Trump to Media: ‘I Didn’t Want You Folks to Say I Wasn’t Keeping My Promise’ to Sign Tax Bill by Christmas

‘I said that the bill would be on my desk before Christmas, and you are holding me literally to that’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "So I will sign this today rather than having a very big formal ceremony in two weeks when we were going to do it because I didn’t want you folks to say that I wasn’t keeping my promise. I am keeping my promise and I'm signing it before Christmas. I said that the bill would be on my desk before Christmas, and you are holding me literally to that. We did a rush job today. It’s not fancy, but it’s the Oval Office. It’s the great Oval Office. Just to conclude, our country is doing very well. We've tremendously cut regulations. Legislative approvals, for which I’m given no credit in the mainstream media, we have I believe 88, which is number one in the history of our country."
