"- I am still waiting for the link to back up your claim that the .1% got over 50% of Trump's tax cut."

I gave it to you. And I said I won't be doing your homework.
uscode.house.gov

Meanwhile, you posted an article claiming 45% went to the wealthiest .1% Americans. AMERICANS. The article SPECIFICALLY OMITTED foreign investors.

The foreign investors have almost a universal effect of RAISING that number, since the wealthiest tend to invest more in the US, so the MACRO DIAL turns that way. And since foreign investors got MORE of the Trump tax cuts (over 15%) than did American workers (less than 15%), it would take a math moron not to see the number is over 50%, easily. And once you add in the cost of interest, going largely (natch) to the wealthiest...

...well, you either understand macro math, or you don't. Asserting over half the Trump Tax Code changes DIDN'T go to the world's wealthiest .1% is just admitting you don't understand the US tax code.
