Leavitt\u2019s response was both bold and baffling: \u201cHe is not actually raising taxes. Tariffs are taxes on foreign countries, once again, that have cheated us. Tariffs are a form of tax cut for the American people, and the president is a strong supporter of tax cuts.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Wallace\u2019s reaction was immediate and intense, as she struggled to comprehend the rationale behind Leavitt\u2019s assertions. The incredulity in her voice was palpable as she pressed for clarity, challenging the notion that imposing tariffs could somehow be beneficial to American taxpayers. The exchange quickly escalated, with Wallace emphasizing the economic realities that contradict Leavitt\u2019s claims, making it clear that she would not let the press secretary\u2019s statements go unchallenged.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace has called\u00a0<span data-track-module=\"internal-body-link\">White House<\/span>\u00a0Press Secretary\u00a0<span data-track-module=\"internal-body-link\">Karoline Leavitt<\/span>\u00a0either \u2018tragically uninformed or lying\u2019 following her claim that tariffs are a tax cut for Americans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Wallace\u2019s attack followed a heated exchange at a White House press conference where Leavitt accused a reporter of testing her knowledge on the economy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">During yesterday\u2019s press briefing Josh Boak, a journalist from the Associated Press, asked Leavitt if President Trump\u2019s tariffs were a form of tax hike on the American people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In response, Leavitt said: \u2018He\u2019s actually not implementing tax hikes.
