WASHINGTON — Donald Trump failed to deliver on his promise to end taxes on Social Security benefits, overtime and tip income, and so now has turned to an alternative that has often worked for him in the past: lying about it.

Ever since his massive tax and spending bill cleared the Senate last weekend, Trump has been claiming that it fulfills campaign pledges that helped him return to the presidency, even though the 330-page measure only provides temporary help that only partially accomplishes what he promised.

What’s more, the recipients of those tax breaks, along with every other American household, could soon end up paying far more because of the massive import taxes Trump says will take effect next month.

And all three tax breaks will expire in 2028 – the year Trump leaves office, assuming he chooses to honor the constitutional limit of two presidential terms.

1. In addition, and not insignificantly, tariffs are de facto taxes on consumers of the product/service under tariff

2. It will continue after 2028. Who is going to say no to a SMALL tax break that does help a lot of people, wait staff,

overtime workers, and SS. People with higher incomes will continue to pay taxes on some of their SS payments.

4. I heard that there is nothing about SS in the bill because................

it would have needed 60 votes to pass.

5. I've seen several YT videos spreading the lie...

... not to mention the "official" e-mail the SS Admin sent out. The current Administration never fails to deliver the Big Lie.
