Former President Donald Trump is being “utterly irresponsible” with his all-over-the-place promises on tax policies, said National Review senior writer Charles C.W. Cooke.
The Republican nominee promised on Thursday to the Detroit Economic Club (in the same speech in which he trashed the city) to make interest on car loans tax deductible if he wins back the White House. He’s previously pledged to nix taxes on tips, on overtime pay and on Social Security benefits.
Cooke wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “As I pointed out last month, Trump is literally going to every single place he needs to win and saying ‘... and YOU and YOUR customers won’t have to pay taxes any more!’”
“It’s utterly irresponsible,” he argued.
Cooke shared a column that he wrote for the National Review in September in which he said Trump “thinks that these declarations will be popular among the groups he needs to win — and hasn’t considered them beyond that.”
But if Trump does win, he suggested, he’ll be “presented with the near-impossible challenge of pulling his many random utterings into one place and attempting to make them cohere.” That won’t be so easy, said Cooke.
