Despite Leavitt’s objection, Boak further urged: “I’m curious why he prioritized tax cuts.”
“He actually didn’t implement taxes,” Levitt replied. “Tariffs are tax hikes abroad, and once again set us apart. Tariffs are tax cuts for the American people, and the president is a staunch advocate for tax cuts.”
When Boak insisted on tariffs from importers rather than foreign companies, he spitted and asked, “Sorry, did you pay the tariffs? Because I have.”
