Playing the "donated salary" card again? I really thought the spin cycle would've come up with a better excuse by now.

Whatever, I'm sure his followers will buy it.

If he's not done anything illegal no one has to buy anything.

I'd be far more worried about politicians having unexpected income streams than run of the mill tax avoidance.

"run of the mill tax avoidance"...sad how it's so normalized you don't even see it as a problem.

And yeah, I am worried about the unexpected extra income from becoming president that the report confirmed. Quite sus.

Oh, and the massive debts to unknown foreign entities.

You would have to be an idiot to not avoid taxes to the best of your ability.

Wouldn't it have been, like, really really neat though, if the president chose to actually do something about it at any point during the last four years?

Oh wait he was still taking advantage of the system all this time? Oopsie, guess we'll just not talk about that.

Oh but there was, like, a big tax reform bill or something, right? I think the Republicans were working on it for a while. And maybe this would've been a good opportunity to shift the tax burden off working Americans and clean up the tax code, yeah? But what's that? It shifted more of the burden onto working Americans? You don't say.

Well shucks. It's a good thing we have such a successful businessman running the country.
