Independently re-checked all three cited sources: all are real, live, and accurately quoted. PolitiFact's MAGA-Meter promise (#1645) is live and rated 'In the Works' with a Feb 19, 2026 update headlined 'No direct benefit cuts to Social Security and Medicare, but some changes could have impacts.' FactCheck.org (Oct 2025) states verbatim: 'As president, Trump has not proposed cutting Social Security or Medicare benefits' and distinguishes Medicaid cuts from Medicare. CRFB's 2026 Trustees Report analysis confirms OASI insolvency in 2032 and that OBBBA 'reduced the actuarial balance by 0.16% of payroll by reducing revenue collected from the income taxation of Social Security benefits' - about a quarter of the year-over-year deterioration. I additionally verified the protective side the prior rating credited: CRFB confirms the November 2025 shutdown-ending CR wiped the roughly $3.4 trillion statutory PAYGO scorecard, preventing the OBBBA-triggered Medicare sequestration (CRFB puts the first-year Medicare piece at ~$45B; I could not verify the prior rating's precise '$536B' figure, so I do not rely on it). I also corroborated SSA workforce losses of roughly 7,000-7,800 (~13%) with field-office closures and degraded appointment/processing times. Balancing both directions under a party-neutral standard: real affirmative protection (no enacted or proposed benefit cuts; signing the CR that averted the automatic Medicare sequestration) alongside real affirmative harm (OBBBA worsening OASI solvency, Medicare eligibility restrictions for certain lawfully present immigrants, the Medicare Savings Program enrollment rule blocked to 2034, and materially worse SSA service access). That is 'kept some but not all of it.' FULL would ignore documented harms; MISALIGNED/HOSTILE would ignore the preserved benefit levels and the affirmative sequestration waiver, and no neutral tracker rates this promise broken. I would apply the identical label to a Democratic president with this record. Confidence held at 0.7 because 'always protect' is an inherently vague standard and the leading independent tracker still has the promise open rather than resolved.
