Trump had to be held back from sending in troops to fight the cartels in Mexico: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-stephen-miller-border-mexico-b1941939.html

The only reason he didn't start multiple wars, including one against our ally and neighbor, was because people smarter than him (so, anyone...) held him back.

While the Bush tax cuts had a few benefits for the middle class, the $3 trillion identified in Trump’s plan pretty much all went to the rich. And they ended up panning out even worse than promised. They cost at least $1.9 trillion...Most of the individual measures of the Trump tax cuts will expire in 2025: https://prospect.org/economy/the-impossible-inevitable-survival-of-the-trump-tax-cuts/

Trump's tax cuts were ineffective (except for being very effective at transferring more wealth to the already wealthy) and the few parts of them that did cut taxes on individual earners expire in two years, right in the first term of what Trump assumed would be the incoming Democratic President. He never cared about taxpayers, all he wanted to do was make the rich richer and make whoever came after him take the blame for a "Tax increase."
