Awww Donald "Softwood" Trump is going to have "listening sessions" on his tax plan

Process:
Throughout the month of May, the Trump administration will hold listening sessions with stakeholders to receive their input and will continue working with the House and Senate to develop the details of a plan that provides massive tax relief, creates jobs, and makes America more competitive — and can pass both chambers.

So who does he think are "stakeholders"? I suspect it's not people like my husband and I or other DUers but by definition we're definitely stakeholders in our country.

But I suspect it will just be for show. The big money "stakeholders" is all that matters.

It will just be another one of his dog and pony show photo-ops after which he'll do what he wants that will financially benefit him and his rich cronies the most.

Maddow says Trump's set to receive a $30million tax cut in the FIRST YEAR of his tax plan!
