Reaching Out, Taking Action, Leading For Everyone . . .

President Donald J. Trump wants to continue building unity by working on more issues supported by both parties, especially restoring fairness to our broken tax code and cutting taxes for hardworking Americans. Last night, the President hosted a bipartisan dinner with Senators from both sides of the aisle at the White House. Today, he will host another bipartisan meeting at the White House.
