He most certainly will if he signs this new tax bill….but none of the followers cares?
It amazes me that after all is said and done Trump has been lying to his supporters and they love it. He continues to feed them crap and they eat it up and applaud his every word.
When will these followers and supporters realize they are being played like a cheap flute?
The answer to that question is simple.
They will never call him out as long as he continues to feed their prejudices and fears…but more on this situation…..
Among the stranger features of the 2016 election campaign was the success of Donald Trump, a creature of globalization, as an America First savior of the white working class. A candidate who amassed billions of dollars by playing globalization for all it was worth — he manufactured clothes and accessories bearing his name in low-wage economies and invested in corporations eager to outsource — won over millions of voters by promising to keep jobs here in the US.
Admittedly, only a third of his voters earned less than $50,000 a year and cultural and racial resentment, not just economic grievances, drove many of them to Trump. Still, in an ever more economically unequal America, his populist economic message resonated. It helped him win the presidency by peeling off white working-class votes in key regions, particularly the industrial Midwest. Now he’s stuck with his populist narrative, and here’s the problem for him: it’s not likely to work — not given the economic realities of this planet, not for long anyway.
These are the same people that do not want a liberal judge but will support a conserv one…..they do not want a judge with political agenda but support one that they approve of…..in short a hypocritical stand on their part….but when asked they are not hypocrites…..funny how that works with American politics.
The hypocrites will stand by their man….to the bitter end….and make NO mistake it will be bitter in the end.

When people really espouse a cause or take a side, whether that be Trump, Brexit, or anything similar, they generally accept that this comes at a price. That could be increased taxation, higher prices, or many other economic or libertarian losses. But they will suffer them, if it means that they get to ‘prove their point’.
Best wishes, Pete.
Interesting thought Pete…..I see what you are saying but I for one will not accept it….I guess that is why I seldom vote for a winner…LOL chuq
