President Donald Trump on Wednesday offered the basics of his tax reform plan during a speech in Springfield, Mo., and NBC News’s Ali Vitali manage to squash the whole thing down to four parts over two tweets:
The 4 pieces of Trump's tax reform speech:
1) Simplify tax code.
2) Competitive tax code that creates more jobs&higher wages for Americans.— Ali Vitali (@alivitali) August 30, 2017
3) A "crucial one" – tax relief for middle class families.
4) Bring back offshore profits.— Ali Vitali (@alivitali) August 30, 2017
The speech lasted just over a half-hour, but something tells us Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s office had her response ready to go, seeing as it was the Democrats’ standard-issue response to any Republican tax reform plan … except this one had emoji.
Massive tax cuts to the rich →✨✨conservative magic✨✨→ "trickle down" to the middle class
Don’t fall for Trump’s flawed logic. #NotOnePenny

#TrickleDown is like a slavemaster telling his slave; sit by the table & catch the crumbs I let fall from my mouth & be thankful. https://t.co/BYMlsGOWs8

Um, yeah. Dems are still stuck on the concept of trickle down economics? We’d rather put our trust in “conservative magic” than whatever plan Pelosi and the other architects of the decades-long “War on Poverty” have in mind.
This is a patently false tweet. Your narrative of "punish the rich" has failed miserably, and Americans have seen the light. #MAGA https://t.co/AD46OUjSlO

Nancy & Dems wants the poor to stay poor. Talk to any economist and they will agree with @realDonaldTrump logic. Just ask & open your minds. https://t.co/nnEungHQUr

Don’t forget the important step of punishing the successful for creating those jobs.
