President Trump hammered the media on Wednesday for failing to credit him for economic growth, and knocked Democrats for standing in the way of tax reform that would boost the stock market even further.
“It would be really nice if the Fake News Media would report the virtually unprecedented Stock Market growth since the election.Need tax cuts,” Trump tweeted Wednesday morning. “The Democrats want MASSIVE tax increases & soft, crime producing borders. The Republicans want the biggest tax cut in history & the WALL!”

“Stock Market has increased by 5.2 Trillion dollars since the election on November 8th, a 25% increase. Lowest unemployment in 16 years and.. if Congress gives us the massive tax cuts (and reform) I asking for, those numbers will grow by leaps and bounds. #MAGA,” Trump tweeted.

Trump said Tuesday he will be “adjusting” the GOP tax plan in the coming weeks, as Congress plans to propose legislation.
“We’ll be adjusting a little bit over the next few weeks to make it even stronger, but I will tell you that it’s become very popular,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
The White House has advocated for a 15 percent corporate tax rate, half of the current rate.
