“I will never cut Social Security or Medicare or Medicaid.”
The promise
Trump vowed that his agenda would not cut core social programs such as Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid. He said he would veto any budget with cuts to these. But subsequent budget drafts and proposals have signaled structural changes, cost shifts, or reductions in funding growth rates. Critics argue such moves amount to cuts in practice. Many see this promise as broken (or at risk) given budget pressures and campaign rhetoric mismatch.
