There are a lot of one percenters whose taxes went up. They would have gone up more, as Trump wanted to increase the tax rate on top earners beyond the 43.4% federal rate (over 50% in many states) except that Gary Cohn, a Democrat talked him out of it. We've been back and forth here about the economy and while you're right, the president doesn't have nearly as much to do with it as people think, Trump's corporate tax cuts and deregulation did have a positive effect on recent economic performance.
