“I’m not going to comment on whether it is a real thing or not a real thing” […] “I’m saying for the moment we have other things we’re focused on” …

… adding, “… so it’s not a real thing.”

And “We’re shocked!” replied no one at all.

Good. And the Democrats should not be baited into themselves trying to bring forth any similar Tax cut.

Lord knows, they should instead be trying to resurrect some of the odious earlier tax cuts; the Estate tax for one. Put the repubs back on the defensive in justifying the giveaway to the 1%.

Back in October, Mnuchin said that he and House Republicans were hard at work on the middle-class tax cuts and would release a plan shortly. That plan never materialized.

Trump forgot to sign the letter of intent and forward it to Congress.

Every once and a while, I have to stand back and marvel at the fact that we all think it is normal now for our President to blunder around and spew lies. A man who is not qualified to run a McDonald’s franchise is guiding us into the 21st century - no wonder the economy is starting to nose dive. The only question left now is why is it taking so long for us to correct this?

Other things you’re focused on? Are you referring to ducking and covering to try to keep yourself and tRump out of jail?

So you think it is abnormal when Trump blunders around and spews lies? I believe everyone, including his supporters, accept that is his normal behavior. But you are right that we are caught in some weird dystopian nightmare in the fact that somehow, despite all odds, he is our president.
