On Monday, we posted an editorial reflecting our most recent I&I/TIPP poll, which found that by a 4-to-1 margin, Americans think their taxes have gone up, despite the seven major tax cuts contained in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
(See: “This I&I/TIPP Poll Is A Warning: Trump Needs To Do A Much Better Job Selling His Tax Cuts.”)
“Our poll findings should be a red flag for President Donald Trump,” we wrote, and went on to say:
He needs to do a much better job of telling the public the truth about the tax cuts he signed into law. About how they are benefiting working-class families. About how his policies are accelerating economic growth.
Yes, we know, Trump has talked about his tax cuts. But clearly not enough. Certainly not enough to overcome the Democrats’ and the media’s chorus of lies.
Trump knows how to sell stuff. So why isn’t he and his administration out there selling his tax cuts and his economic growth message, day in and day out?
Well, Thursday morning, we came across this headline in Newsmax: “Trump to Promote Tax Breaks in Las Vegas.”
While in Vegas, Newsmax says, Trump will “hold a roundtable with several police officers who have benefited from new tax breaks on overtime, along with a barber and a casino pit supervisor, who got to claim the new tax breaks on tips.”
Now, of course, we can’t be sure that Trump read our editorial and said, “You know, those fellas at Issues & Insights are right!”
But we will take credit for it nonetheless.
