Fact checking Jeb Bush’s attack on Donald Trump’s ‘tax plan’

Indeed, Trump hasn’t released an actual tax plan – he reportedly will do so later this month – and his comments about taxes on the campaign trail have been ambiguous, at best. It’s his personality, and the rest of his policies, that they can’t stand. ‘I was speaking from the podium. “Trump further said that “[the audience] all stood there and didn’t go back [to their chairs]” when he started speaking.
