What would Team Trump do with a second term? Another round of corporate tax breaks is a top priority. It's a debate Democrats are eager to have.
, which has not been independently verified by MSNBC or NBC News, members of Team Trump are prepared to slash it again, “potentially to as low as 15 percent.”
There’s no reason to believe this would be a political winner for the former president or his party. VotersBut Team Trump has made it a priority anyway. Taking a step back, there are a couple of broader takeaways to keep in mind. The first is that there’s occasional chatter among Republican officials about the GOP positioning itself as the party of working-class voters. Such talk has long been ridiculous, but the focus on another round of regressive corporate tax breaks obliterates the idea altogether.
“Donald Trump is plotting to bring back the failed, trickle-down policies of his first term that lined the pockets of his ultra-wealthy friends and created incentives for corporations to ship American jobs overseas. This is the story of the Trump economy — blowing up the deficit to help out his wealthy friends at the expense of hardworking Americans and their families.
There are plenty of issues that Democrats will be eager to talk about over the next year or so, but the party knows full well that Trump and the GOP suffered in the polls after ramming through a package of unpopular and unnecessary tax cuts in 2017, and Democrats would love little more than a spirited debate over the need — or lack thereof — of corporate tax breaks ahead of Election Day 2024.
