Not that I believe any of these "reports," but even if they are true, I don't care. I don't care what Obama does for personal gain, nor Bush, nor Clinton, nor Trump. Obama wants to make millions working with Netflix? Good for him! Trump wants to make money doing stuff with hotels and golf courses? Good for him.

It's not my business what they made or lost money doing, or what they paid taxes on and what they didn't. That should be between that person and the IRS, just as it is for me. And it certainly isn't going to impact my vote knowing what they are doing in their own private endeavors. My wife and I have made money doing risky moves, and we've shaken our heads about mistakes that failed. We are all human and try to better our living conditions. I do not understand our nation's obsession with something private like this.

What a sitting president does for personal gain should absolutely be of concern to you, unless you just don't give a damn about corruption or conflict of interests. Do you not see how a president's personal interests could come into conflict with those of the nation, and how that could be pretty darn bad?
