President Donald Trump, facing doubts about the speed of his promised tax reform, said Thursday he will announce a plan in a few weeks. In a meeting with U.S. airline executives, Trump spoke again on removing regulations for American businesses. "Lowering the overall tax burden on American business is big league ... that's coming along very well. We're way ahead of schedule, I believe. And we're going to announce something I would say over the next two or three weeks that will be phenomenal in terms of tax," Trump said. In a press briefing on Thursday, White House spokesman Sean # told reporters that Trump realizes middle-class Americans need tax relief and that the U.S. needs "fundamental comprehensive tax reform."It just astonishes me that we're talking about "doubts about the speed" of anything when the guy has been in office less than a month. He hasn't even got his entire cabinet confirmed, and the task of doing so is taking up a lot of the Senate's time - before they can even think about putting the focus on making major legislative changes. Yet Trump is supposed to have already worked out how he's going to overhaul the Leviathan that is the federal tax code?
