I respectfully disagree because I would bet, if I were a betting man, far more people try their best to pay as little taxes as possible than just write a check without attempting any write-offs.  

It's still shady. It just means a lot of people are willing to do something shady if it doesn't mean trouble for them. But you'd expect a leader to lead with example, and Trump doesn't exactly set a good example here.

That's where we differ as I don't think it's shady to reduce my tax burden and if I do it yearly I see no way I can then claim others are shady for doing the same.
