would be curious to hear if anyone thinks trump\MAGA\GOP can do any specific short-mid term damage to the tax-free sector.
am aware that broad tax cuts to individuals and corporations make it relatively unappealing.
could it be somewhat of a haven from chaos ?

points :
1. am unaware of any specific trump family member or crony looking to grift in this area.
2. most of the tax-free market are state+local gov groups with control of their own financing structure, not much reliant on fed trickle-down budgeting other than when initiating a project based on matching funds.
3. re-writing tax codes to make these groups taxable and compete with corporate bonds seems unlikely and not of interest to any faction.

munis so far narrowly escape trump's favors\grift\chaos radar...

"...the potential demise of tax exemption under the Trump administration had helped crimp relative performance. That risk has seemingly gone by the wayside after the “The One Big Beautiful Bill” – that is the formal name – passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on May 22 maintained muni’s tax-advantaged status (the sprawling legislation now moves to the Senate, with further tweaks forthcoming)."
