Remember when they tried to convince us that Joe Biden has dementia, simply because he was slow and old? And now they convince themselves that El Cheatolini is simply an innovative leader with high standards? HAHAHAHAHA! Via the New York Times:

It was easy to miss, but last weekend President Trump floated a fundamental rewrite of the American tax code. In a social media post, and again in remarks to reporters, Mr. Trump suggested the United States could stop taxing income under $200,000 and instead rely on revenue from his extensive tariffs.

“It’ll take a little while before we do that, but we’re going to be cutting taxes, and it’s possible we’ll do a complete tax cut,” Mr. Trump told reporters on Sunday. “Because I think the tariffs will be enough to cut all of the income tax.”

The idea was news to Republicans on Capitol Hill already in the throes of translating Mr. Trump’s impulses for cutting taxes into law.

Senator Mike Crapo, a Republican from Idaho who leads the Finance Committee, said he had not heard from Mr. Trump or his staff about the proposal. “So I just don’t know what that’s referencing,” he said.

Why would they know? THERE'S NO LOGIC. He's got dementia! You should be lobbying for the 25th Amendment to be used instead of saying "how high?" when he wants you to jump!

Can you help us out?
