Former President Donald Trump is facing mounting pressure to address the declining state of Social Security, but his options for doing so are dwindling. With the program's trust fund projected to be exhausted by 2035, Trump must take bold action soon to prevent a crisis.
One option for Trump is to follow the recommendations of the Social Security Trustees, who have proposed gradually raising the retirement age and increasing payroll taxes. However, this plan would be politically unpopular, and Trump may be reluctant to embrace it. Another option is to reduce benefits, but this would also be unpopular with voters and could leave many seniors struggling financially.
Trump's best option may be to find a compromise that both addresses the financial challenges facing Social Security and protects the benefits of current and future retirees. However, finding such a compromise will be difficult, and it is unclear whether Trump has the political will to do so.
The fate of Social Security hangs in the balance, and Trump's actions in the coming months will have a profound impact on the future of the program.
