"TRUMP TO MAKE CASE FOR TAX REFORM IN HERITAGE FOUNDATION SPEECH" Fred Lucas at The Daily Signal previews President Trump's speech at The Heritage Foundation tonight. He writes "Trump is expected to promote his tax reform proposal, the top legislative priority for the White House." The President has been on the road selling the need for tax reform to the American public since August.

Congress has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to deliver sweeping, pro-growth tax reform for the American people. The president will address this critical issue, and we await his remarks with great anticipation."
