Yeah, I'd seen that a few weeks ago. It's a bad mistake if he follows through, but Trump seems to think he has a shot at winning New York -- or may just be trying to protect Republican House incumbents. The SALT deduction still exists, but it's capped at a reasonable level -- for people in states with reasonable tax policies. That's a good policy and it should remain in place.
