Like most elected officials, Donald Trump recognizes that Social Security is vital to the financial well-being of our nation's retirees. But he's not oblivious to the fact that altering Social Security comes with potentially negative ramifications. While speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference in March 2013, Trump said:

In 1983, when Social Security's asset reserves were running dangerously low, Congress passed and then-President Ronald Reagan signed the Social Security Amendments of 1983 into law. In addition to gradually increasing the payroll tax on earned income, as well as the full retirement age, it introduced the now-hated taxation of benefits.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump has promised sweeping actions in his second administration. The president-elect has outlined a wide-ranging agenda that blends traditional conservative approaches to taxes, regulation and cultural issues with a more populist bent on trade and a shift in America’s international role.

President Donald Trump notably called for a ban of TikTok during his first term due to national security concerns.

Letters: Musk, Ramaswamy will declare war on seniors. Developing good citizens is the key to our future. Democrats should call for Trump's resignation.

President-elect Donald Trump has made a bold promise to eliminate federal taxes on Social Security benefits. For millions of retirees, it’s an enticing idea, conjuring visions of bigger monthly checks and greater financial freedom.

Fencing and concrete blocks are being moved into position ahead of Donald Trump's second presidential inauguration on Monday.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order to further delay the TikTok ban in the U.S. In a statement shared hours after he was sworn in on Monday, Jan. 20, Trump announced he was giving TikTok 75 more days before a law banning the social media platform in the U.S. would take effect.

President-elect Donald Trump's plans to protect Social Security benefits could give retirees more money in their pockets, but it could also deplete the program's funds more quickly over the long term.

The President said he would be open to the US billionaires purchasing social video app TikTok as part of a joint venture with the US government.

President Donald Trump has directed his Justice Department to pause enforcement of the TikTok ban until early April.
