Donald Trump is set to roll out his well-worn and false line that the United States is among the “highest-taxed nations in the world” on Thursday when he accepts the Republican presidential nomination.
“America is one of the highest-taxed nations in the world,” Trump will say, according to his prepared remarks.
That false claim will come amid criticisms that Democrat Hillary Clinton plans to raise tax rates and that the real estate mogul is proposing the “largest tax reduction” of the presidential candidates that ran this year, according to the prepared remarks.
Politifact, the non-partisan fact-checking service, has determined that the United State’s tax rate would rank about 64th among 189 countries.
