President Trump on Sunday touted provisions in the recently-passed GOP tax plan, while pushing back against polls that indicate the measure is unpopular among the U.S. public.

The president claimed "insider polls" indicate that support for the tax-cut plan is "strong," while launching one of his regular attacks against the media, referring to "fake news" reports.
Several polls indicated a majority of Americans don't like the new measure.
An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll found last week that a majority of Americans, 63 percent, say the bill will benefit the wealthy and corporations, compared to 22 percent who say the plan will help all individuals equally.

And Then There's This...
"Meals on Wheels. Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. Farm aid. National Flood Insurance. The Women, Infants and Children program. All left with none or almost no funding under the tax bill President Trump made law this morning."

(44,130 posts)tweets. Just ignored them completely. Think he'd be pissed enough to just stop? Because, I've decided come the new year, I'm done with all things tRump. I can't take anymore of his bullshit. Wish everyone would just ignore him too. His ego driven tweets deserve no attention, NONE!

(19,204 posts)Only I'd take it a step further. Ignore everything about this mis-administration. Have no press coverage of Sarah Huckleberry Sander's "press briefings", no coverage of his tweets, no coverage of any of his 'speeches' ( "speech" being used only in the loosest sense ). He'd go ballistic! He craves attention like a junkie craves another fix. HE HAS TO HAVE IT!
If no one was paying attention, what would be the point of being pResident?
I don't think you could ever get the entire press corps to do this, but it sure would be a very telling experiment into Trump's mental condition.
