Trump using Tax Day visit to Minnesota to tout 2017 tax cuts
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — President Donald Trump will use Tax Day on Monday to visit Minnesota, an erstwhile Democratic stronghold he hopes to flip in 2020 after nearly winning it in 2016. Questions remain, however, about just how much he’s politically benefiting from his signature legislative accomplishment.
Minnesota, which gave the country Democratic Vice Presidents Hubert Humphrey and Walter Mondale, hasn’t given its 10 electoral votes to a Republican since Richard Nixon in 1972. Trump came within 1.5 percentage points of carrying the state in 2016 thanks to his strength among rural voters.
=================================
He;s wasting his time in MN, which is always a good thing. A tax cut for the middle class? That's what they touted it as but the reality is that it is a tax cut for the uppermost classes & a tax increase for the middle class & citizens of Blue states. They juggled the withholding tables to make it seem like you were getting more in each pay check but the end of the tax year saw refunds dwindling. Bad timing, Donny.
