1. Wasn't the SALT cap put in place by Trump's last term's tax cuts?

It’s nice of the Journal to frame it this way for the readers. You have to scroll down pretty far before it is noted that this tax issue was created by Trump and fellow Republicans inserted the $10k cap in their 2017 tax cuts, perhaps to target blue states. Now they lift the cap temporarily and blue state taxpayers are supposed to be grateful of these big rewards we reap? Putting aside the debate whether SALT caps should exist and if so to what degree, I grow tired of Trump getting credit for partially rectifying situations of his own making.
