Donald Trump promises to abolish tax on overtime if he wins election

Donald Trump on Thursday unveiled a new part of his populist economic program: he promises to abolish the overtime tax.

This follows his promises to end the tip tax and Social Security benefits for seniors. These ideas are wildly popular, but they lack the financial backing and are likely to increase the national debt unless tax increases are made elsewhere.

He made his pledge at a raucous rally in Tucson, Arizona, where he said it was time for working men and women to “take a break.”

“I am also announcing that as part of our additional tax cuts, we will eliminate all taxes on overtime,” he said.

“You know what that means? I think it motivates people more to work. It gives the companies a lot … it’s a lot easier to get people.”

The promise angered the crowd in a state that has had one of the highest inflation rates in the country over the past four years.

Both Trump and Kamala Harris have unorthodox ideas for alleviating the cost of living crisis.

The Democratic candidate has proposed some form of central price control to prevent corporations from profiting from it, and has adopted Trump’s promise to protect income from tipping.

On Thursday afternoon, Trump said his new policy would apply to earnings after 40 hours per week.

“So no tax on Social Security for our wonderful seniors, and this last one is no tax at all… you work your ass off, no tax on overtime, and that’s so good for workers,” he said.

Both candidates traveled to key states to build tension after Tuesday’s debate.

Harris was in North Carolina, holding rallies in Charlotte and Greensboro, to further bolster her supporters after a strong performance that left Trump off-balance and on the defensive in their first head-to-head meeting.

Her team studied the 90-minute debate and incorporated clips from it into TV commercials.

Meanwhile, Trump was trying to stabilize his campaign, which had been in turmoil since Harris unexpectedly entered the race in July.

The event was billed as a speech to address the crippling prices people in Arizona face

After commemorating the anniversary of 9/11 on Wednesday, Donald Trump was back on the campaign trail on Thursday, with a rally in Tucson, Arizona, a must-win state

He also tried to recover from Tuesday’s debate, where a series of short polls suggested viewers thought his opponent had performed best that night.

Trump disagreed with criticism that he appeared angry.

“People said I was angry about the debate, angry,” he told the rapturous crowd at the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall.

“I was angry, and yes, I am angry because she let 21 million illegal aliens into our communities. Many of them are criminals.”

Trump was clearly shocked by Harris’ attacks on Tuesday and was prompted to repeat a right-wing online rumor that illegal immigrants were stealing and eating pets.

He was back on the campaign trail on Thursday to get his election campaign back on track in a crucial state.

He did so in typical Trump fashion: he made no apologies for his anger and repeated the claim about migrants, cats and dogs.

He said 911 calls in Springfield, Ohio, showed migrants running away with geese.

“The migrants are running away with the geese from the city. They’ve taken the geese with them,” he said. “You know where the geese are in the park, in the lake, and even running away with their pets

“My dog ​​has been taken.”
