Trumpās Chip Tax: Billionaires Cry, Progressives Stay Silent
Mark Cuban shocked everyone by praising Donald Trump for a tariff that makes Nvidia and AMD pay 15% of their China chip sales to the US government, dubbing it 'the ULTIMATE wealth tax.' Cuban acknowledged his own Democrat loyalties but said, 'POTUS is more progressive when it comes to taxation than anyone in the progressive wing of the Dems has ever been.'

Learning moment: sometimes the enemy gives the best tax ideas.
