Trump is trying to sell his domestic policy bill with lies. Let’s break them down.
Trump said, “We’re not doing any cutting of anything meaningful. The only thing we’re cutting is waste, fraud and abuse.” False.

Millionaires stop paying into Social Security today.

Billionaires made that much about an hour into the year.
Elon Musk did in just 15 minutes.
