Trump floats idea of making tax cuts permanent in CEO roundtable
Hey there, Morgan, we're learning a little bit more about what former President Donald Trump told American CEO's at a closed door meeting of the Business Roundtable earlier today here in Washington. According to sources in the room and who were briefed on the meeting, Trump told the executives he'd like to make all of the Trump tax cuts from his first term permanent. And he said he'd like to get the corporate tax rate down to 20%. It's currently at 21%. He also talked extensively about his idea for a tax exemption for tips in the service industry. Now, that tip tax exemption is an interesting idea politically, Morgan. There's millions of tipped workers in the United States and in battleground states. Appeal of that idea could be a powerful lure for service industry workers, particularly female service industry workers who might not be entirely comfortable with Trump but who might see the appeal of that idea to them. We're also told that Trump said the wars in Ukraine and Gaza would not have happened if he was in office and that he would, quote, fix them once back in power, back over.
