Ivanka Trump Botches Some Basic Details of Tax Plan

CATHAL MCNAUGHTON

Ivanka Trump lobbied aggressively for an increased child tax credit, so the passage of the GOP tax plan may have been something of a personal political victory for her. But her victory lap was less successful.

The first daughter told Fox & Friends Thursday that she‘s “really looking forward to doing a lot of traveling in April when people realize the effect that this has. ... The vast majority will be [doing their taxes] on a single postcard."

Numerous critics pointed out that she’ll be a little early, since most people won’t be signing their tax forms for 2018 until April 2019, and that the postcard is more of a metaphor than an actual tax-filing document.

Trump also said that she thinks the tax bill, combined with the administration’s deregulation efforts, will “ultimately eliminate" the country’s $20 trillion national debt.
