TRUMP CONSIDERING RAISING TAXES.

The MISTAKE of a LIFETIME

I’ve been a big Trump supporter since the man rode down that golden escalator in 2015. I championed his America First agenda, cheered his 2017 tax cuts, and stood by him through every witch hunt the left threw his way. But if President Trump goes along with this crazy idea to raise corporate taxes, and to create a new 40% tax bracket on millionaires, he’s not just shooting himself in the foot—he’s risking the House, maybe the Senate, and loads of loyal supporters who will turn their backs by shutting down donations to the Republican Party — they will not vote in the upcoming midterms, and in some cases they may vote Democrat in 2028. I guarantee it.

Let’s start with bombshell report that’s got my blood boiling. Reportedly, the White House is quietly floating a proposal to jack up taxes on folks making over $1 million to a whopping 40%. And he is considering adding another percentage point to the tax rate for corporations. What’s next, opening The Trump Abortion Clinic? Is he losing his mind?

One of Trump’s big allies, Rep. Dan Meuser from Pennsylvania, is on Fox News cheerleading this insanity like he’s auditioning for a spot in Biden’s cabinet. Meuser’s got the nerve to say a tiny tax hike could rake in billions—$15 billion for a one-point increase, $25 billion if it hits 39%. Sounds like he’s already counting the cash for Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.” But here’s the kicker: this isn’t just a tax on millionaires and big companies. It’s a dagger aimed at the heart of American businesses, a crushing blow to workers, and it’s going to hurt everyday folks like you and me.

Trump ran on a promise to lower taxes for everyone—individuals, families, and businesses. That’s what got him elected twice. His 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was a game-changer, putting more money in our pockets and letting companies hire, expand, and thrive. Now, with Biden’s inflation leftovers still squeezing our wallets—gas, groceries, you name it—and Trump’s tariffs jacking up prices on almost everything, the last thing we need is a corporate tax hike. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all in on tariffs long-term. They’ll bring manufacturing jobs back to America and stick it to China. But right now, they’re a punch to the gut, with the stock market wobbling and consumers paying more. Piling on higher corporate taxes? That’s pouring gasoline on a fire. It’s dumb — just dumb. You cannot implement tariffs and then tack on higher taxes and expect the economy to thrive. Even a dunce knows never to do such a thing.

Here’s the cold, hard truth: if Trump greenlights this corporate tax hike, he’s handing Democrats a gift-wrapped baseball bat to clobber Republicans in the 2026 midterms. The House, where the GOP’s majority is already razor-thin, will flip faster than you can say “Nancy Pelosi.” The Senate, with its shaky three-seat edge, could follow. Voters like me didn’t sign up for higher taxes—we voted for prosperity, not punishment. Companies won’t forget this betrayal either. They bankrolled Trump’s campaign expecting a business-friendly White House, not a tax-happy one. If they get burned, they’ll sit on their wallets in 2028, Vance will lose, our country is lost, and Trump’s legacy will take the hit.

We are already feeling the pinch from inflation and tariffs. Most people see higher than reasonable grocery bills, our 401(k)’s are taking a beating, and now we’re supposed to cheer for a tax hike that’ll cost jobs and stall the economy? No way.

I took a lot of heat from people when I stuck with Trump on his tariffs — I told everyone it is a long term plan that will pay off in the end. Well, I am not saying the same thing about raising taxes at any level. If Trump does this, even I will fold. Why? Because I will no longer believe in his plan. It can’t work.

TAXES SUCK
It will get harder and harder to keep waving the Trump flag when he’s punishing his own voters. Raising taxes on successful people, and on corporations is a plan that kills jobs, kills momentum, kills GDP, and kills election wins. I am SHOCKED that he and his team are floating this idea — it sounds like they are reading from the Bernie / AOC playbook.

Meuser — with his Fox News appearances — might think he’s helping sell tax hikes and his $25 billion revenue fantasy, but he’s clueless about the carnage this will cause. I REPEAT: Higher corporate taxes mean less hiring, fewer raises, and more companies cutting back. The MAGA movement will lose all momentum — and Trump’s approval rating with crash as the American Dream will slip further out of reach.

President Trump, listen: you’ve got a mandate to make America great again, not to make it a tax-and-spend nightmare. Ditch this corporate tax hike nonsense, fire whoever’s whispering it in your ear, and tell Meuser to go back to selling scooters (his job before Congress). If you don’t, you’re not just risking the House and Senate—you’re risking the trust of people like me who’ve had your back through thick and thin. Don’t make us regret it.
