They're being shaken down. Same as Mark Zuckerberg being summoned to a meeting with Trump and the next day paying $1m to the same fund.
I'm betting these meetings went something like, "You don't want a president as an enemy, do you? Cough up."
And don't think of it as a tax on the rich - it's not going towards the benefit of the American people. It's extortion.
It's insane that this is even legal.
I'm certain it's not - but it doesn't matter. Trump has proved that he is beyond the law in every way.
Clinton got impeached for lying and it ruined his credibility. Trump lies all the time and gets re-elected, but has no credibility to ruin.
