Lutnick doubled down on Trump’s tax proposal, making it clear that the former president has a clear and bold goal.
“I know what his goal is,” Lutnick said. “No tax, for anybody who makes less than $150,000 a year. That’s his goal, and that’s what I’m working for.”
Such a tax cut would be one of the most significant changes in modern U.S. history, leaving millions of working- and middle-class Americans with more disposable income while shifting the burden elsewhere.
Lutnick acknowledged that the economy might face short-term turbulence, but he insisted it’s a necessary tradeoff for Trump’s long-term vision.
“These policies are the most important thing America has ever had,” he declared. “It’s worth it.”
He blamed any potential economic downturn on Biden-era policies, arguing that Trump’s plan would ultimately generate more revenue, economic growth, and domestic manufacturing.
“The only reason there could possibly be a recession is because the Biden nonsense that we had to live with,” Lutnick stated. “These policies produce revenues. They produce growth. They produce factories being built here.”
Lutnick also highlighted Trump’s aggressive approach to trade negotiations, particularly through tariffs. He described Trump’s ability to apply pressure when dealing with uncooperative parties, calling him “the best dealmaker ever to sit in that chair.”
“When you’re negotiating with someone and they’re not paying attention and they’re disagreeing, the president… he’s going to say, ‘Here’s my response,’” Lutnick said. “And then all of a sudden, shockingly, they respond.”

A prime example, he noted, was Trump’s tariff threat against Canada. Initially imposing a tariff but later removing it, Trump used it as a negotiation tool to force Canadian leaders to back down.
“He needed to break some guy in Ontario who said he was going to tax American energy 25 percent,” Lutnick explained. “The president of the United States in the White House says, ‘Oh no, you won’t,’ and breaks him. Breaks him … by a tweet and a truth. And you think that’s chaotic?”
Lutnick dismissed concerns over Trump’s aggressive tactics, insisting that they ultimately force other nations to play fair.
“Let the dealmaker make his deals,” Lutnick urged, predicting that foreign leaders will soon “realize it doesn’t need to do it this way.”
As for concerns that Trump’s policies might lead to an economic downturn before producing results, the former president himself has remained cautious in his predictions. However, he remains confident in his long-term economic strategy.
“I hate to predict things like that,” Trump said, according to Fox News. “There is a period of transition because what we’re doing is very big. We’re bringing wealth back to America. That’s a big thing… it takes a little time, but I think it should be great for us.”
With Trump leading the charge for a tax revolution, the stakes have never been higher. Eliminating taxes for millions of Americans while overhauling trade policies could change the trajectory of the U.S. economy. But will Washington and the American people rally behind it? As Trump makes his case, the battle over America’s financial future is only just beginning.
