      1/ The Republican tax bill would disproportionately benefit the richest people in America—through drastic changes to the estate tax. And yes, it could help the Trump family. http://bit.ly/2j8NSAx pic.twitter.com/qS8qN9bYHW

      2/ The estate tax, FYI, is the tax on real estate and other assets passed down by someone after they die. The bills propose doubling exemptions, and in one version, eliminating the estate tax altogether.
