Hannity Breaks With Trump On 1 Convenient Issue: 'Pretty Unbelievable To Be Honest'
HuffPost
The Fox News host has long defended the president on a multitude of matters, but appeared personally affronted Wednesday when it came to his wallet.
Fox News host Sean Hannity is breaking with President Donald Trump on one particular issue — a small tax hike for Americans earning over $1 million annually — and boldly argued earlier this week on “The Sean Hannity Show” that this would hurt the country.
“I just think it’s bad for the economy,” he said during Wednesday’s episode.
“On the other hand, it seems to go against everything Donald Trump has ever believed in,” Hannity continued. “I mean, I think he’s always understood this. And I’ve been reading the same things you’ve been reading, and frankly, I just haven’t been believing it.”
Bloomberg reported Wednesday that Republicans in the White House, Senate and House are drafting a proposal for a new tax bracket of 40% for people making more than $1 million per year. The income tax bracket currently sits at 37% for anyone earning over $626,350.
An anonymous White House official told the outlet that Trump is actually open to the idea.
