Since Vladimir Putin [R-RU] and the Republican Reich helped Donald Trump* steal the White House, he hasn\u2019t changed much.  He has a penchant for saying whatever he thinks his audience want to here.  On the campaign trail in 2016, his handlers knew that he could not endorse Paul Lyin\u2019 Ryan\u2019s standard Republican plan to gut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.  If he had, he could never have gotten close enough to steal the election.  However, at Davos, talking to fat cats, he forgot that he\u2019s campaigning again, and said what he really thinks.<\/font><\/p>\n

When President Trump suggested to an interviewer at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland that he would, \u201cat some point,\u201d look at cutting entitlement programs, his Democratic critics seized on the comments as evidence that Mr. Trump would gut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid in a second term.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven as the impeachment trial is underway, Trump is still talking about cutting your Social Security<\/strong>,\u201d Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Democratic leader, said at the beginning of a news conference that was ostensibly about the Senate impeachment trial.<\/p>\n

The Democratic super PAC Priorities USA posted on Twitter<\/a> about Mr. Trump\u2019s remarks, and others contrasted his statement with his 2016 campaign pledge not to touch entitlement programs\u2026  [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
