If trump cuts one damn thing that affects senior citizens adversely, like medicare or medicaid, he can kiss the presidency good by.
Geezers vote and they vote for self preservation and health, that's about all they care about.
In all, the White House is seeking to cut $4.4 trillion in federal spending over the next 10 years, including reductions in spending on food stamps and federal disability benefits through more stringent work and eligibility requirements.
