Trump wants to give his family a one billion dollar tax cut by repealing the estate tax.

If he were actually as rich as he says he is, that would be a 4 billion dollar tax cut.

And if you combine the total net worth of his band-of-billionaires economic team, we're probably talking about 10 to 20 billion estate tax dollars moving from the US Treasury to the pockets the families of Trump and a dozen or so of his buddies.
