“on SALT--that is, the State and local tax deduction--in the fall on the campaign trail on Long Island and in his Truth Social account, Donald Trump said this: I will turn it around, get SALT back, lower your Taxes, and so much more. I'll work with the Democrat Governor and Mayor, and make sure the funding is there to bring New York State back to levels it hasn't seen for 50 years. And on Long Island, Donald Trump went further. He promised to ``cut taxes for families, small businesses, and workers, including restoring the SALT deduction, saving thousands of dollars for residents of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and other high-cost states,'' promising that once he restored SALT, ``jobs and factories will pour back into New York. I know how to do it better than anybody has ever known how to do it, and we can do it so easily.'' This was obviously met with raucous praise. After all, it was he, Donald Trump, who created this disaster when he put SALT caps in during his first term in his tax bill that year. I was incredibly skeptical about Donald Trump's promise on Long Island; after all, this was the arsonist promising to put out the fire. Since then, many New York House Republicans have made the same promise, parroting then-Candidate Trump almost every week since he has taken office. They even formed a little SALT Caucus in the House.”
