Lawrence O’Donnell Delivers A Blast Of Sunshine With A Reminder That Democrats Will Repeal Trump’s Tax Cuts

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell told Democrats what they needed to hear as Republicans are passing tax cuts for the rich. The tax cuts for the wealthy are only temporary because they will be repealed by a future Democratic president and Congress.

O’Donnell said, “Well, the biggest danger, and there are many dangers. But every day the biggest danger of the Trump presidency is that we are always just a Trump whim away from nuclear war with North Korea. A nuclear exchange cannot be undone. What is happening tonight in the United States Senate can be undone, and it will be undone by the next Democratic president and Democratic Congress. And so it is not the worst thing that is happening in the trump world. The Democrats will repair the damage to tax law that is being done tonight. And it is damage, unlike anything we have ever seen before.”

With each unpopular move that they make, Republicans take another step toward handing Democrats total control of the federal government. From the moment that Trump signs these tax cuts for the wealthy into law, they will be living on borrowed time, because the first thing that the next Democratic president will do, likely in January 2021, is get rid of the Trump tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.

Republican control of Congress is looking more doomed by the day, so when Democrats return to total control of the federal government, they will fix the damage that will have been done by this malicious act of economic violence against the American people by erasing what will likely be the centerpiece of a very meager Trump legacy.

As long as Republicans stay on their current course, better days are just around the corner for Democrats and the American people.
