Besant actually slipped and told the truth. Donald Trump and his government want to privatize Social Security. Another great lie from Donald Trump. He just lies at will. He promised. Donald Trump promised that Social Security under his watch, quote, would not be touched, while at the same time his administration has strangled the program behind the scenes, laying off staff, shutting down offices, making it harder to claim benefits. And now they're openly talking about privatizing it. Rarely is the end game for Republicans so obvious. They're jamming, ramming historic cuts down Americans throats to help their billionaire buddies. (04:04–04:19)
