Are you speaking about Trump? If so...

Trump does not own a corporation. He has a private business empire. He's rather unique in that aspect among billionaires.

Corporate tax rate changes wouldn't honestly impact Trump much. But! I'm not commenting on the content of your post beyond this subject, not the quality of any regulation or EO. Just pointing out a basic flaw in reasoning. :)

The Trump Organization is a private business which has been incorporated as an LLC, and virtually everything owned by The Trump Organization is itself an LLC.

Private businesses are almost always corporations. They just aren't publicly traded

So I'm not sure what you are trying to say makes him unique among billionaires.

Right. But corporate tax cuts as written have in no way been shown to benefit the Trump Organization based on it's LLC status.

This is why I went out of my way to say I wasn't interested in arguing the details. I was merely making the statement that corporate tax cuts weren't personally beneficial to Trump.

If you wish to argue the merits of the cuts, I'm down. And I think we'd probably agree, on many specifics, more than we disagree.

that Trump wanted to fix america and not just enrich his pocket and ego via the presidency? likely none. lifetime narcisit switches political stances he held for decades to hawk merchandise and play ruler about sums up the trump presidency. while im sure he had a few true ideals that he wanted to see through i dont think any of these were deal breakers. he just wanted a pat on the back and increased name recognition. him wanting to fix america is on par with him wanting an apprentice. it was all self serving theatre.

Im pretty sure he wanted to do both to some degree because he had a bunch of kids who still have to live in this country.
