Republicans use the tax code to punish Trump's political nemeses

President Trump already has the weight of the executive behind his efforts to remove the financing of top universities, to change millions of non -authorized migrants and pressure from foreign governments to change their economic policy.

With the extensive bill that went through the house on Thursday Against Mr. Trump's political foils.

The legislation that could change in the Senate would increase taxes for universities such as Harvard and for immigrants and companies in countries with taxes that the Trump administration considers unfair. Owners of the Great Sports Franchise company, a group who repeatedly tried Mr. Trump and could not join, would also have a tax increase.

“If you are an ideological friend of Trump, you are generally in good shape,” said William Gale, co-director of the tax policy center, a think tank. “If you are an ideological enemy, you pay more.”

He added the increase: “Feel very punishable.”

These increases would go to the cover of some of the costs for a wide tax reduction. In some cases, however, the amount of the additional income that the government would give is relatively low, while the effects on those who are sought with a tax increase could be significant.

Consider Mr. Trump's feud with Harvard. His administration has seasoned federal financing for the wealthy university because the school did not agree to revise the campus' practices. As part of the fight, Mr. Trump also asked the Internal Revenue Service to revoke Harvard's tax exemption status, a step that could increase taxes to school, but is exposed to a number of legal complications.
