Trump just signed an exec order to end paper Social Security checks by Sept 30—screwing over 485,000+ Americans, many of them elderly, disabled, or without bank access. Cruel, calculated, and cowardly. tinyurl.com/Fool-Trump #HandsOffMySocialSecurity

Trump’s not a populist—he’s a grifter. He rigs the system to reward his billionaire donors while the rest of us pay more. And the GOP?Too weak to stop him.Too scared to speak out. They’ve surrendered to corruption. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Trump has revoked a U.S. citizen’s Social Security benefits in the hopes they would leave the country. This comes after the administration filed 6,000 immigrants into the SSA’s “death master file,” stripping them of their legal ability to work and receive benefits.

That’s literally the whole point: people’s political opinions are not mechanically tied to economic conditions. You can see a milder version of the same thing now, as economic conditions deteriorate much more quickly than Trump’s approval
