Trump Campaign Press Release - Joe Biden is Trying to Con Seniors and Scare Them During A Pandemic
Biden's lies have been repeatedly debunked by fact checkers.
Biden is spreading disinformation in Florida today, trying to trick and scare seniors like the con artist and career politician that he is. Fact-checkers have debunked Biden's shameless lies about Social Security and Medicare, but that hasn't stopped Biden from repeating them anyway.
FACT: Biden's attack that President Trump will "slash" Medicare benefits is a lie.
- Washington Post: "[W]e were unaware of any Trump proposal or policy effort to cut Medicare benefits... [T]he Biden campaign goes too far to declare he is seeking to 'slash' Medicare benefits... The Biden campaign earns Two Pinocchios."
FACT: Biden's attack that President Trump will defund Social Security is a lie.

- Washington Post: 4 Pinocchios: Biden campaign attacks a Trump Social Security 'plan' that does not exist
- PolitiFact: Mostly False: Fact-checking Joe Biden's claim that Donald Trump's payroll tax 'plan' sinks Social Security
- KSTP-TV (Minneapolis): Does Trump plan to eliminate Social Security? No.
- WGAL-TV (Lancaster): "We're calling this claim false."
In stark contrast to Biden's absurd claims, PolitiFact noted that President Trump has kept his promise to protect Social Security benefits for America's seniors.
In fact, President Trump has repeatedly promised to protect Social Security and Medicare. He has made it clear he will always fight to protect Americans' hard-earned retirement benefits.
