Charles Barkley is mockingly thanking Republicans for a tax cut that will allow him to buy a Rolex watch, quipping he knows he can count on the GOP to “take care of us rich people.”

“They say it’s gonna trickle down,” the basketball star-turned-sports commentator told his co-hosts Thursday on TNT's “Inside the NBA,” of the Republicans’ sweeping tax-reform plan that won congressional approval on Wednesday. The White House said that President Trump Donald John TrumpBiden on Trump's refusal to commit to peaceful transfer of power: 'What country are we in?'

“I’m gonna trickle my fat ass down to the jewelry store and get me a new Rolex,” Barkley said with a laugh.

“I’m not going to pass it to nobody,” Barkley, 54, continued.

“Thank you, Republicans. I know I can always count on y'all to take care of us rich people, us one percenters,” Barkely said between chuckles.

“Sorry, poor people,” Barkley added.

“I’m hoping for y'all, but y'all ain’t got no chance.”

Barkley recently waded into the Alabama Senate race, campaigning for Democrat Doug Jones.
