Trump Urges Firing Execs Who Oppose Him, Promotes Tax Cuts

Trump

Former President Donald Trump, speaking on Truth Social, criticized business executives and shareholder representatives who do not fully support him, suggesting they should be fired for incompetence. Trump’s statement came in response to President Joe Biden’s proposal to raise the corporate tax rate, a move opposed by Trump who champions lower taxes and greater support from the business community.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump asserted, “Business Executives and Shareholder Representatives should be 100% behind Donald Trump! Anybody that’s not should be FIRED for incompetence!” This statement followed a Wall Street Journal article highlighting Biden’s plan to raise the corporate tax rate to 28%, up from the 21% rate set during the Trump administration.

Trump’s post on Truth Social also mentioned his intention, if reelected, to further reduce the corporate tax rate to 20%, contrasting with Biden’s proposal to reverse some of the tax cuts implemented during Trump’s presidency. Trump reportedly made these comments at a meeting of the Business Roundtable, where he emphasized his plans to cut income taxes and roll back business regulations.

The former president’s efforts to court business leaders include promises to reduce taxes and ease regulatory burdens. Trump’s strategy appears to be aimed at winning support from billionaires and business leaders as he gears up for the 2024 election. Despite initial hesitation from some billionaires who supported his primary challengers, recent reports suggest a growing number are warming to Trump’s campaign, with several making donations or indicating their intent to do so.

In response to Trump’s comments, a spokesperson for the Biden-Harris campaign, James Singer, criticized Trump’s approach, framing the 2024 election as a choice between Biden’s policies aimed at reducing costs for working families and what he described as Trump’s return to policies that benefit the wealthy at the expense of the middle class.

The debate over tax policy and support from the business community is likely to be a key issue in the upcoming election, with both sides presenting contrasting visions for the country’s economic future.
