Trump Ditches Tentpole Pledge Just as Soon as He’s Done Bragging About It

President Donald Trump intended to talk about long-promised tax cuts for everyday Americans during Monday’s Congressional address but abandoned those plans to scream at Democratic representatives instead.

“The president said he’s gonna talk a lot about the economy,” ABC News D.C. correspondent Jonathan Karl said coming out of a White House press briefing earlier in the day. “He’s gonna call for new tax cuts, tonight, and he’s going to say that the next three years in America will be the best years economically that we’ve ever had.”

Fox News’ Brett Baier further confirmed Trump planned on calling “for a new form of corporate and personal tax cuts in his speech tonight,” adding the president had offered “no specifics on the details.”
