Скачать или смотреть TRUMP BROKE HIS SOCIAL SECURITY PROMISE IN 2025 — WHY MOST SENIORS ACTUALLY WON

President Donald Trump made a bold campaign promise: eliminate federal taxes on Social Security benefits. The proposal energized millions of seniors frustrated by decades-old tax rules that were never adjusted for inflation.
But when Trump’s flagship tax and spending package — often called the “big, beautiful bill” — became law in 2025, the promise was missing. Ending the tax would have required 60 Senate votes to amend the Social Security Act, a political reality that made passage nearly impossible.
Despite backlash, experts argue seniors may have quietly benefited. Instead of eliminating Social Security taxes — which would mostly help higher-income retirees and weaken program funding — the new law expanded the standard deduction for Americans aged 65 and older. Eligible seniors can now deduct up to $6,000 more, or $12,000 for couples, directly reducing taxable income from 2025 through 2028.
This change targets retirees who rely most on Social Security, while preserving one of the program’s key funding sources. With trustees warning of potential benefit cuts by 2033, keeping revenue intact may delay painful reductions.
In the end, what looked like a broken promise may have turned into a financial win for millions of seniors — and a lifeline for Social Security itself.
