Trump Dishes On NFL, Tax Reform At Private Dinner With Conservatives

President Trump expressed frustration with Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) for the GOP’s failure to repeal and replace ObamaCare and vowed a “historic” corporate tax cut in a private meeting with conservatives Monday night.

The president also expressed support for Pittsburgh Steelers player Alejandro Villanueva, the lone player from his team to stand with his hand on his heart for the national anthem before Sunday's game.

The dinner featured a cadre of Washington’s conservative leaders, all of whom remain staunch allies of Trump, including Concerned Women for America CEO Penny Nance, Susan B. Anthony List president Marjorie Dannenfelser, Americans for Prosperity president Tim Phillips, Heritage Foundation founder Tim Goeglein, American Conservative Union leader Leonard Leo and a handful of others.

Dining on beef wellington, apple pie and cinnamon ice cream in the Blue Room of the White House, sources at the meeting told The Hill that Trump is hell-bent on cutting the corporate rate as low as he can possibly get it.

The president, sources said, wants his tax reform package to be “historic” and believes that the lowest-possible corporate tax rates will bring back manufacturing jobs, boost GDP growth to 4 or 5 percent and generally make American businesses more competitive.

“in private meeting.”

I’m sure that naïve President Trump is shocked, shocked I tell you, that his views expressed in this “private meeting” ever made their way into the public domain.

So did they not find all of the hidden “bugs” that Obama left in the White House?

There was probably cinnamon in the pie already. Why’dja have to ruin the ice cream, too?

sources at the meeting

waiters? bugs in the walls? electronic surveillance coming from outside? At least PDJT now knows that every word spoken anywhere in the White House is being listened to and will be publicized.
