Why would he discuss spending cuts when discussing his tax code plan?


Because telling everyone they're getting tax cuts only to then tell them they have to pay more for x, y, and z because of spending cuts is just more crooked logic on the part of Trump, much like his border wall saving millions while costing billions... If he said not only am I going to cut taxes, but I'm also going to cut spending as we're wasting money I'd have nothing but respect for the guy finally being honest, but instead he continues to just say what low information voters want to hear...



Read the article - he does say that.


Actually even the article says he doesn't...

"Precisely how Trump would offset or pay for billions of dollars in tax relief he is promising without raising the deficit was not immediately clear. He said he would do it in part by eliminating the “carried interest” provision that allows managers of hedge funds and private equity firms to pay a much lower rate on their profits than ordinary Americans pay on their income, and by eliminating scores of other loopholes and deductions."
