President Trump is in Cincinnati today to talk about his tax cuts.
I love these events, because vintage Trump always makes an appearance. I’m not going to lie. I miss vintage Trump. I know he’s more unfiltered and obnoxious, but I miss it sometimes!
So. Tax cuts. All evidence points to the fact that they’re a GOOD thing.
"Your paychecks are going way up, your taxes are going way down…factories are coming back. Everything is coming back. They all want to be where the action is. America is once again open for business,” @POTUS says in Ohio https://t.co/bPu5Qu6vBa pic.twitter.com/OIFh1H9k43

"At the center of America's resurgence are the massive tax cuts that we just passed before Christmas," @POTUS says, saying that he promised a "Christmas present" for Americans and delivered with tax cuts https://t.co/bPu5Qu6vBa pic.twitter.com/lnatIgTVtC

“Fiat Chrysler announced 2,500 jobs are coming back to Detroit, to Motor City — 2,500. Do you know where they're coming from? Mexico!" @POTUS says, adding: "Nothing against Mexico. We are renegotiating NAFTA, I can tell you that." https://t.co/bPu5Qu6vBa pic.twitter.com/tRY1BpsGNH

“I am non-braggadocious,” @POTUS says on his effort to bring jobs back to the U.S. “Wait until you see what's happening…with what we are doing to countries that have treated us so unfairly. In many cases so-called 'friendly' countries — I don't call them friendly." pic.twitter.com/qnTEmG71Aj

Here’s where vintage Trump kicks in. He totally mocked Pelosi for being such an out-of-touch hag.
“Believe it or not, Nancy Pelosi and those in Congress who want to raise your taxes — they want to raise your taxes, they don’t want to give it to the military, where we need it.” https://t.co/bPu5Qu6vBa pic.twitter.com/ObZmjZ5GcW

He basically said Pelosi and her friends have gone SO far to the left, it’s impossible to negotiate with them.
“Nancy Pelosi — what she's doing to this country. And she has gone so far left and Schumer has gone so far left. Oh, I look forward to running against them. We have to do well in 2018. I know we will do great in 2020. I think we will do well in 2018,” https://t.co/bPu5Qu6vBa pic.twitter.com/zumAXm8C0c

And yes. Trump mocked Pelosi for calling bonuses “crumbs.”
“So, Nancy Pelosi again said that it's crumbs. She is a rich woman who lives in a big beautiful house in California, who wants to give all of your money away. And she talked about crumbs,” @POTUS says on Rep. Pelosi and tax cuts https://t.co/bPu5Qu6vBa pic.twitter.com/5qhaBzNDXN

He even took it a step further and said that Pelosi’s battiness will only help our side.
“And I think this is not a good day for Nancy Pelosi,” Trump said. “She is our secret weapon.”
“About two days after [Clinton] said [deplorables], I go to a rally and everyone is wearing shirts: ‘I am a deplorable,’ ‘We are all deplorables’…It was not a good day for her. And I think this is not a good day for Nancy Pelosi. She is our secret weapon,” @POTUS says pic.twitter.com/v0tkTZylTH

Trump also mentioned how Democrats sat on their hands during his SOTU address. He said Democrats would rather see him fail than watch the country succeed.

He mentioned one man who clapped when he (Trump) mentioned the low black unemployment rate and added, “He was probably severely reprimanded.”
.@POTUS: There was one guy when I said [during #SOTU] ‘the lowest African-American unemployment.’ He was sort of clapping. Who was that guy? He was a nice guy. I think he was a reverend…He was probably severely reprimanded" for clapping for Mr. Trump https://t.co/bPu5Qu6vBa pic.twitter.com/8UHGeyGl2q

I could watch Trump skewer Pelosi and her friends all day. It never gets old.
