Let’s run it back for L: When Trump ran for president last year, he promised to increase the power of the presidency over independent agencies, concentrating power directly in his hands. He campaigned on promises like tax cuts for “workers” and “no tax on tips,” but in reality, his plan proposed cuts for the wealthiest 5 percent of Americans while raising taxes on everyone else.
