President Trump will be delivering a rally style speech today at The Villages in Florida centered around remarks to emphasize “no tax on social security benefits.” President Trump is expected to speak around 3 to 4pm ET with livestream links below:

The latest Iran proposals aren’t any good so President Trump is going to the Villages to kill some time with the old folks while Iran figures out how much more abuse they want to take.
..since ..bombing did not lead to color revolution/collapse of Iranian government why not try some promises…….
I was touring the Villages in March (my sister was house shopping) and most of the people
there are not “old” –
I used “old” as the stand-in word for “the people living in amaster-planned, age-restricted retirement community”.
For some reason I thought “old” made the sentence flow better.
God bless!
Black suit.
I believe it’s dark navy blue.
President Trump calls this no tax on social security but thats not true. Over 65, we get a 6k deduction on wages & thats only until 2028. I get OT, which at my age i need, and I thought no tax on OT meant no tax on OT but that wasnt true. What IS true is that there is no tax on the ‘half hour’ of time & a half, this too until 2028, when hes gone. I was grateful for the 6k deduction because the OT through me into the next tax bracket but the 6k deduction brought me back down and in the end I mostly broke even. I asked the accountant and he said the senate did not approve the no tax on SS, but gave the deduction, same with no tax on OT. My accountant is a Trump supporter too.
Correct. And it’s not until 65 so if you draw before then, you still have to pay the tax. Bummer.
OT is the .5 premium. The standard deduction plus additional 6k covers the average + Soc.Sec. Benefit.
I see OT as anything over 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week.
If one works 41 hours a week, that extra 1 hour that pays 1.5 of wage should all be untaxed. What a crock that only the .5 is untaxed, thats only 1/3 of overtime untaxed.
It’s the best he could get through with the slim margins and abundance of RINOs in the CONgress.
Exactly. FFS, people whine too much and forget how he’s not a King.
Not being a “King” has nothing to do with lying about non-existent tax relief…
That being the case, the President shouldn’t be out telling voters that “NO TAX on social security” Bull Shite
He should just tell voters that he tried to get tax relief but the “congress” quashed it…
This year i made $4500 in OT. Got killed on that.
My son worked overtime; got it back. Maybe you should use Turbo Tax.
Congress rarely thinks the way normal people do.
That is impossible, as they do what they want with no accountability!
Not so… I had to pay more tax on social security this year than in the past… “No Tax on Social Security is nothing but lies…
Only the government could take something simple like overtime hours and make it so confusing that nobody can understand.
It is not confusing OT is the .5 premium. Payroll companies segregate this amount for the W2. And you don’t pay tax on the OT. What is difficult to understand.
I think you will find that most people consider more that your scheduled shift hours as overtime.
Of course they do.
Because, they are full of crap and propagandists.
” What is difficult to understand” ???
What is difficult for me to understand is why the President keeps touting something that is just not true…
Correct. My wife and I had a larger share of our Social Security taxed by the IRS this year than the 2024 tax year because our total adjusted gross income went up much more than was offset by the new $12,000 deduction for couples both receiving Social Security. So, the no tax on Social Security is inaccurate and part of PR strategy. maybe next year when the deduction goes up to $7500 we will see some reduction.
That’s a function of your other income, not social security.
math is hard lol
Exactly; notice the user names…show up and peddle BS.
That’s always the case. Most benefits delivered via tax “cuts” have phase-outs based on AGI. In the worst case you are subject to Alternative Minimum Tax. That’s why the Trump Admin stresses “working family tax cuts”. They’re aimed at a certain income level.
The thing about “overtime”, only certain workers are subject to being paid for “overtime”.
Your complaint should be with the US Senate, not President Trump. He can make campaign “promises”, and ask for their approval, but he can’t force the Senate do do anything. Apparently no one can!!!
And, Cindyloowho is just wrong.
It is the President that keeps telling voters that we got tax relief on social security, not the “congress”…
That’s the way it always goes. A President proposes, but ultimately the Congress disposes. And since they consider that all of your money actually belongs to the State (them), they get to decide how much you keep.
The fact that the congress quashed the “tax relief on social security” is not the issue here…
The issue is: If there is no tax relief on social security, the President should stop telling us that there is tax relief…
I suspect that many other Americans had to pay taxes on their social security benefits, just like I did,,, And I also suspect the lies about “No Tax on social security” will cost votes in the mid-term elections…
Bet no one has told him….they wanr him ou there saying it.
I don’t doubt that… it is likely just more of the republicans efforts to lose the mid-term “elections”…
It is also on a sliding scale…..so 85% of my SS was taxed anyway it did not take into account the 6000. House of Representatives should be called out as well. What an insult as they approve money for all those corrupt NGO.
But social security benefits ARE taxed. Giving a small credit helps support some people, but does NOT mean they are not taxed because the rest of us DO pay tax on the benefits. Either 47 is misinformed or he is lying. I prefer to think he is misinformed.
