“He wants America to work for him and his friends at the expense of everyone else”.
Republican House leader Paul Ryan told reporters that Trump’s comment Tuesday sounded like a “joke gone bad”. Trump argued that his plan will help small businesses.

Trump has complained previously that two debates are scheduled during National Football League games.

“He certainly has at least shifted numerous headlines towards his economic plan, but a lot of attention continues, and likely will continue, to be paid to his temperament”, Dan Mahaffee, an analyst with the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress, told Xinhua. But, he added, “I have to see the conditions”.
