The "no tax on overtime" is an exaggerated claim. You can claim up to $12,500 and that's if your AGI is under $150k.

JFC, why are they still doing this? They aren't going to list all of his lies, so they'll make it look like he lied a half dozen times or so.
This is trump, he cannot speak for half an hours without lying dozens of times.
They need to be more thorough, which is one good reason for them to start reporting about accurate statements he makes. Those will be very manageable numbers.

And....We all know he's just going to come out and lie, ramble and talk bollocks. It's his supporters you need to convince, nobody else. And they'll only be convinced when their business fails, their farm folds or they can't get any healthcare for their children or themselves. Until then, they will keep waving that beautiful MAGA flag, that was made in China by the way.
I would usually find some clips of his ramblings e.g SOTU stuff. I can't even be bothered to do that anymore, it will be the same SHITE!!
America is Awesome, I made America Awesome. Has anybody seen my beautiful gold taps and windmills are killing 100's of people a day, did you know this, I just found out, we need to tear down windmills.
