"Trump spoke as House Republicans on the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee huddled behind closed doors to discuss the plan."

Behind closed doors?  I am skeptical that it will be good for the middle class.  The rate may lower slightly but any benefit will quickly evaporate with all of the deductions removed and in the end the middle class will be paying more than they were before.  (i.e. the mortgage interest deduction, also rumors that 401K contributions will now be taxable.  We should be looking at ways to incentivize saving for retirement.  We shall see.)
