President Trump reportedly told friends at his Mar-a-Lago resort just hours after he signed the GOP tax bill that they all just got wealthier.

"You all just got a lot richer," Trump said Friday at a dinner at Mar-a-Lago, two friends at a table near the president told CBS News.

Late last week, Trump signed the sweeping Republican tax bill into law, marking his first major legislative accomplishment since winning the White House.

He spoke at length during the signing, thanking Republicans in Congress for getting the legislation to his desk and predicting it would help the economy.

[Motley13]

32. tax heist, perfect

[duforsure]

2. Typical arrogance

He probably was laughing all the way down to lar mago. Mr potter would be so proud of him. But does he remember who won out in the end? It'll be even more reasons for the American people to take both the House , and the Senate, overwhelmingly next Nov. . Karma Mr. potter, karma.

3. The guy just has to

brag. It's in his DNA.

[thbobby]

4. One of the few times

that Trump actually was truthful. A lot of rich people did get a lot wealthier by GOP tax bill.

6. Everything overheard at Mar a Lago

should be sent to the press. It's a club, not a place to discuss secrets. Eventually secrets and other things Donald doesn't want known will be leaked. Then he can start firing his paying guests.

[tavernier]

13. Better if someone had recorded it on phone.

[Yavin4]

34. We need to get a waiter or waitress in there with a cell phone

and record this bullshit

8. Really?? I thought it was a tax cut for the middle class

Trump said this Tax SHAM was going to cost him (and no doubt his "friends" ) millions of $$$$$ if passed. Just a couple days late the TRUTH comes out eh?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. Only the Trumpanzee base doesn't know what's going on.

Even on an ultraconservative forum (Fox is much too liberal) there are some against the RepubliCON tax scam.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. Among his base loving it, they are all looking at next year and not 5-10 years away when they suffer

[heaven05]

9. no shit!

arrogant fucker...I so hope all this comes back to destroy him and all his marlago "let em eat crumbs" 'antoinettes'

[ProudMNDemocrat]

11. November 2018 cannot come soon enough......

WE HAVE TO VOTE PEOPLE!

We must increase the size of the resistance! Yell louder from our rooftops! March jn the streets! Hound our representatives in the House and Senate!

WE MUST NOT BE COMPLACENT in 2018. WE MUST VOTE!

[Ligyron]

19. I'm convinced we could almost double the size of the Democratic Party.

I think a lot of those who don't resister to vote are discouraged and just don't think it will matter. It may well be by design too.

But then, I'm just guessing.

I wish some group would do a study to discover just who these people actually are. I've never seen any good data on this phenomenon. My guess is some RW think tank does have that data. 'cause them fuckers is smart and don't leave questions like that unanswered.

[Akacia]

23. This is absolutely true in my household.

I have talked till I am blue in the face to my husband about why voting matters. He is very disillusioned with the system and thinks his vote does not matter. Hopefully I will get through to him at some point.

[marcopolo63]

12. Weve been here before...

The French Revolution took place when 3% owned 35% of the land. Today the top 1% own almost 50% of the wealth!

Versailles and Mar-a-lago - both have 10 characters and both were/are owned by tyrants who took refuge and held court at their remote “homes” to avoid scrutiny!

This could end in /guillotines too!

[pangaia]

20. I will give Versailles this - it does gace class, a certain panache.

Nothing says class and panache like a gilded Hall of Mirrors.

[Fla Dem]

15. Any American who couldn't see this tax bill for what it really is, is uninform, illiterate,

on drugs, easily fooled and manipulated, delusional, rigidly ideological and partisan, or just plain stupid.

[-Steph-]

16. I wish there were a recording of this that could be played over and over again in the media.

[DeminPennswoods]

18. I'm sure that quote will appear in many Dem ads

this campaign season and Trump will be unable to resist making it worse for himself/GOP. He was already caught on video at the NY restaurant telling his rich friends that he was going to make sure they go their taxes cut. Campaign promise made and kept.

[L. Coyote]

21. This is the face of corruption of power. We the Peons have been robbed.

[C_U_L8R]

22. And the Trumpsuckers still don't get it

Make America Great. It's a fucking cookbook !!!

25. They are richer? So before they were only rich?

Alrighty then. So do you have enough now? No. Didn't think so.

[Lint Head]

26. Ah yes. Can't wait to get out onto my yacht Christmas Day

Have a few martinis. Pull into the Port of Miami. Then drive my Bentley off of the yacht on to the docks and have a nice meal. Maybe a 3-pound filet mignon and caviar. Merry Christmas!

[Irish_Dem]

28. If you are not going to serve Dom Perignon, I will have to decline an invitation

to your Christmas dinner. My guccis will take me elsewhere.

[Bleacher Creature]

27. This story needs to dominate the headlines the next couple of days.

It pretty much sums up the Trump Presidency and should be front and center heading into 2018.

[MFM008]

29. He will deny it

Of course.
Like the Haitian comment and Nigerians.
Deny...deny....
We damn well know the racist bitch said it.

[Turbineguy]

30. Yeah,

that's what I like about being a rich fuck. Watching those dumb-ass protestors with their stupid signs on my way in here!

(having a Rodney Dangerfield in "Caddy Shack" moment).

[Ferrets are Cool]

31. We need video.