It had to be done in the form of a deduction, because only Congress can eliminate the taxes on Social Security. It is:
It is in addition to the standard deduction. It wasn’t small to me!
President Trump is not going to spew out all this policy wonk mumbo jumbo in his speeches. He’s going to simplify it for the masses.
Simplify it to a falsehood. The background graphic says “No Tax on Social Security.” That’s a lie, plain and simple. He knows better. He’s up there lying to our faces.
He’s up there bragging about the refunds some seniors are getting. Since I am still paying tax on MY social security benefits, all I can say about that is “enjoy MY money.”
I hope Mary Alice enjoys her tax refund. It was paid for in part with the tax I paid on my Social Security. Enjoy my money, Mary Alice.
So go vote for AOC. He can’t just say something is so and then it is so.
Remember that whole “No Kings” thing?
SS is a tax in the first place and the Government doesn’t have to pay you anything.
If social security benefits are still taxible, the President should stop telling us that we got tax relief on social security benefits…
The American people aren’t as dumb as you think…
Should have sent it straight to MN sow they can enjoy.
So, telling us we got tax relief on social security, even though it didn’t happen, is “simplifying it for the masses???
Exactly but people pretend not to know things or they just are truly ignorant while crying.
There is a sliding scale used to figure whether SS is taxed and all your income if you continue to work, have investment income is considered and a scale is applied you can pay tax on 85% of income if you fall in or out of a certain income range . The 12000 reduction for a couple does not reduce that income when the scale is considered it is applied after to reduce all income after SS is taxed.
This is just another case of people taking him literally, not seriously. Imagine the wording complexity he’d have to deal with to always have to refer to the TAX SAVINGS by explaining deductions and marital status and etc etc. VSG is not going to communicate as a policy wonk.
We all understand he is telling us we received TAX SAVINGS.
Due to financial set backs, his TAX SAVINGS are the only reason we did not have to pay thousands more to the government at tax filing time.
“No tax on Social Security” is a lie. Twist yourself into a pretzel to avoid reality if you must. Me, I’m SUPER pissed about it.
“We have no inheritance tax. We have no death tax.” Another lie. The estate tax was NOT repealed. The exemption was just raised. He knows better. He knows what he is saying is a lie.
Both my wife’s and my SS benefits are included in our year end income
Yes, $45,000 of our Social Security benefits were in our year end income that were subject to federal income taxes, even with the new deduction.
so both you and your wife are maxing out NOICE
Thats cause they paid in Nice.
It is also because we both didn’t take social security until we were 69 and 70, respectively. Both of us worked until those ages. In my case, continuously since I was 16. My brother has me beat, as he didn’t start receiving SS until he was 71.
The villages is a WILD place. lol.
I’m sad to see the Treeper comments about taxes on SS tho. I was hoping my parents would catch a break on taxes too.
It is wild. The Villages have some of the highest STD rates in the country. People trying to relive their youth.
Don’t forget the pot scrubber, know your color.
I laugh every time I drive by there.
<The Villages have some of the highest STD rates in the country.>
The old men call them fun-gal infections 🙂
Ick. Honestly, a lot of those old hippies who attend the No Kings rallies are probably the ones heading to the doc for cures.
When I recently went to Italy, I noticed the older women dress so classy. Even if they don’t color their hair, it is neat and they dress very stylish. The men are put together as well.
Some of these nitwits in tye dye look so sloppy and unkept. Kinda defies logic how they’re gettin’ all the action (if ya know what I mean).
never put your car keys in a fishbowl when there im told…lol
I’m told the STD rates are higher than FSU (I’m a gator- so we poke fun often-lol)
Of course means testing and charging a fortune for Medicare is not a tax. The graduated scale for Medicare punishes the savers
Anyone old enough to qualify for Medicare has been around long enough to know they always target these tax changes to certain parts of the public. There is rarely reductions across the board. They never want to talk about “income related monthly adjustment amount”. Even the name intended to mislead. It’s not Trump. It’s all pols. That’s how they roll.
Agree that we are being punished for saving during our working lives.
Yes, it’s 6k per person over 65 deduction. It is helpful. It’s not “no taxes on SS.” He wanted it but couldn’t get it. It isn’t codified & will expire. Someone that has his ear said the complete deduction couldn’t be done. Might cost the deficit a couple more trillion. Not complaining. Grateful actually. Just saying at my fixed income in retirement would be tax free with a total SS reduction. That’s federal taxes. Im not going to list the city, county, & state taxes. Gods bless us all.
Tomorrow at Doral Golf Course. Trump’s favorite golfer is winning. My husband is banking on it. Too bad there isn’t some lotto. The Cadillac in the water is awesome. just sayin.
I dunno, I get SS plus a pension plus I have investment income.
