The loopholes were working just fine. By "fix" he meant eliminate the need for loopholes. Just don't tax people that can afford to pay the same percentages that the majority of the rest of us pay. Lord knows that the first thing really wealthy people do with that saved money is reinvest it and create jobs just like the middle income people always put that money into an IRA or a mutual or college fund as opposed to buying a new TV. We really are this stupid, aren't we?

And another day another huge lie from this Administration.. Flynn was vetted and all of these guys new about his shady activities and hired him anyways.... Also clear Pence lied as well when he claimed he didn't know. They knew, they just didn't care...Republicans party in general never seems to get tired of turning the other cheek when it comes to his constant lying, and unethical behavior.

Considering the fact that it seems as though he's using the presidency to enrich himself and his family, he probably will have to pay more in taxes even with his rate being slashed.

So nice to watch the self-congratulatory Edited that is the White House Correspondents' Dinner. It was especially moving when they all got up and gave themselves a round of applause and told each other how important they are and what a good job they are doing. The only thing missing was Stuart Smalley... then again maybe he was there.

So nice to watch the self congratulatory Edited of the Republican president in Pa last night. Awesome to watch our Republican President holding campaign rallies 100 days into office because he needs to feel loved. Oh, and Keystone United was in the house! Yes! www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/keystone-unitedIt was especially moving when the guy who has accomplished nothing other than signing "a record number of executive orders", physical education (golf), and personally enriching his fam patted himself on the back for doing a great job.... The only thing missing where the cheerleaders from the unbiased RW media spinning his disasters as successes.... Why won't the liberal media report this?? Huge.. Great job President Trump! Wow that Trump is something. Obama -1.5 million? Sad! In FoxNews interview POTUS blamed the constitutional checks and balances built in to US governance. “It’s a very rough system,” he said. “It’s an archaic system … It’s really a bad thing for the country.” Crooked Constitution... Wow sounds kind of authoritarian, maybe he can discuss it with Duterte when he visits.. Anyways that WHC dinner celebrating freedom of press is a major problem...

Trump’s mad dash to 100 days Admin official: "I can’t wait for the 100-day chitshow to be over." politi.co/2qgcskm Tax Plan: "Not a single word" of Trump tax plan had been written, officials "worked all weekend to draft a one-page summary" “Nobody wanted to do this now. We weren’t ready to do this now. But we weren’t given any choice,” said a second senior official close to the tax reform process. __ Repeatedly peppered for details on how they would avoid blowing up the deficit, what income brackets the new individual rates would apply to and what rate they would charge companies to bring money back to the U.S., Cohn and Mnuchin had no answers. Instead they repeatedly promised more details to come at a later time. Cohn even wound up snapping at a reporter for pressing for “micro-details” and not accepting the broad brush statements of aspirational goals. “The one pager the White House did was about as useful to the tax reform process as some random summer project of a Capitol Hill intern,” Furman said. “This is doing the process backwards with the White House doing the easy part and leaving the hard part all to Congress. And it makes it even less likely that anything ever gets done.” ________ Healthcare: When White House officials demanded last week a health care vote by the 100-day mark, Speaker Paul Ryan was traveling in Europe and taken aback. The leader of the House of Representatives wasn’t in on the plan, had no desire to vote this week and feared it wasn’t even possible. No one even knew what the bill would say because the language had not been written “It was totally insane,” one senior GOP aide said. “It made no sense. There was no reason to say a vote was happening this week.” A number of White House officials only learned of the president’s plan to sign an executive order removing the United States from the North American Free Trade Agreement — and tout it during a 100-day rally in Pennsylvania — after it appeared in news reports. It was going to be “another accomplishment of our 100 days,” a senior official said. “The president wanted to do it this week.” ______________ Trump really needs that win so he could brag about it at his campaign rally 1,285 Days before the next election...

What an ignorant buffoon we have as President. The "archaic system" which he complains about is called the U.S. Constitution. "I love the poorly educated!" -- DJT, February 24, 2016. His love of authoritarian dictators continues: al-Sissi, Erdogan, and now Duterte. www.nytimes.com/2017/04/30/us/politics/trump-duterte.html?_r=0While the US must engage the above-mentioned leaders given US interests, Trump lacks any nuanced understanding of the complex nature of these relationships.

Confused....
Aside from the fact Jackson died 15 years prior to the start and owned slaves. Did the President really just ask why did we need the Civil War?

"I don't stand by anything"
The most honest answer I've ever heard from Trump dropped amongst a bevy of paranoid lies.......

On this we can agree. Giving in to Democrat Party ideals is inherently foolish and bad for America.

"I don't stand by anything."
When the definitive history of President Trump is written, I assume that will be the title.

The education of Donald Trump The White House remains on a collision course between the president's fixed habits and the demands of his new job. www.politico.com/story/2017/04/27/the-education-of-donald-trump-237669"Sounds good, how do you think it will play on Fox and Friends?. Bring Drudge in here let's ask him." The man has no core beliefs and no intellectual curiosity. Anybody with a good story and a solid sales pitch can direct policy Wait, I don't understand. Didn't President Blowhard say at his latest campaign rally that his first 100 days were the most successful of any president ever (or words to that effect - I could be paraphrasing, but since everything he does is the greatest thing ever accomplished by anyone, it seems like that's the general drift)? I just wonder how long it's going to take the majority of his supporters to realize they've been had, and played for fools. Perhaps when they lose their health care, or end up paying more taxes than they are paying now. Oh well, too bad. Brother Trump can keep on saying "Ah luuuuuv uuuu" to the little guys, but some day they will stop believing it.

What do you think his "fix" would look like? The Civil War was fought over currency. The currency was Black American's ancestors... Maybe one of his advisors/kids could pass the message along...

I sometimes wonder if the parties get stuck in opposition mode. There was another way to frame this 'victory' as an example of our gov't and the political parties making compromises and working together as they should. This could have been a reparative moment with an opportunity to build bridges between the parties. Instead the Dems claim victory, that they pulled one over on the Republicans, which seems to set the stage for the Republicans needing to pull out a 'victory' in September. I get that each party wants to chalk up wins, demonstrate their effectiveness, and rally the troops but Republicans making compromises should be rewarded, not encouraged to do the opposite next time around. Far too many Ted Cruz's in our gov't recently. I guess I'm simply arguing that the victory laps should be chosen more carefully.

I agree with the spirit of Artisides comments but this particular President only seems to care about winners and losers. And when he wins he sticks his thumbs your eye and screams loser loser loser.
Just today he was at an Air Force reception he was giving a full throated red meat campaign speech with uniformed Service members standing there as props. He is crass and inappropriate at every opportunity and ramps up the temp in the room to 100 whenever he can.
Pro tip:
1) Going to be hard to blame Dems when you're calling for a shutdown 5 months out
2) Govt shutdown kind of sucks for the families of government employees and constituent... Since you control all 3 branches you would be blamed
3) You just signed a CR.. ? In NY we call this around the corner tough...
