President Trump’s latest tax proposal, unveiled by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, aims to provide relief to
middle-class Americans while closing loopholes that have long benefited the ultra-wealthy, including hedge fund
managers and sports team owners. The plan seeks to ease financial burdens on service workers, retirees, and
those clocking extra hours by eliminating taxes on tips, Social Security benefits, and overtime pay,
Key provisions include closing tax loopholes—such as the carried interest loophole— and reducing the corporate
tax rate to 15% for domestic manufacturing, a move supporters argue will boost American industry and job creation.
However, critics warn that these measures could increase the federal deficit and threaten funding for essential social programs.
