CONGRESS/ELECTION/GOP/TAXES/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump repeated Monday [10-22-18] that he plans to offer a new tax cut plan before the midterms, even though no one seems to know what it will look like or how it might get through a Congress that only barely managed to pass his signature plan last year…The GOP has tried to make tax cuts and the booming economy a key selling point to voters. The President said the new plan would focus on middle-class Americans, as opposed to businesses, which were one of the main beneficiaries of his first tax cut…Yet he acknowledged there would not be time for Congress to vote through new tax cuts before the November 6 vote.”
