Trump repeats inaccurate claim he won't benefit from GOP tax plan
President Trump's shaky relationship with the truth was on display again as  he  plugged the GOP tax reform plan in Missouri on Wednesday  telling a crowd of adoring fans that the Republican bill will cost  him  and other affluent Americans "a fortune."
 Nonetheless  Trump  said  he  hopes the Senate will pass the bill later this week. "Hey  look  I'm President. I don't care. I don't care anymore "  he  said.
But  Trump 's claims stand in sharp contrast to the reality of the contentious Republican tax bill.

According to an NBC News analysis  Trump and  his  relatives could save upwards of $1 billion if the tax plan that the House passed a couple of weeks ago becomes law. The prospective windfall would principally be thanks to the bill's plan to repeal the estate tax.
The plan slated for a Senate vote later this week also disproportionately favors wealthy Americans like  Trump   with a clear majority of its benefits going to those occupying the highest tax brackets  according to a study by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. Meanwhile  two-thirds of the middle class would see a tax hike by 2027 under the Senate plan  according to the same study.
