Readers are concerned that his campaign proposals would put Social Security’s finances on thinner ice, endangering their payments.

Tax experts advise a 'wait-and-see' approach to planning when it comes to Trump's campaign promise to eliminate taxes on Social Security benefits.

Though President-elect Donald Trump has often promised to protect Social Security, he has not explained exactly how he would save the beloved – but financially troubled – entitlement program. Nor did he take any meaningful steps to shore up Social Security during his first term in the White House.

“Here we go… The Republicans in the House introduced a bill yesterday to reduce Social Security payments to anyone receiving a military pension,” reads one post. “Ummm, so House Republicans just laid a bill on the table to reduce social security payments for Americans who receive a pension or disability benefit from an employer,” says another.
