Trump tax-free overtime plan 'as fake as his tan,' Senate finance chair says

• Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden said former President Donald Trump's new campaign promise to scrap income taxes on overtime pay is "as fake as his tan."
• Trump's spokesman accused the Oregon Democrat of "disrespecting hard-working Americans."
• Trump has already vowed not to collect taxes on workers' tips or on seniors' Social Security, among other proposals aimed at working-class voters.

Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden threw shade at Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Friday over Trump's latest campaign promise: to eliminate income taxes on overtime pay.

"Donald Trump is losing, and these tax proposals he's floating out of desperation are as fake as his tan," Wyden said in a statement.

The Oregon Democrat who leads the Senate tax writing panel said the former president "knows Republicans in Congress have no intention of passing this stuff."

"It's obvious his newfound concern for working people is a fraud," Wyden argued, "because as president he undermined overtime protections for workers."

He added, "You can always count on him to treat workers like chumps he can buy off with empty campaign promises here and there."

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung fired back at Wyden, telling CNBC the senator "shouldn't be disrespecting hard-working Americans and taking money out of their pockets."

"But it's not surprising coming from a loser like Wyden who has a history of persecuting everyday Americans," Cheung added.

Trump unveiled the tax-free overtime proposal Thursday during his first campaign rally since his bruising debate Tuesday night against Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris.

"As part of our additional tax cuts, we will end all taxes on overtime," he said at the rally in
