Trump reportedly wants to name GOP tax plan the ‘Cut Cut Cut Act’

About a month into his presidency, Donald Trump hosted a White House meeting with business leaders and boasted, “I’m good at branding.” That may be true, but it’s not clear if the president has other priorities he takes as seriously.

For example, two senior administration officials told ABC News the president is determined to name the Republican tax plan “the Cut Cut Cut Act” – and this does not appear to be a joke.

Less than 24 hours before the bill is slated to be revealed, there is still dispute over the name, according to a senior congressional aide and a senior White House official.

The sources said it has been decided that the Ways and Means Committee will have the final say over the name.

According to the ABC News report, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) apparently told the president he could take the lead on naming the bill, though that proved problematic when Trump picked “the Cut Cut Cut Act.”

Ryan and House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-Texas) “pushed back” on the president’s choice, but, the report added, “Trump has held firm.”
