Trump's first (only?) big law was a massive tax cut for the wealthy and for businesses. The parts for the wealthy and big businesses are still in effect.

Republicans passed tax cuts — then profited – Center for Public Integrity
When the price of Apple stock hit a then-record high in October 2018, among the shareholders counting their gains were
43 Republicans in Congress, who collectively owned as much as $1.5 million worth of the tech giant’s shares. Apple’s stock jumped 37 percent in its run-up to that record. Several variables were behind the climb, including
higher-than-expected earnings.
But congressional Republicans themselves had a hand in the spike,
stock analysts say.
Legislation they championed — the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act — doled out nearly $150 billion in corporate tax savings in 2018 alone. One effect: a big boost in stock prices.
Cutting tax rates for companies like Apple and hundreds of other stocks they own was one of many ways Republican lawmakers enriched themselves after they passed the tax law, according to a Center for Public Integrity analysis of the 186-page law and members’ financial disclosure forms.
Democrats also stood to gain from the tax bill, though not one voted for it; all but 12 Republicans voted for the tax bill.
How can you be so wrong? This is public information. It only happened a few years ago and received a lot of publicity.
You think I'm wrong? I can't explain the votes on this particular bill, although I think it would take more than one bill to prove me wrong. The Democrats were sucking up to the Reaganites back in the 80s (although in fairness, they were having a tough time selling their traditional ideas in Reagan's right-wing America). Clinton (who was merely a Reaganite in sheep's clothing) supported NAFTA and other trade bills which allowed big business to export American manufacturing jobs overseas. That's all public information, too, and it happened many years ago.
The Democrats used to support unions and working people. Now, they don't. They once supported keeping jobs in America, not exporting them overseas. FDR's New Deal or LBJ's Great Society are examples of programs which good Democrats used to favor. There are some Democrats who favored price controls, rent controls, and even socialized medicine, but those were the progressives who were outnumbered by more moderate liberals.
On foreign policy, there have been sharp divides among Democrats between hawks and doves. The Republicans are mostly hawkish, so their unity on the issue and the addition of crossover Democrats is how our foreign policy gets so militaristic and interventionist. Those Democrats would be slightly more liberal on domestic policies (with an emphasis on social issues over economic justice), but tend to align themselves with the Republicans when it comes to foreign policy.
You may think that I'm wrong, but I assure that I wasn't just pulling this out of my backside. I've been following US politics and have mostly supported the Democratic Party all of my life, but my frustration with them over the years has been immense.
