Howard Lutnick, Donald Trump’s BILLIONAIRE BUDDY turned commerce secretary, has confirmed that the administration was simply lying to MAGA supporters about not touching Social Security and Medicare.

“Back in October… I flew down to Texas, got Elon Musk to [set up DOGE], and here was our agreement: that Elon was gonna cut a trillion dollars of waste, fraud, and abuse,” Lutnick told Jesse Waters of Fox News Wednesday night. “We have almost $4 trillion of entitlements, and no one’s ever looked at it before. You know Social Security is wrong, you know Medicaid and Medicare are wrong. So he’s gonna cut a trillion, and we’re gonna get rid of all these tax scams that hammer against America, and we’re gonna raise a trillion dollars of revenue.”

Just last a month ago, Donald Trump promised that “Social Security won’t be touched, other than if there’s fraud or something. It’s going to be strengthened. Medicare, Medicaid... none of that stuff is going to be touched.”

Fast-forward a week later, and he endorsed House Republicans’ budget plan, which is expected to make an $880 billion cut to Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for the rich.

This is a long cry from the party that was telling its voters, many of whom are elderly conservatives on government benefits, that it wouldn’t lay a finger on the programs they need most.
