Here’s What You Might Not Hear In Trump’s CPAC Speech
March 4, 2023
Donald Trump is taking center stage today to deliver a primetime address at the extreme Conservative Political Action Conference, but here are some things he might forget to mention:
Trump bragged that “nobody has ever done more” to ban abortion across the country by “[putting] 3 Supreme Court justices who all voted” to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Donald Trump: “Nobody has ever done more for [anti-choice] than Donald Trump. I put three Supreme Court justices who all voted, and they got something that they’ve been fighting for for 64 years.”
Trump proposed budgets to cut funding for local law enforcement programs every single year he was in office.
Wall Street Journal: “The [Trump] administration’s 2021 budget, like all its previous budgets, recommended eliminating the Community Relations Services and Community Oriented Policing Services and placing their functions under other parts of the department to ‘improve efficiency.’”
Trump also proposed cuts to Medicare and Social Security programs — every single year he was in office.
- Trump’s FY21 budget proposal called for a net cut of $480 billion from Medicare and $24 billion from Social Security programs.
- Trump’s FY20 budget proposed cutting $575 billion from Medicare and $26 billion from Social Security programs.
- Trump’s FY19 budget proposed cutting $554 billion from Medicare and $72.5 billion from SSDI and Supplemental Security Income.
- Trump’s FY18 budget proposed a $70 billion cut to SSDI benefits.
Try as he might to lie about his wildly unpopular agenda, Trump’s extreme MAGA record speaks for itself.
