The president continues selling his tax proposal, saying cuts are needed for continued economic growth.

President Donald Trump took a victory lap in Pennsylvania on Wednesday night, touting strong economic numbers as proof of his administration’s success, and calling on Congress to pass major tax reform to continue to spur growth.

The Trump White House has delivered “incredible results and results that in many cases the media hates to report,” the president declared, ticking off numbers such as low unemployment, growing GDP and a surging stock market — trends that were well under way during President Barack Obama’s second term. The dig at the media came after Trump suggested earlier Wednesday that the government crack down on certain media outlets.

“The confidence in our country is back like it hasn’t been in many, many years,” the president told a crowd of about 1,000 at an event for truckers in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. “The fact is, America is finally back on the right track but our country and our economy cannot take off like they should” without tax reform.

Trump largely hewed to his script, avoiding lengthy riffs on other topics and promising expansive benefits from a tax plan that has yet to be fully detailed by the White House or tax writers in Congress.

1. Liar-in-Chief.

2. Hes a well crafted bullshit artist thats for sure

And his cult eats that crap up because they could never accept that President Obama’s economic recovery had saved the country from economic collapse

6. It was Obama that saved the US from the brink of financial disaster

and it should never be forgotten. It was people like drumpf and his cabinet members that landed US in the 2008 financial collapse; we sure as hell don't want to go there again.

7. Agreed, and Trumps tax plan would certainly push us back there

8. In a New York drumpf minute.

4. Puerto Rico is part of our country. Nothing says "confidence" like

drinking out of contaminated wells on Superfund sites 22 days after a hurricane, because you have no access to safe drinking water and your so-called president, for whom you can't even vote, doesn't care.

5. He serves up bullshit, calls it chocolate pudding...

and his idiotic diehard followers eat it up and ask for more.

Meanwhile the Trumperor serves up this bull while wearing no clothes and too many MSM twits look the other way or rave about how 'generous' this delusional and lying sack of pigpoo is and how 'Presidential' he looks.

9. Pennsylvanias Democratic senator, Bob Casey, did not appear with Trump on Wednesday. He received hi

The speech marked a continuation of the president’s road show to promote tax reform and turn up the heat on Senate Democrats seeking re-election in 2018 in states he carried last November.

Trump was joined last month in North Dakota by Sen. Heidi Heitkamp and in Indiana by Sen. Joe Donnelly, two of the most vulnerable Democrats in states where Trump remains popular.

However, Pennsylvania’s Democratic senator, Bob Casey, did not appear with Trump on Wednesday. He received his invitation only on Tuesday, and his office said he couldn’t attend because of a scheduling conflict.

“Our framework ensures that the benefits of tax reform go to the middle class, not to the highest earners,” Trump declared at one point. “It’s a middle-class bill.” Independent analyses have shown highest-income households would reap the largest benefits from the president’s proposal.

“I’ve had rich friends of mine come up to me and say, ‘Donald you’re doing this tax plan, we don’t want anything, we don’t,’” Trump said. “So many people have come up to me and said, ‘Give it to the middle class, give it to the people that need it.’”

He specifically cited New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who Trump noted had given him a Super Bowl ring. Kraft encouraged Trump to focus his tax plan on the middle class, Trump told the crowd.

The speech included vague promises of fulfilling “great American dreams” and a pledge to repair U.S. infrastructure, though the president did not get into the details...................................
