Contrary to Trump Tweet, Senator Flake still undecided on tax bill

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump predicted on Sunday that Senator Jeff Flake will oppose the Republican tax bill, but the senator’s office says he has not yet made up his mind.

”Senator Flake is still reviewing the tax reform bill on its merits. How he votes on it will have nothing to do with the president,” a spokesman for the senator said in an email.

That is contrary to an assertion made by Trump on Sunday in a post on Twitter.

“He’ll be a NO on tax cuts because his political career anyway is ‘toast.',” Trump wrote of Flake on Twitter.

Is it 500 billion?

So the voter who ROARED with approval when dumbshit lied and said he would be the ONE candidate promising to never touch it or SS, says what now?

We are so dumb we deserve this if it happens, we do. We must.
