Same US Big Corps Devastated By the 2008 Financial Meltdown Are Having Their 4Q 2017 Earnings Hammered By Trump Tax Bill

From a quick review of audited financial and income tax footnotes in SEC filings, I found the 7 US Big Financial and Auto Companies probably harmed the most economically by the 2008-09 US Financial Meltdown.

They all still have massive amounts of Deferred Income Tax Assets, the US portion of which must be written down, much of it by 43%, with a similar massive hit to their 4Q 2017 Bottom Line Earnings due to the Trump Tax Bill.

The really unfair thing happening here under the Trump Tax Bill is that these below US Companies are effectively transferring a substantial portion of their wealth by funding very profitable US Corps under the Trump Tax Bill.

And why does the US Government under the Trump Tax Bill so vindictively punish the present and past employees and the present stockholders of these US Companies again, almost nine years later?  It makes no sense to me.
