Does Trump Really Have Any Empathy For Poor & ....

middle class taxpayers. He's calling it a 'giant' tax cut for us. Yet - in reality - the Wealthy & the Corps get all the benefit.

Trump spends so much money on his golf outings and related equipment (i.e. golf carts, etc). Those dollars are pocket change for Trump and that money is off the backs of us taxpayers.

Think of what that money spent could have meant to the poor.

One question - will this combined House & Senate bill be evaluated by the GAO before they get to vote on this?

I'm not even sure he has empathy for his daughters and sons if they're not helping him

em·pa·thy
ˈempəTHē/
noun
noun: empathy

the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.

Trump is completely lacking in empathy. He feels sorry for himself, but that is not empathy.

Trump did not expect to win, he wanted to be the loser, go on Fox or start his own Fox network, and complain about how great things would have been had he won. And you know the pundits would lap it up. Yep, if Trump had won we would not have any problems, he could have fixed it! But he did win. And of course he is clueless, so the country will be lucky to survive him. Meanwhile, he uses the US taxpayer as a piggy bank for trips to Mar-a-largo, golf carts and green fees, and Big Mac's. Oh, and as a bonus he is now going to lower his own taxes, by way of the GOP tax plan! Life is good for Trump. If only he did not have to deal with all this "running the country" crap, everything would be perfect.
