“President Trump repeatedly says that "America is the highest-taxed country in the world." This is an alternative fact. We pay less in taxes, and our government spends less, as a share of our total wealth, than our counterparts in Western Europe and East Asia.

A lot of people who are writing for me are people I have worked with for a while so they know who I am and what I want.
