SAN BRUNO (KPIX) — A small but determined group of seniors gathered along El Camino Real outside the Tanforan Mall on Sunday, holding signs and voicing opposition to President Donald Trump's policies, which they say threaten the programs they rely on most.

Claudia Zeiler, an 80-year-old protester, stood among the others with a firm message.

"I need Social Security. I need Medicare. I have an autistic grandchild who needs all the care she can get," Zeiler said. "We had said we'd leave the country if this started, but I think we're here to fight."
Despite Trump's repeated assurances that he would not cut Social Security, many at the rally expressed deep skepticism. They accuse him of taking from the poor to give tax breaks to the rich.
