On June 13th, former U.S. President Donald Trump huddled with Apple CEO Tim Cook and at least 80 other CEOs to discuss how taxes are going to be cut and business regulations will be curtailed if he is elected president, CNBC reports citing “people who attended the meeting.”
CNBC spoke with people who attended the Business Roundtable’s quarterly meeting and others familiar with what took place there, all of whom were granted anonymity in order to speak freely about a private gathering.
Trump said… he will cut taxes, including income taxes, and bring back the same economic policies he enacted during his first term, according to people who were in the meeting. Trump said he wants to bring the federal corporate tax rate down from 21% to 20% if he were to become president, according to a person familiar with his remarks.
Trump spoke for about an hour at the meeting, said people in attendance. The audience included JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser, and Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan, according to spokespeople from their companies. Apple CEO Tim Cook was also there, said two people who were in the room.
“We need a president who is at the top of his game, and let’s face it, this president is not at the top of his game,” Trump said, according to a person who was in the room.
Trump told a meeting full of House Republicans earlier in the day about the idea of imposing an “all tariff policy” that he said would enable the U.S. to get rid of income tax, according to attendees who were granted anonymity to speak about a private meeting.

I’m having a fun long weekend! Who else is with me?
No more debates. All President Trump has to say is “Mercy Rule” and go on to win the election (barring Dem ballot harvesting / dropbox stuffing shenanigans again).
Amen, and doing the same!…
So we have the choice between a serial liar and a feeble elder, and you, who supposedly in the past supported limited government, are backing the liar who grafted his way through 4 years of corrupt governance? I don’t know why you’re in support of a conman who DID NOT reduce the size of government or spending, and basically golfed nonstop while taxpayers paid for Secret Service to stay at the overpriced golf courses.
How about looking at facts instead of regurgitating the endless magat lies?
Why bother with inconvenient truths? Biden is a “serial liar” no soldiers killed under his watch, to name one and more than a dozen others. Unfortunately, @why bother you have ZERO CREDIBILITY with Democrat BLINDERS on too tight…
The proper way to refer to a former President is “Mr.”. With your headline you silently signify your choice of candidates.
No it’s not David. Referring to former presidents as “President Obama” or “Mr. President” is a standard courtesy. Same goes for former high officials. In this case Trump is going to be president again. If we lived in a normal country last night’s disaster for Biden, revealing severe cognitive decline, would prompt a vote of no confidence and an early election.
Great! Thank you for instructing me on the most effective and accurate form to address Mr. Trump.
Sur, Miss Texzen
That’s “President Trump,” or for leftists supporters like YOU with weak minds and stomachs, “Former President Trump.” Your stupidity is irrelevant…
Sorry, but I’ll take truth and competence.
Nope. It’s standard to refer to former U.S. presidents as “President.” If fact, MDN likely does it for brevity in the headline, and writes “former U.S. President Donald Trump” in their very first sentence.
Here’s a Democrat U.S. Senator calling President Trump “President Trump” in their own press release headline this year, too.
there’s nothing silent about this site’s support for former president, conman, and convicted felon trump.
Just be aware that when you throw in the “convicted felon”, you demonstrate you are an unserious person whose opinion should be disregarded.
Because reality offends you!
You are correct that it’s not precisely true to call him that until July 11th, when he will be sentenced. Then it’s proper to call him a convicted felon after that time. If he wins on appeal, then it would no longer be correct.
Biden is an incestuous pedophile, so there’s that.
Thanks for identifying as a person not interested in facts.
I didn’t realize there were so many QAnon fans around here. The ironic thing is that QAnon was created by people who promoted pedophilia in 4Chan and 8Chan.
What the fuck are you talking about? This is based on what evidence?
I’m standing behind Jill’s statement of confidence…with comforting reassurance; “Joe you answered every question.”
The Man, the President, the toddler (and the evil wife that’s blind to elder abuse).
He’s old, but he’s no traitor.
Dave, you’re still on the Russian story, I guess? I’d give Hillary a call to provide the scoop on that one. Ask about the bedsheets too…it’s so funny.
Liar.
Cry some more while you vote for a corrupt influence-peddling traitorous vegetable, you moron.
Not actually sure which side of the aisle you’re on, I could hear that accusation coming from the extremes on both sides
Freeing up $billions for our enemies in Iran makes Biden a traitor.
Biden answered every question wrong.
1. “Fine people” lie
2. “I capped insulin at $15” lie
3. “I capped Medicaid drug expenses at $200” lie
4. “No soldiers died on my watch” lie
5. “Border crossings fewer than Trump” lie
6. “Unemployment was 15% under Trump” lie
7. “Trump wants to get rid of Social Security” lie
8. “Billionaires pay 8.2% in taxes” lie
9. “Trump said inject bleach” lie
10. “Border patrol endorsed me” lie
…and many more.
Biden proved himself to be the lying, corrupt dementia patient we all know he is.
Having a dementia patient in the WH proves 2 things:
-how meaningless gov is
-how f’ing stupid libturds are
Looks like Cook is leaning over to kiss Trump. LOL!
He should spit on him.
OK, Mr. Lowlife…
Wow. Respect for both men who have held the highest office in our land. I’m not seeing that, or much maturity in this thread.
Right, because what America needs is more tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy. This after his “tax program” when he was president funneled between $1 and $1.5 trillion to the wealthy. He also plans to cut funds for IRS enforcement so that corporations and the wealthy can continue to cheat, depriving America of money needed for infrastructure, schools, social programs…
Don’t get me wrong. I love Apple, and have had Apple computers before most of you have been alive (I owned the second Macintosh Apple ever sold, “The Fat Mac.” I also hold AAPL stock, but when presidents and government conspire to deprive government coffers of what is need to provide the country necessary funds, that is just wrong,
As for what Trump wants to do should he win re-election, , you might want to Google “Project 2025.”
