October 16: Another Woman Comes Forward with Story of Donald Trump Forcibly Trying to Kiss Her
In the late ’90s, Heller says she was at a brunch at Mar-a-Lago — which she believes was on Mother’s Day — with her in-laws and children when her mother-in-law, a club member, introduced her to Trump.
Heller says she extended her hand to shake Trump’s, but he took it and pulled her towards him to kiss her on the mouth.
She pulled away and said no, she alleges. “He said ‘Oh, come on’ and he was angry,” Heller says. “He really grabbed me and he was holding me very tight to kiss me on the mouth.
A relative who was behind Heller when it happened tells PEOPLE: “I saw her moving back, trying to escape his grasp and he kept moving forward and it was almost like he was falling forward.
“And she turned around and said, ‘Oh my gosh, did you see what happened?’ and she was upset about it and it was in plain view,” recalls the relative, who wishes to remain anonymous due to a fear of retaliation.

“It was like, ‘This gross guy, who does he think he is, he was falling on top of her to kiss her and in front of everyone,” says the relative. “How entitled does this guy think he is?”

September 22: Entitlements ... Where does Donald Trump stand?
The future of entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare is the subject of fierce partisan debate--and something each candidate is asked about during a presidential race.
This year, though, neither Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton nor Republican nominee Donald Trump have said they plan to cut Social Security benefits, though each has something different to say about how they would preserve the benefits that are currently in place.

December 21: The Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell broke with fellow Republicans twice Thursday when he said he didn't expect Senate Republicans to address entitlement reform in 2018 or take another swing at repealing or replacing the Affordable Care Act.
The Kentucky Republican said at an event Thursday he "would not expect to see" the Senate tackle entitlement reform next year, signaling a break from his counterpart in the House on the Republican agenda in 2018.
"I think that Democrats will not be interested in entitlement reform," McConnell said at the event. "So I would not expect to see that on the agenda."

May 31: The U.S. national debt is once again raising alarm bells. Federal borrowing from outside investors expanded rapidly over the past decade, totaling more than $15 trillion in 2018, and it is projected to grow even faster over the next ten years under current law. Major budget legislation signed by President Donald J. Trump, along with continued growth in entitlements and higher interest rates, will see the debt nearly double by 2028 [PDF], coming close to the size of the entire U.S. economy.

September 17: Top White House official eyes entitlement cuts ‘next year’
http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/top-white-house-official-eyes-entitlement-cuts-next-year
September 18: President Donald Trump's top economic advisor has given Democrats fresh ammunition for one of their most used midterm attacks.
Asked Monday if the Trump administration would address "entitlement reform," White House chief economic advisor Larry Kudlow said it will "probably" look at "larger entitlements" next year. Entitlement reform generally refers to changes or cuts to large government social programs such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid or food stamps.
"I don't want to be specific, I don't want to get ahead of our own budgeting, but we'll get there," Kudlow said at the Economic Club of New York. "But I agree, we have to be tougher on spending."
