Donald Trump’s pivot to tax reform is quickly panned by his biggest fans: “Jeb! had better ideas”

Donald Trump’s pivot to tax reform is quickly panned by his biggest fans: “Jeb! had better ideas”


Tropical storm Harvey was still destroying the lives of tens of thousands in southeast Texas and making its way towards Louisiana, but Donald Trump was eager to picot to tax reform on Wednesday. Delivering another campaign-style speech in Missouri, Trump painted his planned tax overhaul as a populist economic solution that will help low-income and middle-income Americans. Left absent from the speech, however, was any actual substance beyond the promises of economic growth.
“It’s time to give the American workers the pay raise that they have been looking for for many, many years,” Trump said on Wednesday. “We’re here today to launch our plans to bring back Main Street by reducing the crumbling burden on our companies and on our workers,” he added, according to CNN. “The foundation of our job creation agenda is to fundamentally reform our tax code for the first time in more than 30 years.”
Trump’s speech went over so poorly that even far-right provocateur Ann Coulter wasn’t sold on it.
