President Donald Trump will turn his signature populist rhetoric toward tax reform on Wednesday in a speech expected to tout tax cuts as a way to help workers and the middle class in an economy “rigged” against them, senior White House officials said.
With his domestic policy agenda stalled amid Republican infighting and his approval rating at just 35 percent, Trump will make his first presidential speech specifically on tax policy, an issue on he has been promising results for months.
Reiterating a 2016 campaign theme on a visit to Springfield, Missouri, Trump will say the U.S. economy is “rigged” to favor the privileged few and urge closing loopholes for the wealthy and special interests to help “Main Street.”
