    It’s not too much of a reach to see a 2nd trump presidency promoting new laws that look progressive on the surface - higher tax rate on billionaires with the intention of putting himself on the top of the “richest men in America” list. Just takes a a little carve out in the law that presidents (for life) don’t have to pay this new massive tax.
