Twitter pokes fun at Donald Trump with #ManyPeopleAreSaying
Ryan’s primary looms: House Speaker Paul Ryan is aiming to move past his primary on Tuesday, a contest that drew national interest in recent weeks thanks to Trump.
The unveiling of Trump’s plan follows a harrowing week for the candidate, which has left him trailing Democratic candidate Hilary Clinton 50 per cent to 42 per cent in the polls.
The university’s previous poll, released on June 21, showed the two candidates tied at 40, while a May 10 Quinnipiac poll showed Trump leading Clinton 43 percent to 39 percent.
Trump’s plan includes reducing the corporate tax rate to 15 percent from 35 percent and allowing families to write off childcare costs on their taxes.
Trump proposes increased domestic energy production as a way that local and state governments can boost tax revenue.

The bombshell letter is hitting Trump’s campaign, just as it was looking for a reboot, with a speech created to jump start both the nation’s economy and his battle against Hillary Clinton.
“That’s why we need an economic plan that puts America first”, Trump continued.
But a host of independent groups crunching the numbers soon concluded otherwise.
This isn’t the first time the internet has come crashing down on the controversial businessman.
