Trump Promotes 'Giant, Beautiful, Massive, The Biggest Ever' Tax Cut Plan

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Friday that the centerpiece of his plan to help American businesses and workers “thrive, compete and grow” is a “giant, beautiful, massive, the biggest ever in our country, tax cut.”

Trump and congressional Republicans unveiled the broad outlines of the tax plan earlier this week.

“My administration is working every day to lift the burden on companies and workers so you can thrive, compete and grow,” Trump said in a speech to the National Association of Manufacturers. He said the tax cut plan was a core element.

The nearly $6 trillion tax-cut plan sketched out this week by Trump and other officials would deeply reduce taxes for corporations, simplify tax brackets and nearly double the standard deduction used by most tax filers. But many details remain to be fleshed out.

Whatever happened to that “giant, beautiful, massive, the biggest ever in our country" health care reform? Or that “giant, beautiful, massive, the biggest ever in our country" wall? Or, for that matter, the “giant, beautiful, massive, the biggest ever in our country" relief effort for Puerto Rico?

I hate that fucking guy.

...."whatever".

"Giant, Beautiful, Massive, The Biggest Ever" tax cut - for him and his peers, certainly not for most Americans.

The elimination of deductions has already been assailed by REPUBLICANS in the House and Senate, most notably the deduction for state and local taxes.

Notice that Cohn didn't directly address questions about this from the press yesterday?
