Trump lied about social security

Story Summary:

Elizabeth, a low-income disabled woman living in California, describes how recent Trump policies have severely harmed her independence and survival. She says cuts to Medicaid, food assistance, in-home health support, and Section 8 housing have left her struggling. She says that Trump broke his promises not to touch Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid, while tariffs raised her food costs and funding for research into her chronic illnesses was slashed.
