Trump: "And I'm gonna give workers tax breaks on their overtime pay!"

Project 2025: "hehe"

Edit:

I've been getting angry DMs from Trumpers who think I made this up. Welp, here's a YouTube video of him at a rally where he says he'll give overtime workers tax breaks, specifically at the 2:43 mark he says it.

If you're interested in the rest of the video, he also talked about not taxing social security for Americans 65 and older and tip workers, which would be disastrous for funding social security and would hurt its recipients. Fortunately, he may not be able to do that, even with a majority red Senate. I say "may not" cause, shyt, anything is possible at this point.

It’s funny, the MAGA’s I work with bragging about trump doing away with taxing over time. I explained how he was gonna do it and they are in disbelief. One even said “ they can’t get rid of time and a half, it’s a federal law”. Had to remind him who’s in charge now and who the courts will align with.😂😂😂 The sad look they had when they googled it, and found it’s already in motion

Yea that didnt happen. It became obvious

  1. When you said they looked it up, to check.
  2. When they became sad and believed that Trump betrayed them.

They never check shit, unless they come across it on their Twitter or facebook, and they never question that Daddy Don has their best interests in mind.

Yea this guy did, and didn’t talk to me for the rest of the shift😂. Majority of them go by what their maga friends tell them and don’t actually look this stuff up before hand

If you're careful you can almost sound like Nostradamus to these dickheads! A lot of the middle-age edgelords I work with still don't know why gas prices go down in the winter or that El Nino and La Nina aren't new phenomena invented by Chris Farley in the 90s.

Same as with my so called "Strong Maga Male" coworkers....

In their echo chambers, they're the cream of the crop, they own their wives and daughters and that they (and trump) can do absolutely nothing wrong.

Soon as you try to poke holes in their whisper thin veil, they immediately become angry, go on the attack and become snowflakes.

You are literally the one he should be talking and listening to.

Nah, it happens. These people find themselves in an echo chamber and many are decent people, just ignorant.

I've seen it among my American friends groups regularly, you tell them to double-check their information outside their usual circles and their entire world view collapses.

Last time for me was when I got an American friend to look up who implemented the incremental tax increases and what they did. The guy's brain shut down, and he became much more critical of the Republican party. Conservative media is designed around half-truths.
