Jesse Watters Takes Issue With Trump Tax Speech: We Don’t Want ‘Obama’s 3rd Term’

Fox News’ Jesse Watters took some issue with President Trump‘s speech on tax reform today, saying he still wants to see some “meaty cuts” on the table:

“I’m not happy about a few things. He’s holding out the possibility of still raising taxes on the very wealthy. This is Obama’s third term. This is not what people signed up for. I don’t know where he’s coming off, I guess this is the populist thing or the deficit hawk deal. I don’t get it.”

“I also don’t like,” he continued, “that he’s only cutting the top rate from 39 to 35. I think it’s too timid.”

Watters did praise other parts of the tax reform plan and concluded, “I think there’s a lot of good things, there’s some bad things, but on the whole, it’s much better than what we have now.”
