My only suggestion for his message is that he refer a little more specifically to what comments he is referring to. Not everyone is following every twist and turn the way we are.

what these social security payments mean to those of us receiving them legally after paying into the SS system for so long.

Personally, I want to call them a&&holes and worse, being that they are bringing untold amounts of hysteria and concern to seniors and all of those who will soon be on social security. They deserve to be thrown into jail being that they are threatening seniors. Someone should charge them in this manner so they'll perhaps realize that what they are doing isn't going well w/ a lot of people.

The Trump administration thinks Social Security recipients are fraudsters.

We know the real thieves work at the White House.

Thanks for the correction. What a bummer. I must have misread it. Still, I applaud him for the effort.

Of course the message is correct.... but

This is it? from one of our leaders? This is all we have?
