But I think we can count on the WH to arrange a cheering section for President Fragile Ego...
From the Springfield News-Leader yesterday:

Trump is expected to speak shortly afterward about tax reform, though the president is not known for sticking to his scripts. He's expected to depart after the conclusion of his speech, and a White House spokeswoman said he had no other events planned in Springfield.

"It's not a public event,", a White House spokeswoman told the News-Leader. "It's a closed event."
Asked who besides members of the news media would be allowed in, the spokeswoman said, "That's what you'll be covering on Wednesday."

"That's what you'll be covering on Wednesday."

(590 posts)Holy cow! Imagine how insanely unpopular a Republican president has to be (with the public and his own party) in order to hide while giving a speech on tax cuts!

They have to avoid being too careful here. Emphasize what people will LOSE.

Tax reform is our business, too.
