Trump has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax β a boon for big corporations.
His Big Ugly Bill, which slashed Medicaid and SNAP, also gave corporations $16B in new depreciation tax breaks this year.
A windfall for the wealthy at your expense.

Most immigrants arrested in Trumpβs D.C. crackdown had no criminal records
A Post analysis of federal data shows that the arrests of immigrants with no prior criminal record shot up sixfold during the Trump administrationβs crackdown.
We'll say it again: the government is engaging in unlawful racial profiling in D.C. as they carry out indiscriminate and illegal arrests of immigrants.

Trump divided the country, extorted Zelenskyy, tried to steal an election, incited an insurrection, stole confidential documents and banged a porn star. Thatβs his legacy. He knows heβs incapable of achieving anything good. Heβs hoping his ballroom will remind people of him.

THINK ABOUT IT:
Trump is selling pardons.
Why? Is he poor?
Does he OWE ALOT OF BANKS MONEY?
π°BINGO!π°
This must be why CONGRESS is silent on his corruption.
Heβs paying back the banks he owes.
