Did Trump tweet about Britain First to distract people from his tax plan?

The Dead Cat strategy strikes again. The tax plan is good for plutocrats and bad for a lot of people in his base. Best rile up people on Twitter by re-tweeting anti-Muslim videos by a British far-right group in the hope that 'populist' voters don't notice the real economic agenda.

I can't believe we are going to have to deal with a tax plan AGAIN in our lives that somehow thinks trickle-down economics will work.

@eli1601 That's what everyone thinks when you just walk away like that.

In all honesty I get it, you're being dogpiled on a bit and are defensively lashing out. It's understandable to circle the wagons and get into a contrarian posture.

But I hope you at least kept one eye open. You're at the age where you probably have a lot of money sitting out there in the market, and it's important to grasp how this stuff works. If you misunderstand the role of profit and what it represents in corporate finance, it might affect your investment decisions.

@QuixoticSoul I have done very well. Probably the smartest thing was to not only stand pat, but increase my stock market investments in and after 2008. I retired in March.
