Nearly 500 people turned out in an eastern Michigan town to protest what they believe is an attempt to do away with Social Security and Medicare by the Trump administration, despite President Donald Trump’s vows that Social Security and Medicare are exempt from budget cuts, which are designed to reduce the federal deficit and ultimately the national debt.

The Saturday, April 5, the Port Huron event, was held at Pine Grove Park on the banks of the St. Clair River and coincided with hundreds of similar protests around the country.
