Trump again says he's cut the estate tax "for the farmers." Again: less than 1% of people paying the estate tax are farmers.
Trump says the tax bill will bring back $4 trillion from overseas. Even if it brought back all that money - it won't - the highest estimate anywhere is $3.1 trillion.
"We, I hate to say this, but we essentially repealed Obamacare," Trump says again.
Trump lies that the estate tax is, "for the most part," "wiped out." Republicans merely increased the threshold for the tax-free amount.
Trump on his Republican colleagues: "I look at these people - it’s like we’re warriors together.”
Mitch McConnell says "America is going to start growing again." America's economy has grown since the third quarter of 2009.
Paul Ryan: "I just want to thank the American peope. I want to thank the American people for putting their trust in us."
Mike Pence to Trump: "Thank you for your boundless faith in the American people."
Pence: "President Trump has been making history since the first day of this administration."
Pence: Trump promised a "middle-class miracle," and "that's exactly what the Congress passed today."
Sen. Tim Scott says this law will help "distressed communities." It's about "single-parent moms who are looking for a reason to be hopeful in 2018," he says.
Trump: "We can say Merry Christmas again. People are saying Merry Christmas again."
I don't think there is a single stupider Trump lie than the atomic nonsense of "I brought Christmas back." I will never get over it.
"Mr. President, I have to say: You're living up to everything I thought you would," says Sen. Orrin Hatch. "You're one heck of a leader."
Orrin Hatch: "I came from very humble roots, and I have to say, this is one of the great privileges of my life, to stand here...with the president...who I love."
These Republicans are not so much selling the tax bill to the public as selling Trump's greatness to Trump.
House Leader Kevin McCarthy to Trump: During the campaign, "you listened to voices that no one else was listening to."
