*TRUMP PUSHED BACK ON SALT LAWMAKERS IN GOP MEETING: REP. AMODEI

Comments

He's not smart enough to realize that his hate for NY/CA is detrimental to the slight edge Republicans won in the house and he wants to be retained in 26. He cannot look that far forward.

He knows the salt stuff benefits blue states

conorsen.bsky.social•37 days ago

I think he just wants the holdouts to stop holding out, he doesn’t particularly care about the details/sticking points.

peark.es•37 days ago

yeah, but he's pushing against them instead of against the rest of the caucus. why not say "just give them what they want".

82321.bsky.social•37 days ago

Correctly sees them as the most likely to fold with the least effort

johnnyboysezer97.bsky.social•37 days ago

They’ll fold, they always do

onekneedjacks.bsky.social•37 days ago

He's going for speed. Wants a signing ceremony and a victory lap before public opinion mounts against the bill or something else threatens passage.

Getting everyone on board with whatever the current plan is should be faster than messing with anything. Also, he just doesn't care about SALT.

bsky.vitriol.net•37 days ago

The SALT group is a pretty specific group and largely not sympathetic to anyone outside that small group. So it's easy to push against them.

jjarchitect.bsky.social•37 days ago

Nicole reps the Red Borough, and if she goes against the Orange, the Island is up for grabs in the midterms

an-elk.bsky.social•37 days ago

Because they're mostly from blue states.

mcmanus.bsky.social•37 days ago

Their thinking may be that a mountain of money can get those vulnerable blue state Dems across the finish line in 2026 without SALT.

peark.es•37 days ago

So there was apparently a lot of shouting at the SALT meeting.

*TRUMP: DENIES THAT HE'S LOSING PATIENCE OVER HIS TAX BILL
*TRUMP SAYS THERE WAS 'NO SHOUTING' IN MEETING WITH HOUSE GOP

donek311.bsky.social•37 days ago

Sounds like he was a bit SALTY

mode23.bsky.social•37 days ago

so there was shouting

vegavandal.bsky.social•37 days ago

Man I wish I had been there. This is me all day

milksteakops.bsky.social•37 days ago

chunkylumplump.bsky.social•37 days ago

chump denies using salt.
"it's very bad for you, we've got entire oceans full of this stuff, I don't know why Morton's thinks we would buy more of it."

chunkylumplump.bsky.social•37 days ago

people are saying it was the best shouting.

robpollard45.bsky.social•37 days ago

Always good to see a "Please don't put in the newspapers that I got mad" in the wild.

pauljdavies.bsky.social•37 days ago

Looking forward to the truth post that says: The reports are LIES and completely MADE UP by the fake media. The truth (as they "KNOW") is that there was NO SHOUTING!!!

ijspurcell.bsky.social•36 days ago

hey man what was the hospital visit about

TRUMP: NO TRUTH TO RUMORS OF A SERIES OF MINI-STROKES

repetitiveuser.bsky.social•37 days ago

My "I'm not shouting" t-shirt is asking a lot of questions

pppgrifter.bsky.social•37 days ago

Sounds like there was shouting

esouthard.bsky.social•37 days ago

and he’s getting impatient

jsallen.bsky.social•37 days ago

SALT lawmakers being those in favor of keeping the limit, or in favor of abolishing it?

scottmccaskill.bsky.social•37 days ago

raising it, I'd imagine.

peark.es•37 days ago

the SALT caucus wants a higher deduction cap (higher limit) or outright abolition of the limit (eg uncapped SALT deductions).

robjackel.bsky.social•37 days ago

At this point I'm in favor of uncapped SALT deduction just so states can actually fund services being cut by the Federal government.

jsallen.bsky.social•37 days ago

Thanks!

jschm2681.bsky.social•37 days ago

GOP is agreeing to screw the poor and middle class to give tax cut to the rich.

jjarchitect.bsky.social•37 days ago

there goes Malliotakis' vote

f1nance.bsky.social•37 days ago

I pay a lot of taxes as I’m sure you do as well. None of it annoys me nearly so much as the federal income taxes I pay on the money that then goes to my state after-tax. Obviously, unconstitutional for them to put their thumb on the scale of state gov’t decisions.

esouthard.bsky.social•37 days ago

I don’t think the SALT cap really affects him, personally, as much as the other provisions do. Just raw self interest

esouthard.bsky.social•37 days ago

part of a pattern of disregarding the material interests of his broader coalition, eg the impact of tariffs on small businesses

paulriz504.bsky.social•37 days ago

Also? Dude complains about Biden being on auto pilot. Does he have any clue wtf is in this bill?

"Trump warns House Republicans, ‘Don’t f--- around with Medicaid’"
