Trump told friends at Mar-a-Lago 'you all just got a lot richer' after tax bill passed: report
Source: The Hill
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.

(7,633 posts)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.

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!

(15,286 posts)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.
