White House Watch: Trump Promises Not to Veto Whatever Tax Package Congress Comes Up With

Will the president accept just about anything on tax reform? He seemed to suggest as much at his rally in Missouri Wednesday. “If they send it to my desk, I promise all of the people in this room, my friends, so many friends in this room—a great state—I promise you I will sign it,” Donald Trump told the crowd at the St. Charles Convention Center near St. Louis. “I promise. I will not veto that bill. There will be no veto.”

The admission is what the journalist Michael Kinsley would call a Washington gaffe—an “obvious truth” that a politician let slip out accidentally.
