vote that republicans should not vote for that health care bill because they were going to get stuck with it in the future and that the president would just throw them under the bus. anybody with that fulsome of praise for the health care bill, the president proved me wrong. he decided, i m going to stick by this bill because this is a great plan, it s an incredibly well drafted plan, and we re usually pretty good at that stuff. i said he was a day trader, wanted a ribbon cutting event, don t bet your future. i guess i need to apologize because he loves this house health care bill. two senate aides now tell nbc news that president trump described the house legislation as, quote, mean. mean? mean, like not nice. mika, hold on. he said it was a great plan.
specifically, the kind of business he has, would go from being a 39% tax rate to 15% tax rate and then, of course, the death tax, estate tax, if that thing gets pulled that is great for the trump kids. right. we know whether or not trump puts country before excuse me country before self, he puts the trump family first. if you are steve mnuchin and gary cohn, the fact you have these legacy issues about donald trump and his family does that not make you say this job is hard enough working with democrats, why are you making it worse? i think what is true it s not surprising. this isn t the first time that a republican president of the united states has put forward a tax plan that benefits wealthy people at the expense of people in the middle class. that s exactly what we ve seen from this i hesitate to call it a plan because it barely fit on one page. in terms of the proposal and principle thefrs put forward it s not new for when it comes to republicans. that s why the question
i think they would be wise to do so given t kinds of fractures we see in the republican party on capitol hill. but i do think it s an open question about whether or not they will be ability to get it done. it s not clear they ve succeeded in unifying the republican base or willing to do anything to build support among democrats. people want to pay less taxes. we know that. . if president trump can deliver that for the man on the street, does it matter what he does for corporate america? simply cutting the corporate tax rate does not mean we re going to see growth nis country. it doesn t mean it s a direct line to job creation? people like to get things. that s the lesson of politics. it s easier to get something than have something taken away from you. think about the presidency the easiest way to have the most successful presidency is to have economic growth. they are thinking a lot about how do you have a tax plan that allows you to, yes, give people a tax reduction, but at a cor
president obama will speak his mind. that s what they re paying to hear. i ll translate. he wants 400 grand. to give a speech. they offered him $400,000, he s taking it. capitalism. a beautiful thing. well speaking of capitalism the markets before we go, markets just opened and they are already up. a positive day, markets like certainty. they re feeling good about this tax plan. why? because it means corporations are going to have to pay less. next, that trump tax plan now that it is out we to know the details, heavy on promises, light on details. sort of a trump signature. including tax relief for child care expenses and an increase deduction for everyone. will democrats get on board with any of it? some of those things democrats sure like. (dog barking) whoever threw it has to go get it. not me! somebody will get it. (dog barking) anyone can dream. making it a reality is the hard part.
about syria, you think about what just happened in afgh afghanist afghanistan. what does that money about north korea? the good news is that we have a president that is sending direct messages. less not throwing red lines. the same token, we have had bad actors that have had it his way a long time. this guy is third generation crazy. did it get worse? it does. he s like a cult leader and may not understand the ramifications. he may think he can win. who knows? syria, there might be regime change. the russians may integrate to it. it s the same thing for all parties involved. this is the biggest wild card. that s why this weekend is important. do you be cautious or put money to work? if you re in it for the long-term, don t bet against america. i think the proof is evident there. the dow does over time all goes up. but if you re trying to milk a quick move here, how should you
