How Trump clarified his position on taxing the wealthy

[Cigar]

Donald Trump clarified Monday that he doesn't plan to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans in the aggregate, despite seemingly saying so during interviews aired Sunday.

"On my plan they're going down. But by the time it's negotiated, they'll go up," Trump said Sunday on ABC's "This Week."

But Trump told CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day" that he was referring to changes to "my tax proposal" -- not the existing tax code -- when he said rates could go up. He meant to communicate that he was open to top rates higher than those in his proposal as part of the negotiations to get tax reform passed, but also maintained they would remain lower than the current rate.

"Now, if I increase it on the wealthy, they're still going to pay less than they pay now," the presumptive Republican nominee said. "I'm not talking about increasing from this point. I'm talking about increasing from my tax proposal."

LOL. It seemed pretty clear to me. He said several times that his plan is the starting point for negotiations. All of you slow walkers need to find a way to keep up.

I absolutely LOVE Trumpkins .. in particular the ones who rationalize literally every flip, every flop, and every indication that for conservatives?

He's actually a progressive playing y'alls like a fiddle - one of these if you will:
