President Trump wrote an Op-ed piece for USA Today. USA Today reportedly has the largest circulation of any paper in the U.S.
Unfortunately, the Op-ed is filled with false claims and rhetoric -- much of it aimed at scaring senior citizens in regards to healthcare reform options under exploration by Democrats and Independents.
Healthcare is a big vulnerability for Republicans up for reelection in November and seniors are a key demographic of Trump's core base.
In the Op-ed Trump claims that a future Medicare For All (aka universal health care / single-payer) plan would rob seniors of their Medicare, which makes no sense whatsoever.
Medicare For All would, as the name obviously entails, expand Medicare coverage to include people other than senior citizens and increase its benefits to seniors as well.
