In "THE MAN WHO RAN WASHINGTON," @sbg1 and I report on how Trump tried to pressure Jim Baker when he was Treasury secretary to drop plans to scale back the real estate tax breaks in the landmark 1986 tax reform legislation. "He came in there like a stormtrooper," Baker told us. — PolitiTweet.org

Baker brushed him off and pointed out the window to the White House next door. “A guy that wants to do this is in that building and you need to go over there," Baker told him, meaning Reagan. In the end, Baker pushed the bill through Congress and Trump complained bitterly. — PolitiTweet.org
