4. Tariffs (waiting verification)

Kinda funny that he needs a tariff against Mexico when his USMCA is supposedly the greatest deal of all time.

"Trump proposed a 10% tariff on all U.S. imports and a 60% levy on Chinese-made products, which if enacted would affect the entire economy by pushing consumer prices higher and stoking retaliatory levies on American exports. Trump also threatened to impose a 25% tariff on all imports from Mexico."

People can’t have it both ways. We won’t cheap stuff and we want everything we see which means it must be built in cheap labor countries but we want jobs in America.

I am probably not the guy to ask.
I’m very cynical so I’m putting it at 23%

 

[McDad]

15% tax rate may not qualify as promise, pledge, or proposal. Need something more conclusive than this (which is the only kind of stuff I can find.

Sep 6, 2024 — Former President Trump said he supports lowering the corporate tax rate only for companies that manufacture products in the United States.

I'm interested in the "no tax on Social Security" proposal. If that passes I'm taking it early.

I assume the income offsets will still be in place if one takes SS early. I’m toying with the same idea as well. I’ve got a several years to ponder it.
