Donald Trump To Wealthy Friends: "You All Just Got A LOT Richer"

For months, Donald Trump has continually downplayed any benefit wealthy folks might see from the recently passed GOP Tax Scam.

Over and over, Trump has told anyone who would listen how the tax legislation would hurt him and his rich buddies, and then quickly pivot to refer to the bill as a "middle class" tax cut.

Just one example - here's Trump on November 29: “This is going to cost me a fortune, this thing. Believe me. Believe. This is not good for me... I have some very wealthy friends - not so happy with me. But that's OK.”

But this is what the Trumpster had to say to his ultra-rich friends last night at his Mar-a-Lago resort, via CBS News:

President Trump kicked off his holiday weekend at Mar-a-Lago Friday night at a dinner where he told friends, "You all just got a lot richer," referencing the sweeping tax overhaul he signed into law hours earlier. Mr. Trump directed those comments to friends dining nearby at the exclusive club — including to two friends at a table near the president's who described the remark to CBS News — as he began his final days of his first year in office in what has become known as the "Winter White House."

Bolding is mine.

“I have some very wealthy friends -- not so happy with me” - Trump to voters at a Missouri rally

"You all just got a lot richer” - Trump to wealthy friends at Mar-a-Lago

This GOP tax bill was a scam to hoodwink average folks, hook up the wealthiest Americans. This proves it.
