President Trump on Wednesday said his proposed tax cuts will benefit the middle class and the rich “will not be gaining at all” with his plan.

“The rich will not be gaining at all with this plan. We’re looking for the middle class and looking for jobs, jobs meaning companies – looking at middle class and jobs,” he said during a bipartisan meeting with lawmakers in the White House.

“I think the wealthy will be pretty much where they are,” he added. “If we can do that, we’ll like it. If they have to go higher, they’ll go higher, frankly.”

Trump has been spearheading a bipartisan effort to get lawmakers to sign on to a plan to reform taxes and even hosted a White House dinner on Tuesday for Democratic and Republican senators.

He also broke bread Wednesday with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to talk tax policy.

The president also signaled that he’s willing to stick with his desire to lower the corporate tax rate to 15 percent, even though Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin has been skeptical that it could go that low.

“I don’t know if we’ll be able to achieve that [15 percent rate], given the budget issues but we’re going to get this down to a very competitive level,” Mnuchin said Tuesday.

​But Trump said the rate needs to be that low so the US can be competitive.​

​”It would bring us to the level where ​C​hina and other cou​ntries​ are. And we will be able to compete with anybody​ – ​nobody will be able to touch us. ​S​o we would like to see 15 ​percent,” he said.

Lawmakers emerged from the meeting optimistic.

“He made a point over and over again that this is not about giving tax cuts for the wealthy,” Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-LI) said. “The most important thing about this meeting was not necessarily all the specifics, it was the cultural change that took place here where Democrats and Republicans were sitting together in a room that don’t necessarily agree on the issue but are trying to say we are trying to get things done on behalf of the American people and to do that, we have to do it together.”

Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) said: “The president was clear . . . there would not be tax cuts for the wealthy. He said he thought the wealthy would be the same but possibly even higher.”

Trump has been spearheading a bipartisan effort to get lawmakers to sign on to a plan to reform the tax system, and hosted a White House dinner on Tuesday for Democratic and Republican senators.

He also broke bread Wednesday with Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) — whom he once called “a clown” and “a loser,” respectively, on the campaign trail — to try to find common ground on taxes.

Trump stunned fellow Republicans by agreeing with Schumer and Pelosi on a deal for short-term debt extension and Hurricane Harvey relief last week, with many saying they were furious over the move as well as his ongoing public criticism of GOP lawmakers.

Asked why no Republicans were invited to attend the Schumer-Pelosi dinner, administration spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders lashed out at ex-President Barack Obama.

“This president has done more for bipartisanship in the last eight days than Obama did in eight years,” she said.

“The president is negotiating on behalf of the American people exactly what he was elected to do. They were sick and tired of business as usual. They wanted somebody who would break up the status quo, that would bring people from both sides of the table together to have conversations,” she said during a press briefing at the White House.

But Trump also signaled that he wants to stick with his plan to lower the corporate tax rate to 15 percent.
