President Trump’s Saturday tweet on the GOP tax bill sparked many negative reactions on social media.
“Getting closer and closer on the Tax Cut Bill. Shaping up even better than projected. House and Senate working very hard and smart,” Trump tweeted on Saturday. “End result will be not only important, but SPECIAL!”
However, Twitter users seemed largely skeptical about the bill’s benefits, with tweets like, “You call it a tax cut but ultimately it only cuts taxes for the wealthy in the long run,” and “I’m sure all the rich people are really happy!”
“Better for the top 1% or for the real people???” wrote another tweeter.
“The tax bill that the vast majority of Americans do not support. The one that says it benefits the middle class when in fact it benefits the wealthy,” someone else tweeted.
The Washington Post published a piece on Saturday, delving into the tax bill’s divergence from Trump’s campaign promise.
“As top lawmakers from the House and the Senate now rush to complete negotiations to push the tax plan into law, it amounts to a massive corporate tax cut, with uneven – and temporary – benefits for the middle class that could end up increasing taxes for many working families in future years,” the Post noted.
