I can't help but think about how tone deaf Trump is:

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."

The president has spent many weekends of his presidency so far at the "Winter White House," where initiation fees cost $200,000, annual dues cost $14,000, and some of the most affluent members of society have the opportunity to interact with the president in a setting while many Americans cannot.

Make America Great Again = Make the Rich Even Richer
 
If I had to take a wild guess, this is just another lie or distortion by the media.
 
I suggest that you all watch the accompanying CBS News video attached to that story.

Skip to the 8:50 mark and listen to what political correspondent Molly Hooper had to say about the comment... Of course I don't expect it to mean anything at all to those out to destroy Trump.

Looks like factual reporting of a statement made by Trump in an open, social setting. And I can see him puffing up his ego with this kind of self-back slapping.

Do you own a tiki torch?

Okay, I went to 8:50 and listened to Molly Hooper, and she basically did this:

And still 75% of Republicans believe Trump is an anti-elitist.. A billionaire from NYC, who brags about his wealth, craps in gold plated toilets, and just bragged to his rich friends they all just got RICHER is an anti-elitist?

His Republican supporters who believe his garbage can not be anymore brainwashed, or clueless, or full of hate at Dems/Libs... Or all of the above.

You mean you think Trump is actually incapable of telling the truth? This is the first instance I've seen in quite a while of his being truthful, after all.
 
I am not taking any more "You wont believe what stupid thing Trump said now!" stories without the name of at least one accuser.

Stupid thing? What stupid thing? Trump actually made an honest statement, and you don't want to believe he really made it.
 
Trump certainly said this.

Trump supporters:

Can you look yourself in the face and deny that he would say this?

Can you look yourself in the face and deny that this tax bill is targeted for the rich?

Seriously? Of course he said this, it's a 100% accurate statement.

"You all just got a lot richer" I bet they all create 1000 middle class jobs and let their bags of cash rain down from the heavens above! Joyous day for my keeper has bestowed upon me the gift of his scraps.

That may be the first truism Trump has uttered since the inauguration.

That is kinda dumb. Even your media has sources I imagine. Sources provide off the record information, which is then corroborated by the news outlet.

Awesome team work by another hack who didn't even try to read the OP's words.

But anyways...........

Paint made in america.

Drywall made in America.

Brickwork made in America.

Glass made in America.

Elevators made in America.

Wiring made in America.

Piping made in America.

The idiotic context of the OP was that EVERYTHING was made in China!

And Trumps lying mantra to the American people is MAGA!! Make it in America!! Hire American!!

While the fatass orange hypocrite imports his Signature products from at least 10 foreign countries. Foreign sweat shops that pay $1.60 an hour and less.

And you swallow that MAGA load of crap and smile. Sweet Jesus.

Nice diversion.

The OP stated in words that everything in Trump's property was made in China..............not me.

I build and rehab houses while you sit behind a keyboard spouting off about things you know nothing about regarding construction.

Then you posted a picture with some components being from China.

You are the one swallowing here.

In fact, if you were so concerned about China products, you wouldn't be online right now.................talk about stupid?

I believe he probably said it, but what isn't known is the context in which it was said.

That's the reason I suggested that everyone skip to the 8:50 mark of the video attached to the story and listen to what CBS's political correspondent had to say about it. It wasn't that many years ago when people on both sides of the political isle used to agree that context mattered... Today, not so much.
