President Joe Biden on Monday quickly slapped down Donald Trump's suggestion in a CNBC interview that "there is a lot" that can be done in terms of cutting the government programs Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
"Not on my watch," Biden said in a social media post on X in response to a video of Trump's comment that was posted by his reelection campaign.
The White House also issued a statement calling the idea of cutting Social Security and Medicaid "exactly backwards."
Trump was asked Monday by CNBC's Joe Kernen on "Squawk Box" if he had changed his "outlook on how to handle entitlements: Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid."
There is tremendous amounts of things, and numbers of things, you can do," Trump said.
