Trump War Room
Case #
5623

Twitter community adds context to Trump War Room’s tweet: Trump War Room, the official account for Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign, tweeted, “President Trump will ALWAYS PROTECT Medicare and Social Security! Ron DeSanctimonious (a disciple of Paul Ryan) voted to gut them both and raise the retirement age to 70.” The tweet also contains a video clip, where Trump states, “I will always protect Medicare and Social Security for our great seniors.” Twitter added a warning label to the post. The warning says, “Readers added context they thought people might want to know. Donald Trump was open to cutting Medicaid in 2020.” The label also links to a CNN news story. The article discusses Trump’s various stances on Medicaid and says that the fiscal budget for 2020 “proposed cuts to Medicare and Social Security.” However, nothing in the article seems to contradict Trump’s statements about his current stance on welfare programs.
