Liam Donovan, senior political strategist in Bracewell’s Policy Resolution Group, discussed with Reuters the flurry of new tax-cut proposals from former President Donald Trump in the final weeks of the 2024 presidential campaign.
“He’s a salesman at heart, and one of his advantages in sales, as in politics, is that he’s unencumbered by shame or consistency or policy details,” said Donovan.
“In this case, Trump is trying to close a deal, and the spate of policy proposals are a bid to give the customer what they want.”
