GOP tax bill was a scam to hoodwink average folks, hook up the wealthiest Americans. This proves it.

Trump to voters at a Missouri rally:

"This is going to cost me a fortune, this thing, believe me. Believe -- This is not good for me. Me, it's not so -- I have some very wealthy friends. Not so happy with me, but that's OK. You know, I keep hearing Schumer: 'This is for the wealthy.' Well, if it is, my friends don't know about it."

Trump told friends at Mar-a-Lago:

'you all just got a lot richer' after tax bill passed: report

will introduce huge tax increases on income over, may, say a million a year. They will raise property taxes on properties over several million. This will be needed to cover shortfalls from the federal government, and, voila, those increases won't be deductible from federal taxes.
