AP FACT CHECK
Trump gives Republican leaders
Trump takes credit
rallying cry, roadmap for change he hasn’t earned
By ERICA WERNER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Pres-
ident Donald Trump gave
Republican congressional lead-
ers a rallying cry and even a
roadmap as they try to push
through a sweeping and divi-
sive agenda on health care,
taxes and more.
In his first address to a joint
session of Congress, Trump
said largely what GOP lead-
ers were hoping to hear Tues-
day night, staying on-message
and talking in optimistic tones,
even weighing in at one point
to settle a brewing dispute over
how to repeal and replace the
Affordable Care Act.
Vice President Mike Pence
said Wednesday morning that
Trump showed Congress and
the nation his “broad shoul-
ders, big heart, reaching out,
focusing on the future.” Pence
spoke on MSNBC’s “Morning
Joe.”
House Speaker Paul Ryan
declared the speech a “home
run,” pointing to Trump’s
embrace for the first time of tax
credits — a central element in
the Republican plan to replace
former President Barack
Obama’s health care law.
Tax credits
Those tax credits have
sparked a fierce conserva-
tive backlash in recent days,
imperiling GOP efforts to
make good on the party’s long-
stated promise to get rid of
“Obamacare” and put some-
thing better in its place. Ahead
of the speech congressional
Republicans had been unsure
how far Trump would go in
backing their plan, with some
pleading openly with him to
do so, and many were elated at
what they heard.
“We should help Americans
purchase their own coverage,
through the use of tax cred-
its and expanded health sav-
ings accounts — but it must be
the plan they want, not the plan
forced on them by the govern-
ment,” Trump said, as Repub-
licans cheered and Democrats
sat silently in their seats.

President Donald Trump addresses a joint session of Congress on Capitol Hill in Wash-
ington, Tuesday. Vice President Mike Pence and House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wis. listen.
It remains to be seen
whether Trump’s endorsement
of refundable tax credits will
be enough to tame rebellious
conservatives in the House
and Senate who have criticized
them as a costly new entitle-
ment. The initial response from
one key conservative group, the
Freedom Caucus in the House,
was full of praise for Trump’s
speech without mentioning the
divisions over tax credits.
“We were pleased the pres-
ident reaffirmed his commit-
ment to fully repeal Obamacare
and replace it with patient-cen-
tered, market-driven policy.
We share his vision,” the group
said.
Taxes
Trump also addressed taxes,
another major issue that is
dividing Congress. After weeks
of sending mixed signals,
he provided hope to House
Republican leaders pushing
a tax overhaul that would tax
imports but not exports. But
he stopped short of explicitly
endorsing the proposal.
“Currently, when we ship
products out of America, many
other countries make us pay
very high tariffs and taxes —
but when foreign companies
ship their products into Amer-
ica, we charge them almost
nothing or almost nothing,”
Trump said.

Without providing specif-
ics, Trump said he will propose
to change that.
Rewriting health care and
overhauling the tax code are
the twin pillars of the Repub-
lican-run Congress’ legislative
platform this year and GOP
lawmakers have been eager for
guidance from the president on
both counts.
House Ways and Means
Chairman Kevin Brady of
Texas welcomed Trump’s
remarks on taxes, and said “It
was also great to hear the pres-
ident’s strong support for our
efforts to repeal Obamacare.”
House leaders hope to meet
an ambitious goal of pass-
ing health legislation through
the House and maybe even
the Senate before mid-April.
That was looking in doubt as
divisions surfaced ahead of
Trump’s speech, and it remains
to be seen whether the deadline
will be met.
Democrats, accustomed to
jeering at Trump as he veers
off message, advances false
claims or resorts to personal
insults, argued that in deliv-
ering a speech that did none
of those things, Trump gave a
wrong impression of how he
has comported himself as pres-
ident after five weeks in office.
“President Trump’s speech
had an air of unreality because
what he said tonight was so dif-
ferent than how he has gov-
erned in the first 40 days,” said
Senate Minority Leader Chuck
Schumer of New York.
Schumer said Wednes-
day that despite Trump’s call
for unity, the president “hasn’t
reached out” to Democrats.
Instead, Schumer told CNN,
Trump’s actions “have favored
the hard, hard right. That’s not
where America is, that’s not
even where the Republican
Party is.”
Trump planned to continue
his legislative push Wednesday,
meeting with House and Senate
leaders for lunch at the White
House before leading a legis-
lative affairs strategy session.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell also summoned
senators to a closed-door after-
noon meeting on health care to
hash out divisions on the issue
in that chamber.
But Republicans’ enthusias-
tic reception to Trump’s speech
could belie tough fights ahead.
Trump called on Congress to
approve a $1 trillion infrastruc-
ture bill, something likely to set
up a clash with deficit hawks,
and also renewed his call
for money for a border wall,
which could provoke a spend-
ing fight with Democrats and
even the threat of a government
shutdown.

TRUMP: “Since my elec-
tion, Ford, Fiat-Chrysler, Gen-
eral Motors, Sprint, Softbank,
Lockheed, Intel, Walmart and
many others have announced
that they will invest billions
of dollars in the United States
and will create tens of thou-
sands of new American jobs.”
THE FACTS: Trump is
taking credit for corporate
jobs decisions that largely
predate his election. In the
case of Intel, construction of
the Chandler, Arizona, fac-
tory referred to by Trump
actually began during Barack
Obama’s presidency. The
project was delayed by insuf-
ficient demand for Intel’s
high-powered
computer
chips, but the company now
expects to finish the factory
within four years because it
anticipates business growth.
Some of the job announce-
ments have come after com-
panies, such as the wireless
carrier Sprint, reduced their
numbers of workers.
More important, even as
some companies create jobs,
others are laying off workers.
The best measure of whether
more jobs are actually being
created is the monthly
employment report issued by
the Labor Department, which
nets out those gains and
losses. The department will
issue its report for February,
the first full month of Trump’s
term, on March 10.

WASHINGTON — Pres-
ident Donald Trump boasted
Tuesday night about corpo-
rate job expansion and mili-
tary cost-savings that actually
took root under his prede-
cessor and gave a one-sided
account of the costs and ben-
efits to the economy from
immigration — ignoring the
upside.
A look at some of his
claims in his prime-time
speech to Congress:
TRUMP: “According to
the National Academy of Sci-
ences, our current immigra-
tion system costs America’s
taxpayers many billions of
dollars a year.”
THE FACTS: That’s not
exactly what that report says.
It says immigrants “contrib-
ute to government finances by
paying taxes and add expen-
ditures by consuming public
services.”
The report found that
while first-generation immi-
grants are more expensive
to governments than their
native-born counterparts, pri-
marily at the state and local
level, immigrants’ children
“are among the strongest eco-
nomic and fiscal contributors
in the population.” This sec-
ond generation contributed
more in taxes on a per capita
basis, for example, than did
non-immigrants in the period
studied, 1994-2013.
The report found that the
“long-run fiscal impact” of
immigrants and their children
would probably be seen as
more positive “if their role in
sustaining labor force growth
and contributing to innova-
tion and entrepreneurial activ-
ity were taken into account.”
became president.
The head of the Air Force
program announced sig-
nificant price reductions in
the contract for the Lock-
heed F-35 fighter jet Dec. 19
— after Trump had tweeted
about the cost but weeks
before he met the company’s
CEO about it.
Pentagon managers took
action even before the elec-
tion to save money on the
contract. Richard Aboulafia,
an analyst with the aerospace
consulting firm Teal Group,
said there is no evidence of
any additional cost savings as
a result of Trump’s actions.
