President Donald Trump has a victory coming, "a home run," with his tax-reform plan announced this week, but expect some "back and forth" debate as with healthcare, economic pundit and Trump campaign adviser Larry Kudlow said Sunday, per The Hill.
"I can't think of anything better for business, better for wage earners, better for economic growth than Trump's 15 percent tax cut plan," Kudlow told "The Cats Roundtable" on 970 AM-N.Y.
"I think it's a home run."
Kudlow acknowledges there will be still be considerable debate, perhaps even a "struggle," in getting the game-changing reform passed in a stalemated Congress that has blocked everything President Trump has tried to do to date.
"I know there [were] disputes about it, and there were contradictory statements made in recent weeks, but we won," Kudlow told host John Catsimatidis. "And I think Trump – this is a terrific victory for the president. He has set a marker on tax reform and economic growth."
President Trump, having failed legislative and executive attempts thus far on healthcare reform, travel bans, and getting funding for the border wall, is not getting resistance just from the left either.
"I think you are going to see continuous – I won't use the word struggle, John – there is going to be a lot of back and forth," Kudlow told Catsimatidis.
Conservative and moderate Republicans have not been on the same page with House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and might share skepticism the tax cuts can grow the economy enough to "pay for themselves over time."
"I think Paul Ryan doesn't agree with that," Kudlow told Catsimatidis. "I think he needs to rethink his views there.
"But I think this and healthcare will come together. I think there will be agreement . . . on these issues."
