Trump is not middle class America, and the Estate Tax is not aimed at middle class America. Other portions of the tax plan could also easily be viewed as custom tailored to benefit Donald Trump but the Estate Tax pretty much is so obviously to his benefit a caveman could see it.

Trump is personally backing a termination of the Estate Tax which should net his heirs hundreds of millions or more. I am sure the DC Hotel scam is chump change next to that obvious abuse of his Office.

In an alternate-fact world, that means nothing. 

well thar ya go.

Of course Melania  cut the payroll. She didn't even live at the White House. And she's pretty much been a phantom First Lady. 

That's awesome. It can offset a few of the extra golf trips.
 
Only a few though.
 
Sorry correction - Not even one
 
My bad.

Guess he does make calls

Conservatives don’t own patriotism.

Senators Reach Deal to Fund Subsidies to Health Insurers
 
WASHINGTON — Two leading senators have reached a bipartisan deal, in concept, to provide funding for critical subsidies to health insurers that so-called president Trump said last week that he would cut off, Senator Lamar Alexander Republican of Tennessee said Tuesday.
The plan agreed to by Mr. Alexander and Senator Patty Murray of Washington, a Democrat, is intended to stabilize health insurance markets under the Affordable Care Act.
As one part of the deal, the subsidies would be funded for two years, a step that would provide at least short-term certainty to insurers. The subsidies, known as cost-sharing reductions, lower out-of-pocket costs for low-income consumers.
The deal between Mr. Alexander, the chairman of the Senate health committee, and Ms. Murray, the panel’s top Democrat, is an important step for lawmakers hoping to shore up insurance markets after Republicans’ failed efforts to repeal the health law.
Mr. Alexander told reporters on Monday that Mr. Trump had encouraged him to reach a deal with Ms. Murray.
But it remains to be seen whether conservative-leaning Republicans will get on board with the agreement, and whether the House will entertain it. Some Republicans have said they do not wish to provide what they describe as a bailout to insurers.

Yes, Trump admitting to sexual harassment and assault in considered far beyond bad taste, in this country. Trump is no different than Weinstein, and every bit as much a predator.
 
The equivalence you refer to is not something that is trying to be made, it's one that exists on its own merit, whether you like it or not. 

He's a sexual predator and a bully. Can you say Trump 2.0?

Don't forget to click your heels three times. 

Facts are useless, per the OP, when used against the alt-right and defenders of the alt-right. The responses in this very thread support the OP.

And yet some simply refuse to see that they are aping the alt-right messaging while arguing that they don't belong to any alt-right group. Scary stuff and a slippery slope indeed.

I think that was started by meeting with Russians but yeah, same thing. Alternative facts are great for ignoring reality.

Pat, of course, didn't preface his comment to a very few specific Haitians. The OP neglecting the qualifications given and implying that all Floridians deserved severe storm damage is therefore completely different. Words matter, and taking the most important words out of a statement and then trying to create controversy under a false premise is the epitome of fake news.

Yes. But the vital missing qualifyer is the four or five very specific, very wealthy climate change denying cult members, not the general population of Florida.
