I’ll Say It Again: Cutting Tax Rates Creates More Revenue
RUSH: Tax rates are being cut. Taxes are not. The government is going to collect more revenue than they think. In fact, the Trump team gets it; they're saying it's gonna pay for itself.

Farmer Tells Us About His Meeting with the President
CALLER: What I took away from the meeting is that the image that mainstream media and others are trying to portray of Mr. Trump, in particular in regard to rural America and agriculture, that he does not care anything about that, that is just totally opposite. He shared with us many things that reinforced my belief that not only does he care for rural America, but he wants to strengthen agriculture in America which will further strengthen and make America great again.

The Art of the Deal: Classic Trump Negotiation Plays Out on NAFTA
RUSH: Now, Washington believes that we have narrowly averted a disaster, that the inexperienced, know-nothing, ribald, bodacious Donald Trump nearly destroyed one of the firm trade deals we've got by simply speaking up and shouting and ripping it apart and claiming we're gonna pull off it, causing a worldwide panic.
