Trump Flirts With Millionaires Tax, But Fears Political Backlash

President Donald Trump has expressed openness to increasing taxes on millionaires, saying he 'loves the concept' and wouldn't mind paying more himself. However, he admits that supporting such a tax could be politically risky and might cost Republicans elections. This stance appears to contradict some of his previous statements and faces strong opposition within the GOP. The discussion comes as scrutiny continues over Trump's own relatively low federal tax payments in recent years. Ultimately, Trump suggests that while he supports the idea in theory, he is unlikely to pursue it due to potential public and political resistance.

The desire to win elections sometimes gets in the way of our elected officials doing their job and doing the right thing.

Trump hits ‘nasty’ Michelle Obama at Atlanta rally

Former President Trump attacked former first lady Michelle Obama during his rally in Atlanta on Monday, calling her “nasty” after Obama lobbed attacks at the former president while stumping for Vice President Harris.“You know who’s nasty to me? Michelle Obama,” Trump told supporters in Atlanta.“I always tried to be so nice and respectful. Oh, she opened up a little bit of — a little bit of a box. She opened up a little bit of something. Oh, she was nasty. Shouldn’t be that way. That was a big mistake that she made,” he added.His remarks come after Obama criticized Trump during a Michigan rally on Saturday, at one point mentioning “Donald Trump’s gross incompetence.”“I hope that you’ll forgive me if I’m a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse, all of this while we pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that he doesn’t even have the courage to do, y’all,” she said in Kalamazoo, Mich.The heated rhetoric underscores the increasingly personal tone the presidential election has taken between the two campaigns roughly one week out from the election.An aggregate of national surveys compiled by The Hill/Decision Desk HQ shows Harris slightly ahead at close to 49 percent support while Trump is at 48 percent.
