Trump Announces MASSIVE Social Security Cleanup — 275,000 Illegal Aliens Removed, Plus 12.4 Million Dead People Over 120 Years Wiped from Database

On the 90th anniversary of the Social Security Act, President Donald J. Trump delivered a stirring proclamation in the Oval Office, promising to “Make Social Security Great Again.”

Trump celebrated the passage of his signature legislation, the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which includes a temporary senior tax deduction, effectively eliminating taxes on Social Security benefits for many recipients aged 65 and above from 2025 through 2028.

As part of the administration’s push to “root out fraud, waste, and abuse,” Trump touted removing 275,000 illegal aliens from the Social Security system and clearing 12.4 million names listed as being over 120 years old.

In his remarks and through a White House post, he claimed many of these phantom entries were getting benefits.

    Trump:
    “Last month, I signed one big, beautiful bill and allowed no tax on Social Security for our great seniors. Okay, so how’s that? Not bad, right? No tax on Social Security for our seniors.

    To protect our benefits, we’ve already kicked nearly 275,000 illegal aliens off of the Social Security system. These are people—many of them have already left the country—and yet we were sending them checks all the time.

    And 275,000… that number is now even larger than that, Frank. It’s an unbelievable job, and what that’s doing is making the system strong. It’s making it strong.

    Biden never kicked anybody off. Everybody joined. And we’re carrying out historic deportations to remove many more illegals committing Social Security fraud. It’s the Social Security fraud that was taking place at levels that nobody’s ever seen.

    We cleared 12.4 million names listed in the Social Security database over 120 years of age. Just think of that. So we had 12.4 million names where they were over 120 years old. Is that right? That’s a hell of a statement.

    So you have 12.4 million names listed in the Social Security database that were over 120 years of age, meaning you were breaking records, because I’ve never heard of anybody at 125.

    There were nearly 135,000 people listed who were over 160 years old, and in some cases getting payments. So somebody’s getting those payments, and we’re after that.”

Now anyone who tries to cast a vote in an election, applies for Social Security benefits utilizing any of these deleted numbers...IMO commits a felony and earns mandatory years in prison.

They will not put these slugs in prison, but I say seize every asset they have down to everything but the clothes on their back.  Seize their houses, bank accounts, investment, cars, cell phones, everything, and make them payback to the government with interest + 10% for all the money stolen.

You have someone 160 years of age still collecting Social Security, you can bet that is at least 60 years of fraud.   Take every nickel they have, and give them one year in prison for every year of collection unlawfully.

The abuse executed by so many through the years, and no one addressed it shows Congress is totally derelict in their duties.  All of them should be booted from Congress.

Why not make them ineligible for Medicare/Medicaid as well until full repayment, with interest and penalties is collected?

No tax on Social Security...campaign promise lie...

No tax on Social Security...campaign promise lie...

This ⬆️ may be a little harsh.  Trump and his team fought incredibly hard to make Social Security a no tax haven.  But, the reconciliation process through which the budget and tax legislation was passed prohibits changes to Social Security. Removing taxation altogether was the "no go", so they did the most of the next best thing they could get passed. 

There is good news from the Council of Economic Advisers, an agency within the presidential executive office, that estimates that the changes in deductions will help push the portion of seniors with exemptions and deductions exceeding Social Security income to 88%, from 64%.

It's not harsh...Trump again stated yesterday during the signing that NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY FOR SENIORS....a great opportunity missed by him to tell all seniors that it is just a tax deduction...not the same thing.

Absolutely
