Remember 11 days ago, when Trump promised to cut your taxes by November? We do.

Trump's midterm "strategy" is to make preposterous commitments and hope voters don't notice he's lying.

On Oct. 20, seemingly out of nowhere, President Donald Trump announced he was looking at putting in a very major tax cut for middle-income people that he hoped to implement sometime around the first of November, maybe a little before that.
A major tax cut we are going to be putting in, and are studying very deeply right now, around the clock, a major tax cut for middle-income people, Trump told reporters after a rally in Nevada. Not for business at all, for middle-income people. Now, the last [tax cut] was for middle-income, and for business, and our business is now coming back because of it. But we are looking at and Kevin Brady is working on it, Paul Ryan is working, were all working on it and were looking at a major tax cut for middle-income people who need it.
There was a major problem with Trumps promise Congress wasnt in session when he made it, and wouldnt be until weeks after the Nov. 6 midterm elections. So there was no opportunity for any new legislation, including tax cuts, to be considered in anything approximating the timeline Trump laid out.
