  • Trump plans to extend the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions, focusing on benefits for individuals and corporations.
  • He proposes eliminating federal taxes on Social Security benefits, tips, and overtime, but these could impact Social Security funding.
  • Trump's tariff strategy includes significant levies on imports, which could act as a sales tax on American consumers and affect prices.
  • Plans to lower the corporate tax rate to 15% aim to boost manufacturing, but could face legislative hurdles.
  • Trump's proposals include measures to make housing and car ownership more affordable, though details remain sparse.
