He’s pointing to Julie Ellingson, a fourth-generation rancher who owns a cattle ranch with her husband. The White House says she’s concerned about how the estate tax may affect her children when they inherit the operation.<\/p>\n
The White House tax goals released in April include repealing the estate tax, which applies to people with estates worth more than $5.49 million.<\/p>\n
The New York Times recently reported that Trump’s chief economic adviser Gary Cohn told a gathering of Senate Democrats that “only morons” pay the estate tax.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump is highlighting the presence of North Dakota’s Democratic Senator Heidi Heitkamp at a tax speech he’s giving in her state, and calling on Democrats to support his plan.<\/p>\n
Trump brought the state’s congressional delegation along with him on Air Force One and at one point invited them up on stage.<\/p>\n
Trump turned to Heitkamp and told her, “Everybody’s saying, what’s she doing up here?”<\/p>\n
Trump says he hopes to get her support on the plan he’s pushing to cut business and personal income taxes and simplify the tax code.<\/p>\n
Trump says he wants and needs the lawmakers’ support, and is heaping them with praise.<\/p>\n
He says, “They’re all in good company together.”<\/p>\n
