Trump wasn't the one giving college grads handouts despite their advanced earning power
Trump was the one trying to get high earners to pay their fair share of federal taxes instead of getting breaks for star taxes
Why did you leave those off?

Debt relief for college grads making less than $125,000 might be a handout to the middle class, but it’s not going to the top 10% let alone 1%. And I don’t see how defunding the IRS and lowering corporate tax rates is making the wealthy pay their fair share.
Absolutely rich powerful interests successfully lobby both democrats and republicans. But there’s a difference in degree. And student debt wouldn’t be the example Id jump to in showing Democrats being successfully lobbied by wealthy interests. The truly wealthy don’t care about student debt.
