Moguls is ridiculous. >> steven, the presidents plan cuts the top tax rate for the wealthy from 39.5% to 35%, so how can he say it doesnt help the rich including him? >> well, i think -- by the way, don, i worked with donald trump on the campaign and i helped write the tax plan. its very similar to the plan that came out yesterday. so im very familiar with it. i think its probably silly for him to say hes not going to benefit from it. i think what he should say is every american will benefit fro...
