🧵 Donald Trump pretends to be populist, but his top economic adviser just said he wants to block senior citizens from retirement.
Stephen Moore, his buffoonish oligarch-fluffer, just said this: "Getting older people to stay in the workforce longer is a high national priority."

1. This isn’t the first time that Trump proposed an idea that experts argued jeopardized Social Security and Medicare’s finances. He did the same in the summer of 2020 with a payroll tax cut meant to provide another batch of relief during the pre-vaccine era of the pandemic. The Biden campaign cut an attack ad assailing the proposal as a cut to Social Security, though fact-checkers at the time said it was “oversimplified.” It’s possible the Harris campaign replays the 2020 Biden playbook. THE VIEW FROM A TRUMP ADVISER Stephen Moore, an economic advisor to Trump, told Semafor the former president’s proposal was “ingenious.” “Getting older people to stay in the workforce longer is a high national priority,” Moore said. “I’m sure Trump will roll out more in the weeks ahead. Dems are mad they didn’t think of this.”
