Trump Says Democrats Will Like Senate Tax Plan More

November 8, 2017 at 6:13 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

President Trump “moved to assuage centrist Democratic senators’ concerns about the House Republican tax overhaul by telling them the Senate version will be more to their liking, in comments that risk muddying the GOP’s effort to get a bill passed,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

Said Trump: “You’re going to like it a whole lot more.”
