Trump makes sure the R's will take the blame for his tax scheme [View all]

"Trump Floats Raising Taxes on the Rich" is the chyron on CNN. But there's a caveat. He admits that the Republicans probably won't do it, but HE is okay with it.

So when the tax give away passes, he can throw up his hands and say "who me? I wanted to tax the rich."

The Republicans are such dolts that they will let themselves be used like this. But either way, I will bet anyone that there is NO WAY this congress is going to "tax the rich."
