So, that's why the deep south, former Confederate states, suddenly flipped parties. It's not because they had a change of heart and now love blacks and other minorities, lol.
Both parties have racists.

You do realize the guy is supposed to work for us, don't you? This isn't high school anymore, Trumpeters. It isn't just about Trump getting elected. He has to DO SOMETHING to earn his keep.

Oh, Trump is going to get a bump from this tax bill, for sure. It won't be in the ratings, but he doesn't care about the ratings as much as he cares about the bump to his earnings. This tax "cut" is going to yugely impact the earnings of the rich, and he is right in that category. We peons may see a few bucks more temporarily, but the rich are going to see it permanently.

Just wait till the facts of this act shake out, then we will all see how it really was crafted.

Gallup Daily: Trump Job Approval

The Trump tax cut is unpopular because most Americans instinctively know it's fiscally irresponsible to borrow $2 Tril from the future to fund tax cuts that mostly benefit those who already have plenty of money.
You don't like him anyway. Your polls are meaningless, and those paying too much tax finally got a break.
Envy of successful people won't help you become one!

February will be the first time most people get to see what the new law means for them.

Yeah, I'm already planning my trip to McDonalds. I might actually be able to afford fries with that Big Mac.

His signing of the tax bill certainly did not move the markets.
