Trump Is Falling Apart As He Flip-Flops And Promises To Cut Taxes On The Rich

http://www.politicususa.com/2016/05/09/trump-falling-flip-flops-promises-cut-taxes-rich.html

Donald Trump flip-flopped on his flip-flopped and has now assumed his third position on taxes in 24 hours. The pressure isn’t even on Trump yet, and he is already falling apart....

He answered, “I didn’t say that Chris. NBC and Chuck Todd if they put out that clip misrepresented….I may have to increase it on the wealthy – I’m not going to allow it to be increased on the middle class. Now, if I increase it on the wealthy, that means they’re still going to be paying less than they are paying now. I’m talking about increasing it from my (original) tax proposal. And Chuck Todd understood that totally, and yet they released information like I’m looking to increase the taxes.”

Here is what Trump said on Meet The Press, “Let me explain how the world works. Okay? I think nobody knows more about taxes than I do, and income than I do. But I’ll explain how it all works. I don’t come up with it. I come up with the biggest tax cut of any candidate by far of any candidate. Anybody, and I put it in. But that doesn’t mean that’s what we’re going to get. We have to negotiate. The thing I am going to do is make sure the middle-class gets good taxes, tax breaks because they have been absolutely shunned. The other thing. I’m going to fight very hard for business. For the wealthy, frankly, I think it’s going to go up. And you know what? I think it should go up.”

Donald Trump is a liar, who went caught in one lie will pivot and make up a new one. Trump has no intention of raising taxes on the wealthy. He does that he can trick the supporters of Bernie Sanders into voting for him if he talks about trade and hints at raising taxes on the wealthy.

He calls his supporters fans and measures his stream of consciousness ravings by ratings. He has no tax policy. A bunch of sycophants wrote his tax policy and he read it without understanding a word he said. Since revealing a tax policy meant nothing to him then he can blurt out any bullshit he thinks will get him ratings.
His supporters are now claiming online that he's going to be assassinated because he has proof 9/11 was some kind of inside job. The birther is now a truther and his fans are eating this up. The only way he can get out of the hole he's digging is to take his own death.
