Catherine Rampell: Trump wants more tax cuts, and I agree. Sort of.

In a Fox News interview that aired Sunday morning, Trump touted his one and only major legislative achievement — his deficit-funded $1.9 trillion tax cut — and expressed great enthusiasm for slashing taxes further.

He was vague about what “phase two” would contain, beyond shaving off another percentage point from the corporate rate. Without explaining how, Trump declared that “the rest” of his tax cuts “would go right to the middle class.”

This happens to be exactly how he described “phase one,” despite the fact that most of its benefits befell the richest households.

Trump’s “phase one,” after all, has been a huge dud among voters.
