President Donald Trump today expressed his unhappiness over the media coverage of his landmark tax reform bill passed in the US Senate, saying the "Fake News" was working overtime to "demean" the package.
The Senate approved the $1.5 trillion tax bill, which includes permanent tax break for corporations and temporary tax cuts for individuals, by a final vote of 51-48.
Trump, who is on the cusp of a major legislative victory, said the bill would unleash a new economic development in the country.
Trump in a tweet announced to hold a news conference at about 1 pm (local time) subject to final vote by the House.
The United States Senate just passed the biggest in history Tax Cut and Reform Bill. Terrible Individual Mandate (ObamaCare) Repealed," Trump said in another tweet soon after the Senate's passage of the bill.
