The Social Security Administration this week sent out an email to many Americans celebrating the passage of President Donald Trump’s domestic policy bill, and touting the measure’s tax relief for seniors, in a move that analysts said strayed from the agency’s typically apolitical nature.

Trump also vowed to protect Social Security while on the campaign trail, and he has repeated that promise since returning to the White House. "I'm not going to touch Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid," Trump told Fox News in March. He also promised to rid the retirement program of fraud.

The bill creates a new deduction specifically for seniors 65 and over, which would relieve the tax burden on some 88% of them.
