Trump says 88% of US retirees will now pay zero taxes on Social Security -- but can the 'big beautiful bill' hurt you?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : Back on July 1, the White House issued a statement claiming that "88% of all seniors who receive Social Security -- will pay NO TAX on their Social Security benefits" because of President Donald Trump's new "One Big Beautiful Bill."
53% : However, even the White House acknowledges that about 64% of Social Security recipients already paid no federal tax on their benefits before the new law, thanks to existing deductions and exemptions.
47% : It's also worth noting that the White House's figures consider only beneficiaries aged 65 and over, but Social Security can be claimed as early as 62, meaning a portion of the recipient population is excluded from their estimate.
32% : According to the CBPP, this falls far short of Trump's campaign promise to eliminate all taxes on Social Security.
