still stuck on that meme? It's minutia.
Tax Reform/simplification -reduction of corporate rates along with closing loopholes, could put us at 4% GDP.

But the "resistance" doesn't care about the American economy. too bad for the USA

The President Trump stock market rally is close to becoming the greatest in 85 years.

Since Election Day, the Dow Jones industrial average has surged 24.7 percent — fueled in large part by investor enthusiasm for Trump’s plans to cut regulations and taxes and bring back manufacturing jobs.

Barring a large sell-off over the next month, Trump’s Dow rally will surpass the 23.3 percent gain the much-watched stock index posted in the year following the election of President George H.W. Bush.

The Trump rally, beginning its 12th month today, is compared to the one-year Dow record starting on Election Day.

You’d have to go back to FDR, first elected in 1932 as the US started to recover from the Great Depression, to see a larger jump. The Dow rose 54.9 percent following Election Day that year.

What’s more, surveys of business confidence are at an all-time high — something the tweeting president sees as a personal conquest. “Business is looking better than ever with business enthusiasm at record levels. Stock Market at an all-time high. That doesn’t just happen!” Trump tweeted on Aug. 3.

Some observers, though, are hard-pressed to point to the reasons behind the historic runup — especially when Trump often targets business leaders with criticism.

“When I think back on the whole year, the forecast versus the fulfillment, I don’t think the Trump administration has done anything,” Sam Stovall, an analyst at CFRA, told The Post. “Other than maybe reduce a couple of regulations, or at least lower the bar on regulation, nothing’s happened.”

Other major indexes have also seen huge surges this year. The S&P 500, a broader gauge of US companies, has risen 19.2 percent since Election Day.

The Trump tax plan, which may face a rough road to being law of the land in its current form, is aiming to slash nominal tax rates for corporations from about 40 percent to about 20 percent, as well lower taxes that would incentivize companies like Apple to mo he Trump tax plan, which may face a rough road to being law of the land in its current form, is aiming to slash nominal tax rates for corporations from about 40 percent to about 20 percent, as well lower taxes that would incentivize companies like Apple to move profits abroad back to the US.

“We believe we can have 3-plus percent growth with taxes and the regulation reform that we’re after now,” Gary Cohn, Trump’s top economic adviser, told Bloomberg TV on Friday.

The US didn’t have a single year with 3 percent growth in gross domestic product under President Obama.

Investors like tax cuts for foreign money because companies tend to spend that money on stock buybacks, which often lifts share prices.

Of course, stocks could collapse at any time, though it’s hard to imagine when. On Thursday, the VIX, known as Wall Street’s fear index, hit its lowest level ever — an indication that investors are keeping their chips in the game.

Since Election Day, the Dow has surged an average of 2 percent a month, closing at 22,773.67 on Friday.

If the bull market maintains its pace, the Dow could rise above 23,200 by Nov. 8 — marking a gain of about 5,100 points.

In reality Trump doesn’t have to do anything. Investors just need to have confidence he will. Just as money has no real value. It only has perceived value and that perceived value is only as valid as the people’s confidence in it.

Seriously, as usual the poor are being exploited by the rich. That trickle down you are feeling down your back? That's Trump piss. He's telling you it's raining money. It's raining acid.

no. not trickle down. Tax cuts across brackets, but less deductions to provide simplification.
The exception is the corporate rate -highest in the world 35% - of course needs correcting down.
But there too -many less deductions

The middle class gets 2x the standard deduction - which makes it a PROGRESSIVE TAX
in that more low income Americans won't pay taxes
