Pres. Trump walks back payroll tax cut suggestion, says he's 'not looking at a tax cut now. We don't need it. We've got a strong economy.'

President Donald Trump is walking back his comments on implementing a payroll tax cut after stating that it's something he's been"thinking about" as a way to save the U.S. economy, which he described as doing"phenomenally well" from falling into a recession.

The president said yesterday that he's considered a payroll tax cut but denied any link to recession fears. https://t.co/Yf1MNDjF7l pic.twitter.com/fCpLm0syXU In saying so, the president contradicted his own aides who had pushed back on the notion that a payroll tax cut was under consideration.

Hello President Trump! What’s up!😊♥️

What !!!!for who the millionaire club

We have a strong economy and skyrocketing debts, so why don’t you realDonaldTrump revoke your grandiose tax reform that doesn’t pay for itself!

I'm surprised he remembers from day to the next what he says. Come to think of it, he doesn't. Early signs of dementia.

That's too bad...it would help and boost entrepreneurship!

He liar! He love to blame him. Need stop finger pointing at him!

Just look at what Putin wants and what the NRA wants and that is where his policies go. Kind of obvious!

He has absolutely no idea what he's doing. The most incompetent, unqualified person to ever sit in the oval office. God help America.

It’s funnier to watch the video with no audio and not read the subtitles. 😆😆😆👽🤡🎃🤖

BarackObama was really realDonaldTrump’s nightmare, this guy cannot do an interview without bringing up Obama. In my head I have many reasons why but certain things are better left unsaid

Tomorrow he will day something different.

Does he know about ANYTHING he is talking about? MAKE AMERICA GAG AGAIN

Well, you gave a really nice tax cut to the rich, and it's permanent. You gave a tiny tax cut to the middle class that's not permanent. You're going to need more than propaganda to get elected this time. Intelligent people see right through your lies in propaganda.

We should a new Holiday and call it “ No Trump Day”

morgfair So flippy! So floppy!

Very strong leadership again, very well done.

I could use a tax cut, I don’t like him speaking for me. He says I’m rich, I don’t feel rich.

He stepped away from reporters.

As long as the billionaires are ok...

Seniors on retirement will see none of that.

Unstable Delusional Donnie.

Didn’t Pence just tweet that on average Americans have an extra $5k this year? This administration is a joke.

I’m glad our savior is among us to Gide us..lmao Learntoswim

Cutting “payroll tax” would NOT be a tax cut! “Payroll tax” is what comes out of your paychecks to FUND Social Security (6.2%) and Medicare (1.45%). This same 7.65% is matched by the employer. It should be INCREASED to keep SS solvent so that it can continue to be there for you!

He looks like a fuckn hedgehog

Up down left right ok nok yes no now not now... Flip Flop.... Hes mostly a F L O P.

What the heck? I was looking forward to the tax cut and I need it as do the 99%. But it’s okay as long as the 1% keep on getting all the money. 😉 That’s all that matters in the USA! Thanks Trump TheChosenOne and the RacistInChief RacistTrump

Nut job !!!!!

President Trump is awesome! 2020 WINNER!

When BO took over, the US banking system was about to collapse

Just ONE DAY with out this idiot on the NEWS !! PLEASE !! He is looking for all the attention !!! JUST ONE damn day ! PLEASE

morgfair A crazy man in the White House!

I’m not good at gif but someone find a swing where this child is in it and changes his tune every time it goes up and down😜

KeciaFrierson Remember the fall of ‘18?

Promise was made by realDonaldTrump that a second tax cut would be made. That apparently was a lie. PromiseMadePromiseNotKept

I don’t know what our stupid president is thinking but myself I am between low to middle income and doing worse since he took office and made his changes. Even my tax returns for the past year I barely made enough for a return and past years I got back so much more.

morgfair This is heresy for GOP isn’t it?

Feds push back and state Herr Trump's trade war with China is the basis of a shaky economy. Blame the mouthpiece who sits and lies at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Hmmm. I'd still like a payroll tax cut, just cuz I'm poor. Anybody else use a little help, regardless of the state of the economy? Maybe I could eat 7 days a week.

Lol

Heaven forbid we get a middle class tax cut! But hey, Trump wants to get Russia back in the G7. His payback for election interference! TheChosenOne CuomoPrimeTime DropFox ImpeachTrump Trump2020 TrumpRecession TRUMP2020Landside MAGA2020 MAGA2020Landslide

Do your job!!!! Please ?!?!!! Explain to people that this “president “ has no idea what in the hell he’s talking about!!! DO YOUR JOBS!!! Trump2020 ImpeachTrumpNow LockThemAllUp 25thAmendmentNow

realDonaldTrump doesn’t know what he’s doing.

He flips 180 degrees fast then alternating current.

Still trying the “baffle them with bullshit” approach.

But we need rate cuts and QE now because of my idiotic trade war.

realDonaldTrump - President Obama had to deal with the GREAT RECESSION, the likes of NOTHING we'd seen since the GREAT DEPRESSION. He NEEDED drastic measures to guide us back to prosperity... You were HANDED THAT RECOVERY!! GoToSchool

Another example of him just talking out of his ass. He just contradicts him self every time he talks.

Amazing how the economic forecast rebounded within the last 24 hours.

HelicopterRants

Wow, that's a double flip flop. Trump should have been a gymnast.

Sooo that's a yes?!

This dude is calling for ZIRP while simultaneously criticizing Obama payroll tax cut as an economic crutch?

Antichrist To think of all the stupid bastards who still defend this criminal 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Doom to fail the economy !!

Trump is a lunatic. He says one thing then a day later says the opposite. Does he realize what he is doing? He is unfit and unstable.

Of course he does.

Still all bent out of shape about Obama.

Trump is such a simple-minded, delusional, lost soul; it is beyond comprehensible.

INTELLGIENT presisent knows that cutting the taxes would be short term solution and would only cost us more when we need to tape it back together ~ not something igorant osama would think about

Trump's businesses appeared successful and strong, right up until they declared bankruptcy and he walked away.

Yesterday the tax cut was a good idea

🤦🏿‍♂️We're waiting Lord...
