Donald Trump dropped a new policy proposal during his massive Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday, a tax credit for Americans who serve as caregivers for family members.
After speeches from several high-profile figures, including RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and of course his running mate J.D.Vance, Trump took to the stage.
During his remarks, he announced that it was about time to recognize and support those who work to care for ailing family members.
I'm announcing a new policy today that I will support a tax credit for family caregivers who take care of a parent or a loved one.It's about time that they were recognized, right?
They add so much to our country and are never spoken of, ever, ever, ever, but they're going to be spoken of now.Thank you all very much.

Well, I think we can do at least $2 trillion.I mean, at the end of the day, all government spending is taxation.So whether it's direct taxation or all government spending, it either becomes inflation or it's direct taxation.
