Donald Trump, “My Tax Plan A ‘Rocket Ship’ For The Economy”
Donald Trump said Tuesday his newly unveiled tax plan is getting “tremendous reviews” from billionaire investor Carl Icahn and others and denied critics’ claims that the plan could add trillions of dollars to the national debt while benefiting the nation’s wealthiest.
“It will actually affect the rich to a much lesser extent,” the GOP frontrunner said in a TV interview. “The people that are middle income, middle class, our middle income people are going to be the biggest beneficiaries. Their taxes are coming down very substantially.”
He also insisted that his plan will bring money into the United States, “because we’re bringing in at least $2.5-T that’s stuck outside of this country… the number could be much, much higher.”
Donald Trump promised that his plan will reduce corporate taxes and create jobs, and the nation’s “economy is going to expand tremendously, like it has not since Reagan but probably even before that. This will be a rocket ship for the economy.”
“I’m still leading in every poll, and some of the polls are really good,” said Mr. Trump, pointing out that one poll Mr. Lauer cited, that put him in a “statistical dead heat” with Dr. Carson actually shows him 1 pt ahead.
But if the polls change and at some point he has to get out, “then I go back to my business. There is no question about that, but right now I think it is working very, very well.”
Tuesday Mr. Trump reiterated that he supports Russia’s intention to fight against Islamic State militants, saying that if President Putin wants to fight ISIS, “you should let them as opposed to saying we’re jealous and we don’t want you to do that.”
But he did not say if he believes Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is the reason for the country’s problems, and was concerned about his potential replacement.
“The people that want to come in and replace Assad, nobody knows who they are and they could end up being worse,” he said. “We’re constantly going out and siding with people and they turn out to be worse than the people who were there before.”
