Trump touts military, victory over ISIS at National Prayer Breakfast



“President Trump used his platform at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday to honor the military and tout his administration's success in the fight against the Islamic State,” Sarah Westwood writes in Washington Examiner. “‘Together as Americans, we are a tireless force for justice and for peace. We have witnessed this truth over the past year,’ [President Donald J.] Trump told the annual gathering of Christians at the Washington Hilton hotel.”

Lt. Gov. Tim Griffin (R-AR) writes in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that “we haven't seen this sort of bold tax reform since President Reagan's tax overhaul in 1986.” Lt. Gov. Griffin notes that “it is becoming increasingly clear the law is an overwhelming success. Nearly every day, another American company announces it will give bonuses to workers, increase wages, or improve employee benefit packages.”

Washington Examiner reports that “retail chain CVS Health plans to boost benefits and increase starting wages for employees to $11 an hour, a change it credited to the Republican-backed tax law President Trump signed late last year.” Kimberly Leonard writes that “overall, the company is seeing a $1.2 billion gain in tax savings from the law.”

“A few days ago, President Trump also articulated a vision of a strong, resilient America,” Kevin Roberts writes in The Hill, applauding the President’s State of the Union Address. Roberts says that while Democrats refused to applaud for things like veterans and low unemployment, President Trump laid out “a vision of peace, prosperity and freedom.”

“The Congressional Budget Office says that federal revenues in January added up to $362 billion. That's an increase of $18 billion— or 5.2% — from the year before,” the Investor’s Business Daily Editorial Board writes. “Individual income and payroll taxes, it says, rose by $68 billion...Those gains in wages and salaries are likely to continue, if not accelerate, under the tax cuts.”
