Trump Falsely Claims He Wouldn’t Benefit from Tax Plan

While pitching the tax overhaul in Missouri, President Trump said he won’t benefit from the plan. But NBC News points out the president’s assertion just isn’t true.

“In fact, Trump and his family could save more than $1 billion under the House tax plan that passed two weeks ago, according to an NBC News analysis. And under the Senate plan, the wealthiest Americans, like Trump, would get nearly 62 percent of all of its benefits by 2027, while two-thirds of middle-class Americans would face a tax increase, according to the Tax Policy Center, a nonpartisan think tank in Washington.”
