Giuliani’s advice to Trump: Start with things you know you can pass

Rudy Giuliani says President-elect Donald Trump should start his White House term by building up goodwill with some easy wins.

{mosads}”My advice would be the same advice that I gave President Bush when he won in ’04, and kind of wasn’t followed,” Giuliani said Thursday on CNN’s “New Day.”

“I think you go with the things you know you can pass.”

Giuliani, a Trump supporter, said he thinks former President George W. Bush and President Obama could have passed immigration reform when they came into office.

“And both of them passed on it, so now they leave it for now,” Giuliani said.

The former Republican mayor of New York City said he thinks Trump should start with tax reform.

“I think he’s got the votes for it. He definitely has the Republican votes for it in House and Senate and I think he probably has maybe, 20 percent of the Democratic vote for it,” Giuliani said.

“So he could get it done with bipartisan majorities.”
