Voters need to be reminded that Trump once said he might cut Social Security and Medicare
Mr. Trump, however, at various times has said he would be open to cutting safety-net programs, only to have aides walk back those comments after the fact. At the right time, we will take a look at that, Mr. Trump said in January of cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security a stance that Biden campaign officials said they planned to highlight in the coming months.
The Biden team also noted that a second Morning Consult poll released this past week showed that 46 percent of voters said they trusted Mr. Biden to protect Medicare and Social Security, compared with 41 percent for Mr. Trump.

Biden would NEVER say or attempt to do such a thing as cut Medicare, Social Security or Medicaid. This FACT that Trump even SAID such a thing (and would do it if he could) needs to be hammered home, time after time. He will lose the older vote in a landslide and thus the election because of it.

Just last week he was strangling the USPS.

The only President I have ever heard propose an illegal gun grab, and somehow it slipped by unnoticed.
They will be reminded.....
