For decades, Republicans have wanted to privatize Social Security. Donald Trump has been relentless in his attack in what seems like a bid to destroy the Social Security Administration.

The question is why?

Why would he destroy the agency if the goal was to privatize the operation? Wouldn’t he just privatize it?

Rachel Maddow had an interesting thought on her show.

Maddow said:

 We now know that one of the reasons apparently that they are tanking Social Security and destroying that agency and making it unusable and no longer functional for the people who depend on Social Security every month is apparently because they're stripping it down for parts.

While Social Security recipients have not been able to get through to Social Security either on the phone. Or online or in person, and people are starting to miss Social Security checks and they're firing thousands of people who work at Social Security. The Administration has also reportedly converted the data systems from the Social Security Agency to be used as a way to target immigrants, so we can't get people their checks anymore. B

ut Social Security Administration data systems are being used to target immigrants by having the Social Security system declare immigrants dead in order to mess with them and make it impossible for them to live. I mean, that's a, that's a thing that they're doing.

The goal isn’t just to break Social Security for the people who are currently on it. The goal is also to tear down the Social Security Administration and use its vast resources to target immigrants and carry out other parts of the Trump agenda.

Trump is stealing the Social Security resources that were paid for and maintained by the paychecks of the American people for decades.

This is your money. Social Security is your agency, and Donald Trump is breaking it and taking it for his own purposes.
