Neo-fascist demagogue and habitual liar Donald "Rump" Trump has been lying his vast orange ass off on the campaign trail in an effort to save the Senate and curtail losses in the House. The most egregious are the lies about the "caravan" of Honduran immigrants seeking transit across Mexico to the U.S., including the one about Dems wanting "open borders."
His apparent fear that a Dem House will impeach him for his manifest corruption, tax cheating and servitude to the Kremlin and the sheiks of Araby is prompting him to lie about other things, too. For example, yesterday, while campaigning in Nevada for hack and buffoon Sen. Dean Heller, Rump said that he'd produce "a very major tax cut" for the middle class by November 1. Displaying both desperation and dishonesty, Rump probably knows that Congress is out of session, and won't be returning until later in the year. In his thinking, his gullible followers won't know that he's lying again, so why not go for it?
Rump and the Rethugs are obviously feeling the heat from taxpayers for the "billions for billionaires" tax cut for the 1% and the corporate world that the Rethugs enacted late last year. It's a loser with voters, so his alternative is to lie about a non-existent "tax cut" to fool the rubes into coming out to vote Rethuglican.

The only thing I can imagine is cuts to SS, Medicare or Medicaid. Depending on what happens in Nov. the repukes would be right on board for this. I know the idiot is out of control but, I'm going to take this bribery scheme as a half assed truth.
Anon. -- He knows his supporters will believe anything he says. If they retain control of Congress, McConnell let the cat out of the bag on cuts to the social safety net.
“Trump, and Larry Kudlow and Kevin Hassett, been floating the idea of a tax cut by executive order for about the past six weeks. That they have determined that the President has the authority to adjust specific tax rates for specific things by ordering the appropriate Federal agency to make the changes.
I recall that they were playing with this idea when considering whether they could change the way that capital gains were taxed, but originating a tax cut from the White House is going to far.”
This I just read at Balloon Juice and it makes sense because they were trying it before. Trump would try again to push the limits of his presidential powers, and who's going to stop him? What the American public should be saying is, “Fool me once...” but half of them will believe anything he says.
