President Trump Is Coming To Pennsylvania
President Trump is coming to Pennsylvania next week to speak in support of his tax plan.

President Donald Trump is coming to Pennsylvania next week to speak in support of his tax plan, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said during a press conference Friday.
Trump will visit Hamburg, in Berks County, Wednesday to discuss the plan. Further details about the trip have not yet been made available by the White House.
An outline of the administration's new tax plan was released last week. The plan would cut taxes for businesses while also decreasing the total amount of tax brackets, among other changes.

Supporters say it will result in well-paying jobs and provide a stimulus for the middle-class. Critics, however, view the plan as a giveaway to corporations and a tax cut that will likely benefit the rich while removing a deduction that property owners have come to depend on.
Trump's economic policies, particularly his focus on manufacturing jobs, were seen as one of the issues that helped him win Rust Belt states like Pennsylvania. Trump won 48.8 percent of the vote (2,912,941) last November, over Democrat Hillary Clinton's 47.6 percent (2,844,705).
