About a month ago, Donald Trump first declared publicly that he and congressional Republicans were working around the clock on a very major new tax cut, which would be ready no later than Nov. 1, despite the fact that Congress was effectively out of session until after the elections. No one in Congress had any idea what the president was talking about, and even White House officials quietly conceded they were mystified.
Trump didnt care. The plan, which appeared to exist only in his imagination, quickly became a major applause line at the presidents campaign rallies. Pressed by reporters for details, Trump boasted that he and his team had came up with a way to make his new tax plan revenue neutral based on certain things.
The Nov. 1 deadline came and went, and the plan the president promised to present never materialized.
For those whove watched Trump and his operation closely in recent years, the fact that Trump made up a fictional policy, and peddled it as if it were real, is hardly shocking. Indeed, its one of the key takeaways from his farcical little story: the president simply says stuff, without any meaningful concerns about whether his stuff reflects reality in any way.

Trump embarrasses the US with his idiotic behavior ... Again.
Trump praises yet another murderous dictator/regime.
and
Trump yet again, shows that he has no control over his petulant entitled temper
That is Trump in a nutshell.

But maybe ... they're coming to take ME ... away ... lol ...
