Billionaire businessman and 2016 GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump tells Breitbart News Daily that he has created tens of thousands of jobs over the years.
Donald Trump has become a target of the Club for Growth, despite his status as a job creator and his aggressive tax cut plan. He’s confused:
“I’m trying to figure it out, but it’s tens of thousands over the years,” Trump replied when host and Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon asked him how many jobs he’s created over the years. “I have thousands right now, but it’s tens of thousands over the years.”
That’s why Trump thinks “it is really sad” that the head of the Club For Growth, David McIntosh, (who Trump called a “nasty guy”) is abandoning the group’s supposed support for growth-based policies to attack him.
The Club For Growth, after running attack ads against Trump to which Trump responded with a cease and desist letter, is going to a new level against the billionaire-turned-presidential candidate: publishing a white paper going after his widely-praised-by-the-right tax plan.
“As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump issued a tax reform proposal that is a far cry from the positions he’s historically taken on taxes. While his latest plan would significantly lower tax rates for individuals and businesses, questions remain about his lack of specificity on ‘…the deductions and loopholes’ that he claims would be reduced or eliminated,” the donor-funded Club For Growth wrote in the white paper.
Everyone from Larry Kudlow to Americans for Tax Reform have praised Trump’s tax plan as massively pro-growth and one that would create jobs.
The organization is heavily invested with many of Trump’s rivals. Perhaps they prefer a Washington insider who they have a history of working with. Whatever the case, it’s clear that they’re making every effort to knock him out of the race. The polls suggest that the Donald might win this one.
