33. Kudlow is busy this morning clarifying that trump means he would make the postponement permanent.

As it stands now, companies and employees would have to pay the postponed payroll tax, presumably in January 2021. Kudlow says trump meant that if he were reelected, he'd try to make it so they don't have to pay for the postponed period. According to Kudlow, trump is not saying he'd do away with the payroll tax forever.

That is one thing about trump's stupidity, it makes it believable he meant something else when he says something foolish.
