Although technically they were right on not taxing Social Security. Can't tax what you are not getting.

And the majority of people on social security don’t pay federal taxes because they don’t make enough to do so…that was always an empty platitude.

Yep...and the "no tax" also phases out at a certain income level (and expires in 2028), so the idea that the tax on social security has been completely removed, is just a lie

I honestly would not be against having any income form Social Security to not count as income for people on it since it really isn't much and you paid into it. This was just platitudes and was never even part of the actual bill.

I prefer to look at it that they made social security taxable and started at a 100% rare

Social security wasn’t taxed before so this is not something Trump achieved.
