Trump lied to the Democrats at his dinner last night.

Joe Manchin was quick to point out that the tax breaks were not going to be for the wealthy - they were to be for the middle-class and the working man. That is what Donald told him. And he believed it!

Of course, it is going to be for the wealthy. Democrats should not be suckered into this game with Trump. Later, when they offer up that they were lied to by the President, it will be too late.

Obviously, he could not tell them the truth. That it was for the wealthy and the stockholders of this country.

Someone obviously drank the koolaid.

On a humorous side note:

Fu Manchin

A poor attempt at growing a beard resulting in sparse amounts of long hairs growing from the bottom of the chin, resulting in a cross between a soul patch and a Fu Manchu. They are common among young teenagers and men of low testosterone who feel they are capable of growing a full beard.

My brother thinks he's got a badass beard. I can't bear to tell he has a Fu Manchin...
