The problem isn't whether or not what Trump did was legal (although we can't really definitively say one way or the other without seeing his full tax returns), its an issue of civic responsibility. As a citizen in a position of wealth, and as a citizen who is interested in a career helping the country, it is his civic responsibility to pay taxes to help this country and the people of this country. I believe that him not paying taxes alongside his paltry charitable donations (thats charitable donations out of his pocket, not someone else's) speak to his character as a "me first" kind of guy and that is not a trait that is comforting in a politician, especially one with a business which creates a myriad of conflicts of interest.
