    He will do it, for the rich, not the poor.

      Convicted Felon and Sex Offender Treason Trump gave rich people a gigantic tax cut and tax increases to the middle class. Next year every income group making 75k or less will pay MORE taxes thanks to him.

        Will suck but honestly this is the least of our worries. Trump has openly said he will deport u.s. citizens and is arguing that he can assassinate people that disagree with him.

          18% of Americans earn more than $100k/yr. They do not lobby. They just vote. Income tax reduction disproportionately benefits about half the country, especially benefits a fifth of the country.

          In a race where it’s estimated 40k people will decide the entire outcome, getting 20% of the country on your side is good numbers.

            Republicans have been saying shit about eliminating income taxes for years, or even flat out eliminating the IRS. I don’t see this specific policy turning "millions"of voters like you say.

            The best thing trump can do is get voters excited. Voter turnout is abysmal in this country. Whoever gets more people to actually show up to vote wins. Joe Biden was a shoe in before he hard-backed Israel and now it’s a toss-up

              The difference is that all GOP candidates previously knew, or had a cabinet that knew, it was a terrible awful thing to do for the country. It would NEVER pass. But it could be campaigned on. Just like repealing abortion… See how that worked?

              The party of Trump is not the GOP of old. These are idiots that can and do actually get things done. Mostly because they do it all wrong and haphazardly. But it doesn’t matter because the action takes effect immediately and the remedy takes years to work through a judicial system.

              Too many American democrats don’t understand they aren’t even playing the same game. Bringing a spatula to a gun fight.
