Donald Trump supported the idea of raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans on Friday, while publicly resisting the politics of such a move and suggesting that his Republicans should “probably” oppose the action.
Trump's public deliberation on social media is in his relationship with R-La. House Speaker Mike Johnson contacted the top income and expenditure bill on the major tax and expenditure bills that the Republicans intend to pass this year.
It's the latest signal that Trump (whose agendas all rely on what he calls "a big and beautiful bill," and after a split Congress he is willing to tax traditional Republican orthodoxy.
Trump said in the Fact Social Post Friday morning that he and everything else would "receive generously" even for "small taxes" from the "rich" to get "low and middle-income workers."
But, the “problem” of the idea, he wrote, is that the radical left-wing Democrats would scream, ‘read my lips,’ lip,’ the legend of George Bush, who is said to have paid him. ”
“Even if I and everyone else would accept the “miniature” tax issue for the rich) to help low- and middle-income workers, this is, radical left Democrats would scream. - Donald Trump, Truth Social Job
Trump refers to the then-George HW Bush's 1988 campaign promise that he would not raise the presidential tax. Bush's ultimate failure to keep that promise created a major goal for his political opponents and was seen as a factor in his losses in the 1992 election.
Trump's position brings this history. "No, Ross Perot lost his election!" he wrote.
"Republicans probably shouldn't do that anyway," Trump added.
But, obviously, he turned himself around and he wrote, “If they do, I can do it!!!”
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said late Friday, late Friday, requesting clear statements on whether Trump wants to raise the highest interest rate.
"As for the policy proposals you are talking about, the president himself said he himself didn't mind paying more to help the poor, the middle class and the working class in this country," Levitt said.
She added: "I think, frankly, it's a very honorable position. But these negotiations are underway on Capitol Hill and the President will be shocked when he feels necessary."
Trump’s position could put more pressure on Republican leaders who are already working to create a bill that meets his demand for a large number of major tax cuts without increasing the deficit that the party’s fiscal Hawks would not vote for it.
Trump promised on the campaign that as president, he would remove taxes on overtime pay, tips from service staff and social security for the elderly, while expanding corporate tax relief implemented in the first semester of 2017.
Politico first reported that the Chairperson of the House of Representatives Committee R-Mo. Rep. Jason Smith is planning to meet with Trump on Friday.
According to Politico, Johnson told Republicans they would not be able to pay the $4.5 trillion tax cut they had been targeting before.
CNBC reported that Trump raised the idea of a higher tax advantage in a call with Johnson on Wednesday, despite the fact that small businesses have a small business cargo.
NBC News reported that Trump also proposed to close the "carrying interest loophole", a feature of Wall Street investors exploiting the tax laws.
