Reminder: No matter what Vance says, Project 2025 is an “undeniably Trump-driven operation” with deep ties to the Trump-Vance ticket.

JD Vance backed Donald Trump’s MAGAnomics tax scam that gave handouts to the ultra-wealthy at the expense of the middle class — and he’s ready to help Trump take it even further with their Project 2025 agenda.

Vance on Trump’s plan that would raise tariffs and raise costs for hardworking Americans: “This is a fascinating proposal and we could talk for a while about it.”

Vance: “The left attacked Donald Trump for those tax cuts and said that they would actually make the deficit worse … I think that we have a pretty common sense regulatory and tax agenda.”

Trump: “You’re all people that have a lot of money … You’re rich as hell. … We’re gonna give you tax cuts.”

Bloomberg: “[Trump] intends to center his economic plans on extending and deepening the Republican tax cuts from 2017.”

Washington Post: “Trump and his advisers have discussed deeper cuts to both individual and corporate tax rates that would build on his controversial 2017 tax law … Further cutting corporate taxes … would primarily benefit large firms.”
