NEW: Scott Jennings just blew a hole in the Democrats’ tariff outrage—exposing the economic hypocrisy they don’t want you to see.
While the Left panics over Trump’s tariffs, Jennings points out something they’ve conveniently forgotten: they’ve spent years demanding higher corporate taxes. And what are tariffs? A tax on corporate activity.
@ScottJenningsKY exposed their double standard in one fell swoop:
“I do find it interesting in this conversation, though, about Democrats finding their, you know, free market bonafides all of a sudden.”
“These are the same party that's been arguing that corporations need to pay higher taxes.”
“Effectively, a tariff is just a tax on corporate activity. That's what it is. And Democrats for years have argued for higher corporate tax rates. And now they're arguing against effectively a tax on corporate activity.”
Then Jennings pitched the genius play that Trump should make next:
“I think if I were Donald Trump, I might next week say, you know what, I'll meet you—I’ll meet you on this.”
“Let's slash the corporate tax rate in half and it will mitigate. It will mitigate your concerns about the tariffs.”
And that’s when he dropped the mic:
“I bet you you wouldn't find one Democrat who would agree to it, even though it would be an amazing idea.”
