In the eyes of US president Donald Trump, nearly every American has grown richer. Elaborating on the 2017 economic outcomes during Christmas dinner at his Mar-a-Lago estate, the US leader took credit for what he views as his successful role in making US citizens richer with his tax reform. Grand gestures and ambitious statements like that are very typical of Donald Trump. And he does have a reason to be proud as his tax overhaul has been called the biggest on record. The tax plan is supposed to benefit both corporations and individuals. The principle Trump follows is as clear as day — if you want to make it into history as a do-gooder, cut taxes. It looks like a very smart and well-weighed move pursuing the ambition to serve a second term. If Trump’s reform proves efficient, he is sure to gain massive support for election. This will come as no surprise, as Americans always prefer increasing well-being and improving quality of life to bland economic stability and standstill. Being a true American, Trump is perfectly aware of it. And this is exactly why he said at Mar-a-Lago, “You all just got a lot richer.” Apparently, Trump implied that his own reform underlies this change.
