Doug P. | 12:02 PM on December 22, 2017

President Trump signed the GOP tax plan into law this morning, and naturally there was a great disturbance in The Resistance in the U.S.

Pres Trump said he was going to delay tax cut bill signing til January, but changed his mind when he saw TV news coverage this morning saying he wouldn't meet his pledge to sign tax cut by Christmas – so he did it today. pic.twitter.com/vZXbkgFOqq

But worries about the tax plan aren’t limited to Nancy “this is Armageddon” Pelosi or other Dems in America:

Australia’s Treasurer: “The Trump tax cuts are coming. If we fail to respond, they will take Australian jobs, investment and wages with them.” https://t.co/7d0IfMGcvo pic.twitter.com/0PwzTt9Fyc

One great benefit of the corporate tax cuts: they make America a better place to do business and encourage similar changes in other countries if they want to stay competitive with us. https://t.co/Y03qIjRgpt
