trump may change the world order. Consequential.
They don't care. All they care about is that they are creating the idea that their is massive fraud in social security and that gives them the license to cut it.
Don't forget those to Trump's right. Everyone who sat through that is complicit. Letting one be kicked out, and then cowering afterwards was not only depressing but extremely disrespectful towards democracy and humanity itself.
We can't sit idly by while Trump, Musk and Vance rape our country.
Come on Americans, stand up to Trumps outright assault on Americans rights, sovereignty and earned dues. Fire Trump, Vance and Musk now for the betterment of our country before it's too late. Oust Trump, Vance and Musk as justified.
The best communication is non- verbal. When people experience higher gasoline & oil prices, lose jobs, be impacted by lack of soc. security, then they'll understand. Hence, this morning's tweet, no 'illegal' protests on college campuses. Be compliant in advance.
One must have the critical faculties of a 4th grader to be unable to see Trump as someone who literally does nothing but lie.
MAGA folks must’ve felt right at home as SOTU ran on interminably, all those bedtime fairy tales were so comforting.
But you KNOW, it's not Trump alone, he is the puppet, the mouthpiece and Vance, mouthpiece in waiting... question is WHO are the master puppeteers? Bannon et al...?
This argument about "Social Security is fraud" that he is making this month is to shut down payments to people next month and people will claim "Well they had to do SOMETHING about the fraud"
The GOP in whole and In part have been trying to privatize Social Security for ages. Nothing new here. All those trillions just sitting there begging for wall street to lose them .
The truth is — The Republican blueprint is Russian oligarchy: In the 1990s, Russia’s most profitable organisations were dismantled and taken over by tycoons able to take advantage of an increasingly compromised privatisation process and seize control of hugely profitable state enterprises.
Dems need to fight these lies tooth and nail. GOP has wanted to destroy Social Security for 90 yrs, from the moment of its birth. They think they've got a way to do it now with Musk's lies, and only a huge public outcry might stop them. And I'm not sure even that will be enough.
NOTE TO TRUMP AND GOP LAWMAKERS: YOU CAN ABANDON UKRAINE, FIRE FEDERAL WORKERS, SLASH MEDICARE AND MEDICAID, ETC. BUT IF YOU DO NOT SEND OUT OUR SOCIAL SECURITY CHECKS, MONEY THAT BELONGS TO US THAT WAS TAKEN OUT OF OUR PAYCHECKS, THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY FROM THE ENTIRE ELECTORATE. COUNT ON IT.
And my dem party sits and takes it, too! 😡
No push back, no walking out…just passively listening to his lies and not representing OUR side!
I will not vote for any of these sorry *reps again!

Leaders of the world’s democracies, stay strong, never let them have an inch. You have an amazing amount of power if you continue to stand together.
😠😠😠😠
Fortunately this is all going to fall apart in the next year or two. THAT is what I'm looking forward to

Like now.
🙃
This would all STOP if they objected. Treat them accordingly!
Something has to change soon!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Been trying to think of how to describe his voice—oily? Smarmy? I can’t find the right words but his voice makes me ill .
I mean, really. This is the biggest political story of the century and they're pretending it's business as usual.
I must check out.

Cognitive dissonance.

It’s a good business model if you have the guns.
Tell your friends, your family - this is real and it is happening. We are only exceptional if we stop this from happening
And they ain't all people who are going along with this shit.
Putin is using anyone he can to accomplish that!
😱

It’s much better than sitting there, listening to the monster’s lies and disrespect of our country!
