Hyperbole is the euphemism used for every lie Trump has ever told whether it be deliberately or delusionally.


Nah its pretty clear, if you've paid attention at all, that Trump often speaks in hyperbole.


You mean like when he claimed during his campaign that there would be no taxes on tips and overtime?

Was that hyperbole too?




That's really the argument you choose?

You know he and congress did pass laws for that, right?


Doesn't sound like you're well informed.

Lots of hard working blue collar people voted for Trump on that one campaign proposal alone, and they got duped by Cheeto.

How do you not know this?




Is it perfect, no. Is it a start, yes.

https://blog.taxact.com/no-tax-on-overtime-explained/amp/

Please find me sources where anyone voted for Trump for the singular reason of no tax on tips and overtime.


In a previous post the other day, you said that you knew of no one "in everyday life" that voted for Trump that feels screwed by him.

I guess you don't know of any Farmers?

Or people that thought their overtime wasn't going to be taxed?

We're these people duped by Trump?
Or are they just really dumb?

Capped at $12,500 for an individual.
Only applies to the "half" portion of time and a half.

DOES NOT APPLY to the base rate.


"No Tax on Overtime"

New deduction:

Effective for 2025 through 2028, individuals who receive qualified overtime compensation may deduct the pay that exceeds their regular rate of pay such as the "half" portion of "time-and-a-half" compensation -- that is required by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and that is reported on a Form W-2, Form 1099, or other specified statement furnished to the individual.

Maximum annual deduction is $12,500
($25,000 for joint filers).

Deduction phases out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income over $150,000 ($300,000 for joint filers).

And you accuse me of whataboutism LMAO

I asked you to find me someone who voted solely based on no taxes on overtime and tips and you can't so you then change course. Well done /s

Yep. As I said it's not perfect but it's a difference and great start.

That's a pretty good deal. The overtime pay bump is tax free and you can deduct up to $12,500. This shouldn't really apply to income above $150,000. That's a reasonable barrier. That barrier also runs a bit counter to your contention that Trump only works to benefit the rich.

What's worthless are the Presidential Medals of Freedom that Obama awarded to Biden and Biden awarded to George Soros.

No it arguably makes it more meaningful. The fact she would give up that honor is very telling of the work Trump has done for her country.

From their own website nobelpeaceprize.org they state and I quote "There are no restrictions in the statutes of the Nobel Foundation on what a laureate may do with the medal, the diploma, or the prize money. This means that a laureate is free to keep, give away, sell, or donate these items.
A number of Nobel medals are displayed in museums around the world. Several Nobel laureates have also chosen to give away or sell their medals…"

Silly premise.

If Ussein Bolt gave me one of his olympic gold medals, it won't make me the fastest man in the world.

If Toni Morrison gave me her Nobel prize in literature, it won't make me a world class novelist...

I don't think anyone believes Trump won the Nobel Prize because she gave it to him. It's symbolic in nature. The point is it absolutely can be given or sold, clearly refuting Wags post and that dummy who said it.

And it's Usain.

You're clearly being disingenuous here.

It's nearly impossible in 2026 to defend many of the weird and crazy acts of Trump, yet here you are.

That deserves some kind of a medal.

Huh? You need to learn how to read better. I called the dude from the Nobel organization a dummy, not anyone here.

Maybe a good idea to worry more about your own posts.
