Donald Trump tried to turn the page on a week of political controversies with a speech outlining his economic policies.
In Monday’s address to the Detroit Economic Club, Trump embraced tax rates that congressional Republicans have proposed, which includes a large cut for the wealthiest Americans. He also proposed a reduction in the corporate tax rate from from 35 percent to 15 percent. Trump said he favors tax deductions and credits for child care, eliminating the inheritance tax and a freeze on regulations that Republicans say stifle economic growth.
At least for a day, Trump seemed to be in step with most in the party he represents.
