Celebrating the 90th Anniversary of Social Security and Its Protection

• Trump celebrates the 90th anniversary of the social security program in the USA.
• The program faces financial challenges that could lead to cuts in benefits.
• The majority of Americans support the protection of social security from cuts.

On August 14, 2025, the USA celebrated the 90th anniversary of the social security program, established on August 14, 1935, by President Franklin Roosevelt. This program provides financial support for elderly individuals, widows, and people with disabilities, serving as a crucial element of social safety for millions of Americans.

During the celebration, President Donald Trump emphasized the importance of the program, stating that it will remain a reliable lifeline for the next 90 years. He signed a proclamation in which he expressed his support for social security, noting that the program is essential for those who have worked for the good of the nation.

However, the program faces financial challenges. According to recent estimates, the social security trust fund could be depleted by 2032. If this happens without action from Congress, benefits could be cut by 19% or more.

Social security is considered one of the most effective anti-poverty programs in the USA. Many Americans believe this program is vital for their lives, with 79% of respondents opposing any cuts. Surveys show that most people want Congress to prioritize funding for the program as soon as possible.

Trump, despite criticism of his administration for potentially weakening the program, asserts that he protects social security and plans to strengthen its funding. However, analysts point out risks associated with tax changes that could shorten the time until the program goes bankrupt.
