He's working on it, not done yet. Democrats in Congress not giving him the 15% corporate tax rate he wanted could maybe have slowed that down, dunno.

Republicans control both Houses of Congress. Democrats control nothing. Try again.

Republicans control both Houses of Congress. Democrats control nothing. Try again. They have filibustered virtually everything and called it "resist."

I remember when he was campaigning, and said "Only the Democrats can fix it for me". He also claimed trade wars are easy to win, and he's Tariff Man (a tariff is a taxduh). So he has plenty of tools at hand and hasn't been shy about using them. He got his huge tax cut for rich fucks passed, for example. Somehow that wasn't filibustered to nothing. And yet, the trade deficit GROWS.
What SPECIFICALLY does he need Democrats for wrt trade? So far, like you, it's been to shift responsibilty to.
Here's what it is, rally: he's a stupid, ineffectual man-child whose lies you swallowed due to your emotions. Now blame others, the buck stops with NotTrump. Nothing is ever his responsibilty.

What tax cut was that? I think they got the same cuts as everyone else.

Republicans have a majority in both the House and the Senate. He doesn't NEED the Democrats. He can get any shit he wants passed without them. So, the question becomes "Why can't this man unite his party behind him?"
In fact, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (also known as the 2018 tax bill) passed with NO Democrat voting for it. None. So clearly the Republicans could have given Trump that 15% tax rate he said he wanted.
Next excuse?
