So either he's lying...or he's guilty of massive tax evasion, because you can't just hide $7.1BN is assets from your government.



Probably tax aversion which is legal and all large companies do it. If taxes weren't so high then perhaps companies and the wealthy wouldn't need to be hiding their money offshore.



"Aversion" and "evasion" are not the same: if it was the former, his purported income would be verifiable (As we all know, it is not.). If it was the latter, his purported income could have been sheltered from the government (As we all know, this is very common and very illegal.). To add to that point, no one really uses the term "tax aversion," because it doesn't really refer to any financial term. If you heard someone say, "Donald Trump's assets are greater than what's on record, because of tax aversion," they were almost definitely referring to him being guilty of tax evasion.
