WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump predicted on Sunday that Senator Jeff Flake will oppose the Republican tax bill, but the senator’s office says he has not yet made up his mind.

That is contrary to an assertion made by Trump on Sunday in a post on Twitter.
“He’ll be a NO on tax cuts because his political career anyway is ‘toast.',” Trump wrote of Flake on Twitter.
