This is a "see, I tried" PR event
"See, nobody wants to raise taxes on the wealthy, it's just not popular" - some dipshit in a month or two.
I'm not so sure. I'm starting to think Trump looks at the US government's money as his money now, so stop spending it on others, start spending it on his parade, and start legally taking it from people who have it.
This is a bullshit Public Relations setup. Just propaganda and lies, no truth to it whatsoever.
Fuck whoever wrote this crap article. Fuck whoever posted it for spreading obvious, fake lies.
Since you don't believe that, I suppose you won't believe the article where he's changed his mind.

He's term limited if he follows the Constitution. Either way his days of worrying about elections are over.
" to raise the tax rate on the highest earners and the other to close the so-called carried interest loophole, according to a Republican leadership source, as well as two other GOP sources familiar with the call."
To try to get Democrats on board? Or if the Dems vote against it, to use as campaign fodder?
Could the Dems stand agreeing with anything Trump wants to do?

Check their voting records since inauguration.
Many would agree with him contemplating Suicide, I would think.

Democrats are so eager to eke out any win they can, you should see what they would do for a Klondike bar right now.