I do my own taxes.
I just got a letter from the IRS yesterday saying that I choked on my calculations and that I was getting twice as much back than I had figured and if I wanted to contest the change, I had until June 26.
Yeah, like I’m going to contest that.
They meant if you disagree with increased refund should be higher than they figured, and of coarse you were cheating yourself to begin with.
If you actually made a mistake like that I would re-do the return as you probably have other errors. Note that if you don’t supply a bank routing number and account for a refund it will be months before they cut an actual check.
“Look at all the fake news back there…that’s a lot of fake news…” LOL
Trump is a once in a lifetime personality. 🙂

Does anyone here know what is meant by “300,000 illegal aliens purged from social security roles”? SS Act beneficiaries? Aliens recieving payments?
Some 4 million illegal aliens were given SSNs by the AutoPen administration…
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/amy-curtis/2025/12/02/guess-how-many-illegal-immigrants-received-social-security-numbers-from-the-biden-administration-n2667250
That would mean they could conceivably get payments – including SSI…
Thank you. The numbers and estimates are wild. I wonder if there has been a way to get parents/grandparents enrolled for disbursements soon after arrival in the U.S.
Requirements for noncitizen seniors and children to recieve SSI are at ssa.gov under SSI eligibility requirements.
Still wondering what was done about Jill and Hunter’s AutoPen pardons…
don’t know about Jill but President Trump said Hunter’s pardon was the only one signed by Joe.
Many illegals apply for SSN numbers so they can file tax returns to receive tax refunds. Except many do so to claim refunds to which they are not entitled. I watched a video clip of an accountant that found he had about a dozen tax return clients with the same space address in a mobile home park. These males all had families and were claiming six to a dozen children as dependents. Some had refunds claimed in the thousands of dollars because of the child tax credit. the accountant drove to the trailer park and found his tax return clients were all purportedly living in the same single wide trailer. Every year, the IRS authorizes the treasury department to pay out one to three billion dollars in fraudulent tax refunds. The IRS has failed to do anything about it despite yearly reports of it by the IRS IG.
I’m trying to find the part in My President’s speech where he lays out his detailed plan to eliminate the taxation of my social security benefits
Couldn’t find it
I always never found that check for a HUGE tax refund last year
Instead of staying home all day and pounding a keyboard, I now work TWO full time jobs.
Yes, that’s right, I said TWO full time jobs.
I instructed each of my employers to withhold funds to cover all the customary taxes. BUT I didn’t have anything withheld from my Social Security benefits SO, when taxtime comes, any refund I might have received is offset by the taxes I owe for my SS benefits
In the end, instead of receiving any sort of refund, I wind up PAYING another $5k or $6k
The HUGE SS deduction did NOTHING for me
NOTHING
Mind you, I voted for DJT every time his name was on a ballot
EVERY TIME
And, guess what? Since I’m NOT a WIIFM voter (google it) I would STILL vote for him again
WHY? Because he’s done so much to straighten this country. out. SO MUCH to MAGA! And he’s risked his life to do it!
But let’s not be confused. Let’s not do what the Democrats do
Let’s be honest with ourselves
Congress (and economic practicality) prevented prevented DJT from following through on this one campaign promise.
And I can live with that.
More of a tighten your belt kind of person, however, it must be admitted that it seem this tax time around the lower money citizens didn’t get anything. His first time around was 1200 to all. Thanks to illegals, scams, and fraud the normal citizens didn’t see anything to help dig out of the ditch. Will always support and have faith in our president but congress, not so much.
Whether or not a taxpayer gets a “refund” is entirely up to him. “Refund” is immaterial. What counts is “taxable income” and “tax due” less certain “credits”. In some cases “credits” are refundable, meaning if your “tax due” is zero you get a refund check. Like the “Earned Income Tax Credit”. But unless you are in a zero tax due situation, there is no “refund”. Of course certain “credits” like withholding or estimated payments are applied to your “tax due”.
The whole theory of taxing SS benefits is based on the idea that employers pay 1/2 of the “contribution” from their revenue and thus that was never taxed.
Thanks for “mansplaining” how tax refunds work. Bless your heart.
Now, maybe you can do the same for DJT so he’ll stop telling everyone that our Social Security benefits aren’t being taxed, when they most certainly are.
NO TAX on Social Security is Bull Shite to the Nth Degree of Magnitude!
I filed my tax return on April 14, 2026 and had to pay tax on Social Security just like in past years!
MAGA
No Tax on SS my ars.
Our income tax code is an abomination. Repeal the 16th Amendment and eliminate the income tax that burdens productivity. Our grown children are finding out what a heavy burden the income tax, SS tax, Medicare tax are that is paying for current retirees and drags down their salaries. My husband and I have found out what a fraudulent scam SS & Medicare with its means tested IRMAA are.
