the real value in the tax information to me is further realization of how poor and (at times) unethical of a businessman Trump is. whatever it takes to not lose too much.
It also is disturbing that Trump has so poorly invested the money that he inherited from his father. Decades ago if he had put his money into the safest possibly LOW return investment fund he'd hypothetically have like 2 or 3x what he has now.
Also even if there are loopholes in which you can tank struggling business to write off your losses by not having to pay taxes- is someone who has repeatedly done that someone you WANT running the economy?
I mean somewhere like China similarly does whatever it takes to maintain their economy by making their currency as cheap as possible as to make a favorable trade pattern for other countries (currency to currency) and encourage people to trade with them. Trump sort of reminds of that, artificially keeping afloat by taking advantages of loop holes that in the long run do not strengthen or build up your business or economy. Again, Trump would be in a lot better position if he didn't do ANYTHING for the last few decades (essentially).
His taxes are relevant because he paints himself as an extremely clever businessman when the reality is he regularly has had to jump off the boat for his struggling businesses and that his father's estate adjusted for inflation should be worth far more than it is now but Trump handled the assets terribly
