Will Trump use any of his power to get a higher tax level out of them? I expect not but it would look good to his supporters, and getting a few billions here and there would do good for the debt.

He doesn't care about his supporters, he only pretended to to get elected. Now that he actually defied SCOTUS with no repercussions whatsoever, proving once and for all he is king, he has no one left to please, only power to consolidate.

Every one of those pennies was essentially stolen from the American people.

What I'm really looking forward to, is when the EU investigates the "donations" big tech's been giving to Trump whilst requesting he make this exact same problem disappear in Europe. And what happens "after Trump" to the people committing these felonies.
