2020 ELECTION/PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS/SOCIAL SECURITY/TAXES: “When we win the election — when I win the election, I’m going to completely and totally forgive all deferred payroll taxes without in any way, shape, or form hurting Social Security. That money is going to come from the General Fund. We’re not going to touch Social Security. I said from day one that we’re going to protect Social Security, and we’re going to protect our people. And Social Security is one of the things that will be protected. Pre-existing conditions will be protected. Medicare will be protected.
But Social Security will be totally protected under me. Under them, it will not be protected because we will have a stock market crash the likes of which you’ve never seen. Your taxes will be doubled and tripled. And your regulations will go through the roof, which is what was causing the problems with the country in the first place.”
