## Post text

_A repost of @TeamTrump with nothing added: the words are @TeamTrump's, not his._

> RT @TeamTrumpPRESIDENT TRUMP: Everything Kamala Harris says in her speeches is a lie. Yesterday she got up and started ranting and raving that Donald Trump wants to put a tax on gasoline, food, medication, clothing and everything else, when I’ve never said anything of the kind...Here is the truth: Kamala wants to put massive taxes on American jobs and American industries—I want to CUT taxes on Americans, while putting tariffs on China and other foreign countries to bring our jobs back home to Pennsylvania. A tariff is a tax on a foreign country... there's no tax if they build in PA - it's very simple.

> -Everything Kamala Harris says in her speeches is a lie. You know, she gets up and just lies. I was watching her yesterday. She talked about all the taxes I was gonna raise. I never said that. I'm lowering taxes. Yesterday, she got up. She started ranting and raving that Donald Trump wants to put a tax on gasoline, a tax on food, a tax on medication, a tax on clothing, a tax on every single thing that was ever invented. Your hat he's gonna tax. Your shirt he's gonna tax. He's gonna tax your wife. He's gonna tax your husband. And I'm saying, I never said any of that. They make it up. I mean, here's the truth. Kamala wants to put massive taxes on American jobs and American industries. I want to cut taxes on Americans while putting tariffs on China and foreign countries to bring our jobs back home to Pennsylvania and to take in billions and billions of dollars. You know, I'm the only one that ever took in any money from China. China was really hitting us hard, ripping us apart. That means many, many presidents. And what happened is I put a tariff on and I raised the tariff. We took in hundreds of billions of dollars from China and Biden can't, it's so much money. He's trying to rescind it for a couple of reasons. Number one, he got a lot of money from China. He got like, didn't he get three and a half million, four million that they know of? But he got a lot more than that. His family made a lot of money with China. He wants to get rid of the tariff, but he can't because there's so much money they can't do anything with the budget. A tariff is a tax on a foreign country. That's the way it is, whether you like it or not. A lot of people like to say, oh, it's a tax on us. No, no, no. It's a tax on a foreign country. It's a tax on a country that's ripping us off and stealing our jobs. (audience cheering) And it's a tax that doesn't affect our country. And you can see hundreds of billions of dollars of tariffs on other countries also. I took in hundreds of billions and nothing happened to us. They make less money. And you know what? Our jobs come back because there's no tax. If they build their factory in Pennsylvania, there's no tax if they build their factory in the United States. So what do they do in order to avoid paying the tax? They say, let's build a place over here. No tax. Come on over, we love it. Just hire our people. That's all you have to do. It's very simple.
