10/31/2020 Tweet - "3 days from now, we are going to win Pennsylvania! With your support, we will continue to bring back your jobs, and cut your taxes & regulations. Biden would wipe out your factories, ship your jobs to China, raise your taxes, & eliminate private healthcare!"
10/05/2020 Tweet - "Virginia Voters! Your Governor wants to obliterate your Second Amendment. I have stopped him. I am the only thing between you and your Second Amendment. Working hard in Virginia. It's IN PLAY. Better Vote for your favorite President, or wave goodbye to low taxes and gun rights!"
10/05/2020 Tweet - "BIGGEST TAX CUT EVER, AND ANOTHER ONE COMING. VOTE!"
09/28/2020 Tweet - "The Fake News Media, just like Election time 2016, is bringing up my Taxes & all sorts of other nonsense with illegally obtained information & only bad intent. I paid many millions of dollars in taxes but was entitled, like everyone else, to depreciation & tax credits....."
09/10/2020 Tweet - "When we win I, as your President, will totally forgive ALL deferred payroll taxes with money from the General Fund. I will ALWAYS protect Seniors and your Social Security! Sleepy Joe Biden will do the opposite, he will raise your taxes and DESTROY our Country!"
08/14/2020 Tweet - "Just landed in New York to see my brother, Robert. We're going for New York on November 3rd. We're going to Reduce Taxes, Increase Law Enforcement, and bring it back BIG TIME! #MAGA"
08/08/2020 Tweet - "Sleepy Joe Biden just agreed with the Radical Left Democrats to raise Taxes by Three Trillion Dollars. Everyone will pay - Will kill your Stocks, 401k's, and the ECONOMY. BIG CRASH! #MAGA"
08/01/2020 Tweet - "Payroll Tax Cut plus Dollars!"
07/23/2020 Tweet - "The Democrats have stated strongly that they won't approve a Payroll Tax Cut (too bad!). It would be great for workers. The Republicans, therefore, didn't want to ask for it. Dems, as usual, are hurting the working men and women of our Country!"
06/01/2020 Tweet - "Sleepy Joe Biden's people are so Radical Left that they are working to get the Anarchists out of jail, and probably more. Joe doesn't know anything about it, he is clueless, but they will be the real power, not Joe. They will be calling the shots! Big tax increases for all, Plus!"
03/13/2020 Tweet - "If you want to get money into the hands of people quickly & efficiently, let them have the full money that they earned, APPROVE A PAYROLL TAX CUT until the end of the year, December 31. Then you are doing something that is really meaningful. Only that will make a big difference!"
03/11/2020 Tweet - "Hoping to get the payroll tax cut approved by both Republicans and Democrats, and please remember, very important for all countries & businesses to know that trade will in no way be affected by the 30-day restriction on travel from Europe. The restriction stops people not goods."
03/02/2020 Tweet - "The Democrats in the House should propose a very simple one year Payroll Tax cut. Great for the middle class, great for the USA!"
08/24/2019 Tweet - ""Face It, You Probably Got A Tax Cut!" This was a New York Times headline, and it is very true. If Republicans take back the House, and keep the Senate and Presidency, one of our first acts will be to approve a major middle income Tax Cut! Democrats only want to raise your taxes!"
04/29/2019

Tweet - "....People are fleeing New York State because of high taxes and yes, even oppression of sorts. They didn't even put up a fight against SALT - could have won. So much litigation. The NRA should leave and fight from the outside of this very difficult to deal with (unfair) State!"
03/09/2019 Tweet - "I hope the grandstanding Governor of California is able to spend his very highly taxed citizens money on asylum holds more efficiently than money has been spent on the so-called Fast Train, which is $Billions over budget & in total disarray. Time to reduce taxes in California!"
01/31/2019 Tweet - "Democrats are becoming the Party of late term abortion, high taxes, Open Borders and Crime!"
01/01/2019 Tweet - "Do you think it's just luck that gas prices are so low, and falling? Low gas prices are like another Tax Cut!"
08/05/2018 Tweet - "Tariffs are working big time. Every country on earth wants to take wealth out of the U.S., always to our detriment. I say, as they come,Tax them. If they don't want to be taxed, let them make or build the product in the U.S. In either event, it means jobs and great wealth.......Because of Tariffs we will be able to start paying down large amounts of the $21 Trillion in debt that has been accumulated, much by the Obama Administration, while at the same time reducing taxes for our people. At minimum, we will make much better Trade Deals for our country!"
07/23/2018 Tweet - "The Amazon Washington Post has gone crazy against me ever since they lost the Internet Tax Case in the U.S. Supreme Court two months ago. Next up is the U.S. Post Office which they use, at a fraction of real cost, as their "delivery boy" for a BIG percentage of their packages........In my opinion the Washington Post is nothing more than an expensive (the paper loses a fortune) lobbyist for Amazon. Is it used as protection against antitrust claims which many feel should be brought?"
06/04/2018 Tweet - "This is my 500th. Day in Office and we have accomplished a lot - many believe more than any President in his first 500 days. Massive Tax & Regulation Cuts, Military & Vets, Lower Crime & Illegal Immigration, Stronger Borders, Judgeships, Best Economy & Jobs EVER, and much more.......We had Repeal & Replace done (and the saving to our country of one trillion dollars) except for one person, but it is getting done anyway. Individual Mandate is gone and great, less expensive plans will be announced this month. Drug prices coming down & Right to Try!"
04/17/2018 Tweet - "States and Cities throughout our Country are being cheated and treated so badly by online retailers. Very unfair to traditional tax paying stores!"
03/02/2018 Tweet - "When a country Taxes our products coming in at, say, 50%, and we Tax the same product coming into our country at ZERO, not fair or smart. We will soon be starting RECIPROCAL TAXES so that we will charge the same thing as they charge us. $800 Billion Trade Deficit-have no choice!"
02/20/2018 Tweet - "Republicans are now leading the Generic Poll, perhaps because of the popular Tax Cuts which the Dems want to take away. Actually, they want to raise you taxes, substantially. Also, they want to do nothing on DACA, R's want to fix!"
