With one-fifth of the population receiving benefits, Social Security constitutes the biggest part of the federal budget. Therefore, it’s important to know where every presidential candidate stands on the entitlement program. But even the AARP, which is probably watching the candidates’ positions on Social Security closer than any other organization, can’t make sense of Donald Trump’s position.
A graphic on the AARP website lists Social Security proposals from seven of the eight remaining candidates on the Republican and Democratic side. The eighth candidate, who’s not included? Trump. All the graphic says is “Donald Trump has yet to take a stand.” Apparently Trump’s gibberish on the issue is not enough to constitute a real plan on the issue. That’s why Trump’s Social Security page on the AARP website says “Tell Donald Trump to take a stand on social security — now.”
