Trump is continuing, Huey Long-style, to outpromise his opponent: The car loan tax break!
And now ... it’s his - “tax deduction on generators!”.
Trump on truth social:
"North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee and, always, Louisiana, Texas, and other States: Due to the unusual activity of Storms, Hurricanes, and Tornadoes, and other Natural Disasters, especially in well-reported parts of our Country, when I win the Presidential Election of 2024, on November 5th, the Most Important Day in the History of our Country, we are going to allow you, retroactive to September 1st, 2024, to purchase a Generator for your Home, which will, in so doing, entitle you to fully deduct the TOTAL cost of said Generator for Income Tax Purposes. With what our Country is going through, and with the poor response you’re getting from the White House and the Federal Government, including Lyin’ Kamala Harris and Crooked Joe Biden, this is something you fully deserve. This Tax Deduction is available until August 31st, 2025."
Free generators! And the Gulf of Mexico will pay for it. How soon do we get to a free! pony! for everyone?
Typical Right Wing Populist tactic, and Trump used it in 2016, and people bought his promises. He only kept two - He got rid of Roe (something he never promised as such, IIRC) and lowered taxes on millionaires. he lost in 2020 as people saw that. Have they forgotten? People are going to be going out buying a generator that they most likely can't afford. They deserve what they get.
