President Trump said Monday that he’s eyeing another major government reform — this time tackling welfare.

He said some recipients are taking advantage of public assistance while others in need don’t get it.

Mr. Trump is currently trying to push a major tax-code overhaul through Congress, a huge undertaken that follows a failed effort for major health care legislation that would have repealed Obamacare.
