Tens of millions of Americans depend on Social Security, which remains a vital government policy. The Social Security Administration is currently facing a staffing crisis, losing thousands of employees, which has strained its ability to serve the public effectively. Despite these challenges, President Trump maintains that his administration has improved the program. Trump claims to have saved Social Security by enhancing customer service and ensuring that it remains beneficial for future generations. Nevertheless, there are concerns about the program's sustainability moving forward.
"I made a sacred pledge to our seniors that I would always protect Social Security, and under this administration we're keeping that promise and strengthening Social Security for generations to come," Trump said.
The Social Security Administration, the agency that oversees the program, lost thousands of employees this year, including senior executives with deep understanding of how the program works.
Offices are down about 20% of staff this year, taking into account folks who've been transferred to work phone lines, per an Axios tally.
'By massively improving the customer service experience through technological improvements, preventing illegal aliens from accessing benefits, and delivering no taxes on Social Security through the One Big Beautiful Bill - President Trump has Made Social Security Great Again,' White House spokesperson Liz Huston said.
