True, which makes this weird. He is trying to speak to desires of NY here, I think, specifically lowering taxes/cost of living. But I dont think what he says according to the article is consistent with his previous policy.
unclebankster Wins a chicken dinner.
This Boneheaded tax increase on millions of Trump voters in NY and CA and other high-tax states should never have happened. When did Republicans become leftists and cheer for tax increases?
He’s now preaching repeal because he needs a Red Wave to govern effectively and these tax cuts could help:

“Trump’s rally Wednesday night was in Uniondale, an area that could be key to Republicans maintaining control of the House. His party is trying to protect 18 Republicans in Democratic-heavy congressional districts that Joe Biden carried in 2020, particularly in coastal New York and California, and going on offense to challenge Democrats elsewhere.
“Long Island in particular features one of the most closely watched races, between first-term Republican Rep. Anthony D’Esposito and Democrat Laura Gillen. D’Esposito is a former New York Police detective who won in 2022 in a district that Biden won by about 15 percentage points in 2020.
“Trump posted Tuesday on his Truth Social platform that the GOP has “a real chance of winning” New York “for the first time in many decades.” In that same post, Trump also pledged that he would “get SALT back,” suggesting he would eliminate a cap on state and local tax deductions that were part of tax cut legislation he signed into law in 2017.
“The so-called SALT cap has led to bigger tax bills for many residents of New York, New Jersey, California and other high-cost, high-tax states, and is an important campaign issue in those states, particularly among those New York Republicans serving in districts Biden won.”
