President Donald Trump, along with White House adviser Elon Musk, made outlandish claims regarding Social Security beneficiaries, insisting that millions of individuals over 100 years old receive checks, including those allegedly born during the Civil War. Trump exaggerated figures at a Miami conference, suggesting a remarkably high number of people over the age of 110 and absurdly stated that there are recipients aged up to 360. These claims were met with cheers from the audience but lacked any basis in fact and likely stem from limitations and quirks in the Social Security Administration’s database.
President Donald Trump made baseless claims about Social Security recipients, insisting millions over the age of 100 are collecting checks, including those born during the Civil War.
White House adviser Elon Musk echoed these claims, alleging over 20 million Americans over 100 receive Social Security checks, without any factual basis to support it.
During a Miami conference, Trump exaggerated the numbers, asserting millions of Social Security recipients are over 110 years old, with claims reaching absurd figures, including individuals aged 360.
Despite the applause from the crowd, Trump's assertions lack credibility and stem from a misunderstanding of the Social Security Administration's database programming inconsistencies.
