OrangeVerse XVIII: Keep on Truckin'

The president took himself and his entourage off to Pennsylvania to talk to truckers about taxes last week. And he did talk about the Trump tax plan at length: lower corporate rates and lower personal rates, eliminating the death tax, repatriating foreign profits, and so on.

But as always, it's the rest of the story that's so interesting. Let's check in and see how well versed the president was at this event.

Why Here? Why Now?

We are here

today to

discuss

our vision

for America's 

economic revival

which has already started

It started

on November 8th.

Nothing Happens
Nothing gets done
in America 
without the hardworking
men and women
of the
trucking industry.
Do we agree
with that?
Do we agree?

Moving is Growing is Firsting
When your
trucks are moving
America is growing
Do you agree?
That is why
my administration has taken
historic steps
to remove the barriers
that have
slowed 
you
down.
America First
means putting
American truckers
first.

Where's Susi?

Where are you Susi?

Where's Susi?

Hi Susi. 

How are you doing?

You're going to be

happy

with this right?

Because you know

what

I'm going to say.

Thank you

Susi.

What I Want

I've had rich friends

of mine come up

to me and 

say, Donald,

you're doing

this tax plan - 

we

don't 

want

anything.

We

don't.

Give It Up

So many people

have come up

to me and say

give it to the

middle class.

Give it

to people

that need it.

Give it

to people

that want to

spend it.

You would be

surprised. 

Give It Up, Redux

But you 

finally

have a government

and frankly you

finally

have somebody

who has

given up

a lot.

My other life

was

very good. 

I have to be - 

I had

a very good life.

I had

a very good life.

But you know what, 

I'm having

a better life

now

and I'm helping

people.

It's a Grand Old Flag

The American flag

do we love

our American flag?

Right?

I think people forgot

how patriotic we are...

how much we love our country.

But American flags

will soar

high above the roads.

Our cities and towns

will proudly

display

that flag.

We Built this Future

Our children

will be raised

in homes

filled with love,

communities

filled with airplanes

that are going

back, and forth,

that's OK but 

communities

filled with hope

and a nation

filled with pride.

We will build

this future

together

as one people

and one nation

under God.
