One messaging problem for Trump on taxes is that he tends to overpromise, as he’s done in repeatedly pledging victory over Covid-19. While running for president in 2015, he told Bloomberg he would cut taxes on the middle class but raises them on himself and other rich people: "That's right. That's right. I'm OK with it,” he said. “You've seen my statements, I do very well, I don't mind paying some taxes.” That, of course, is not the way things turned out—even setting aside the fact that Trump used accounting maneuvers to lower his own federal income taxes in 2017 to $750, according to documents obtained by the New York Times.
