White House slammed for decrying Trump's pro-inflation tariffs plan and Republicans' 'MAGAnomics agenda'

WASHINGTON, DC: The White House is waging war on congressional Republicans for their alleged support of "MAGAnomics" and former President Donald Trump's "across-the-board tariffs" plan, which would worsen inflation and drive up costs for families.

In a Friday, June 14 memo to "allies and interested parties,"  White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates slammed Republicans for "targeting Medicare and Social Security for cuts, pushing tax welfare for the super-rich, and supporting across-the-board tariffs that would raise costs and taxes for hardworking families."

What did  White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates write?

"Yesterday congressional Republicans met to plot a 2025 agenda that involves historic tax increases on the middle class in the form of high tariffs, then gives tax handouts to big corporations that are overcharging Americans despite inflation decreasing," Bates wrote, per Fox News.

Donald Trump met with both Senate and House Republicans this week

On Thursday, Trump visited Capitol Hill and had meetings with Republicans in the Senate and the House.

Following the event, the former president "briefly floated the concept of eliminating the income tax and replacing it with tariffs," according to Rep Thomas Massie, R-Kentucky.

Andrew Bates claims 'Republicans want even further corporate tax windfalls'

Citing additional recent reports, Bates asserted that "Congressive Republicans want even further corporate tax windfalls that will add another $1 trillion to the deficit, in addition to extending the Trump tax giveaway for billionaires and multinational companies."

Bates also noted that President Joe Biden "rejects this dangerous MAGAnomics agenda."

"His plan would protect and strengthen Medicare and Social Security, further cut the deficit by making rich special interests pay their fair share, and to crack down on the corporate greed that is ripping off American families as inflation falls," he wrote in the memo. "Republican officials have stood against every aspect of that plan, even defending junk fees and price gouging."

Bates insisted the "MAGAnomics summit puts into relief the stark choice between President Biden’s plan for an economy in which economic growth flows to the middle class, and an economy in which hardworking families are sold out to billionaires and the biggest corporations, forced to pay whatever big corporations want to charge while stripped of the Medicare and Social Security benefits they pay to earn."

Trump campaign's National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says ex-President will end inflation if elected

In a statement to Fox News, Karoline Leavitt, the Trump campaign's national press secretary said, "The Biden campaign is lying because they are losing. President Trump's first-term pro-growth economic policies created record-low mortgage, interest, and unemployment rates and made inflation virtually non-existent."

"Americans can expect President Trump's second-term economic agenda will have the same impact and end Joe Biden's inflation crisis that continues to rob working families of thousands of dollars every month," she added.

"President Trump delivered on his promise to protect Social Security and Medicare in his first term, and President Trump will continue to strongly protect Social Security and Medicare in his second term," Leavitt asserted.

Leavitt insisted the "only candidate who poses a threat to Social Security and Medicare is Joe Biden – whose mass invasion of countless millions of illegal aliens will, if they are allowed to stay, cause Social Security and Medicare to buckle and collapse."

Donald Trump's trip to the nation's capital this week made numerous headlines

This week, Trump traveled to the nation's capital and met Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for the first time in several years.

This trip garnered significant media attention. In addition to praising the party's extreme unity, Trump assured Republican senators that if elected in November he would "bring back common sense to the government."

Internet lashes at White House for aiming at Republicans for their 'MAGAnomics agenda'

Netizens slammed the Biden administration for speaking against the Republicans over their support for "MAGAnomics".

One X (formerly Twitter) user penned, "BTW Biden has already destroyed our manufacturing by exporting it all to foreign countries!"

Another wrote, "You mean bringing the manufacturing back to America or pay up to bring your product here . Bringing it back creates more American jobs which in turn generates the economy? Oh , yea , bad idea."

"Anything that comes out of the @WhiteHouse I know the exact opposite is true," echoed another.

"Let’s bring manufacturing back to America. We used to be the industrial giant. Government has effectively sold us off to China," opined one.

"Really? The only thing a tariffs did during his four years was improved the economy, And improve relations with the rest of the world," added one user.

"The tariffs brought jobs home the first time!" said one user.
