Trump’s “No Tax” Promises: Broken and Replaced by Lies
Despite promises to eliminate taxes on Social Security benefits, overtime, and tip income, Donald Trump has been falsely claiming success on these fronts. The recent tax and spending bill provides only temporary and partial relief, contrasting with Trump’s frequent assertions that these pledges have been fulfilled. These claims, however, ignore the limitations of the bill, which offers limited deductions and fails to make the provisions permanent, in addition to the potential for increased taxes due to proposed import taxes. The actual tax breaks and deductions provided are far less significant than what Trump has claimed, leading to accusations of misrepresentation.
