Trumps No Federal Income Tax Plan for Under $150k Earners Fact Checked
“TRUMP SIGNALS "NO FEDERAL INCOME TAX" FOR AMERICANS MAKING UNDER $150K”
Summary
There is no credible evidence that President Trump has announced the elimination of federal income tax for Americans earning under $150,000. Fact‑checking outlets have identified similar Trump‑related posts as fabricated, and the only related policy discussion notes a proposal to use tariff revenues to offset taxes for those earning under $200,000, not a complete tax repeal. Therefore, the statement is inaccurate.
