The white house realized Trump said he was ending Social Security by saying he would make tax cuts permanent if re-elected. Let the 'oh crap, the guy bragging he can identify a lion didn't actually mean that' restatements start.

In a speech announcing the actions at his golf resort in Bedminster, N.J., on Saturday, Trump also announced, “If victorious on November 3rd, I plan to forgive these taxes and make permanent cuts to the payroll tax,” adding “I’m going to make them all permanent.”
But those announcements drew swift and fierce condemnation from liberals, who were quick to note that the payroll tax funds Social Security and Medicare, broadly popular programs the defunding of which would doubtless damage Trump politically.
White House economic advisor Larry Kudlow asserted on CNN’s State of the Union that Trump “will protect Social Security and Medicare,” claiming that the deferral, not a payroll tax cut, is what “will be made permanent. It will be forgiven,” which CNN host Dana Bash argued is “not what the president said at all.”
