Trump and Scalise Discuss Tax Increases and Border Security

In a recent Fox News interview, Donald Trump expressed strong opposition to the tax policies proposed by Vice President Kamala Harris, claiming they could lead to severe economic downturns. Trump emphasized that while he aims for lower taxes, Harris's plans could increase tax burdens on individuals and companies significantly, potentially pushing the country into a depression. The discussion shifted to the issue of rising interest rates, resulting in an increased difficulty for Americans to secure mortgages and achieve their 'American Dream'. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise backed Trump’s concerns, defending a border security bill (HR2) passed by the House, which Trump considers essential for effective immigration control. Scalise criticized Harris for opposing this bill and insisted that it would provide a more secure border. The dialogue also touched on the implications of maintaining an open border, citing tragic consequences of illegal immigration. Both emphasized the need for fiscal responsibility and effective governance, hinting at political alliances that could bring about these changes. Trump's messaging about lower taxes and secure borders resonates with many disenchanted voters, emphasizing the importance of leadership that prioritizes the needs of working families.
