WASHINGTON, D.C. — Former President Donald Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., accused Vice President Kamala Harris of appropriating a key tax proposal from his father’s platform, following a statement from the Trump campaign suggesting that Harris has adopted the “No Tax on Tips” proposal ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
This comes just days after her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz caught ‘flak’ for claiming he fought during wartime, which he never did.
Walz is being haunted by his claim of carrying weapons of war, while in war. His official Department of Defense records show that he was never deployed to a warzone. The closest he came to combat was a short stint as a National Guardsman in Italy.
In a tweet posted 34 minutes ago, Trump Jr. claimed that Harris and her potential running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, were guilty of “stolen proposals and stolen valor.”
The tweet was in response to an earlier post from the Trump campaign’s official War Room account, which accused Harris of political opportunism and asserted that she would not follow through on the tax proposal.
Vice President Kamala Harris has jumped into the 2024 tax debate with a headline-grabbing proposal: eliminating federal taxes on tips for service workers. The twist? It’s eerily similar to a plan Donald Trump floated just months ago, sparking chatter that Harris might be borrowing a page from his playbook to win over working-class voters.
Critics are divided. Some see it as a smart move to appeal to service industry workers, while others argue it’s a blatant attempt to steal Trump’s thunder. The debate is heating up as both candidates vie for support from the same key voter base.
The Trump campaign has highlighted the “No Tax on Tips” proposal as a significant aspect of Trump’s economic agenda, aimed at easing the tax burden on service industry workers. The Harris campaign has not yet responded to the accusations.
The exchange comes as the 2024 presidential campaign intensifies, with both parties scrutinizing each other’s platforms and proposals.
