Trump's Populist Program and Its Impact on Business Tax Reform
Trump's Populist Agenda Challenges Traditional Tax Reform
As Trump resumes leadership, his populist program is already creating waves within the GOP regarding business tax reform. Unlike 2017, a slim majority may complicate the passage of tax legislation that favors corporate America.
The Landscape of Business Taxation is Changing
Lobbyists and legislators are gearing up for legislative battles that could redefine tax policies. Trump's promises to cut the corporate tax rate, eliminate taxes on tips, and increase the SALT deduction cap must be balanced against rising national debt concerns, now over $36 trillion.
- The GOP's Shift Toward Populism

Understanding the Political Dynamics
