In a shocking turn of events, President Donald Trump has issued a dire warning to the Senate, claiming that if they fail to pass his historic tax bill, Americans could be facing a “whopping 68% tax increase”. Yes, you heard that right – 68%!
In a tweetstorm that sent shockwaves through Washington, Trump declared, “If the Senate doesn’t pass my tax bill, Americans will be hit with the biggest tax increase in history. Sad!” The President went on to threaten that if the bill is not passed, he will be forced to take drastic measures, including implementing a tax on “fake news” and “covfefe”.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was quick to respond to Trump’s ultimatum, stating, “We are committed to working with the President to pass a tax bill that benefits all Americans. However, we cannot support a bill that includes a tax on covfefe. That’s just ridiculous.”
Meanwhile, Senator Bernie Sanders chimed in with his own take on the situation, saying, “Trump’s tax bill is nothing more than a giveaway to the wealthy. If this bill passes, I will personally eat my copy of ‘The Art of the Deal’.”
Not to be outdone, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi added, “This tax bill is a disaster for the middle class. If it passes, I will dye my hair orange in protest.”
As the debate over the tax bill rages on in Congress, one thing is clear – Trump is not backing down. In a recent press conference, the President doubled down on his threat of a 68% tax increase, stating, “I will not rest until this bill is passed. Believe me, I have the best tax plan. It’s tremendous.”
Only time will tell if Trump’s tax bill will come to fruition, but one thing is for sure – the drama in Washington is far from over. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story, and remember, don’t forget to pay your covfefe tax!
