It's more the hypocrisy of collecting taxes from the people you govern, whilst you yourself as a Billionaire are avoiding taxes as much as possible.
I mean Trump paid far less in taxes than his average voter according to his tax returns. How he managed that on a Presidential salary however is beyond me (and I'm a Certified Accountant).
The income tax returns of Donald Trump must be released by the IRS to Congress, the Department of Justice said Friday.
The DoJ's Office of Legal Counsel said in an opinion that the House Ways and Means Committee had made a request with a legitimate legislative purpose to see Trump's tax returns.
The decision comes more than a year after the U.S. Supreme Court said that Trump's tax returns and other financial records had to be turned over by his longtime accountants to Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. because of a subpoena issued as part of Vance's criminal probe of the Trump Organization.
claims of fraud were investigated and meritless. Okay. So he doesn’t want his tax returns to be revealed but want to push for election fraud despite their being no evidence.
Seems shady to me.

Likely decades worth of tax evasion and questionable sources of income, of which some could potentially point back to his businesses being used to laundry money in the US for foreign parties, probably for Russian oligarchs.
"Well, we don’t rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia." -Eric Trump circa 2014, saying the the quiet part out loud when asked how his family funds their projects
A federal judge has ruled that Donald Trump's accountants must turn over two years' worth of his tax and financial records to a House committee investigating whether Trump and his businesses profited from his service in the White House.
U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta on Wednesday approved a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee subpoena for Trump's records covering 2017 and 2018.
Trump doesn’t care about anyone other than himself. He’s a false demagogue and a foolish man. So is Biden. They’re both pathetic old men when a truly superior person should be president.
I have no particular rhyme or reason to be president, but if I did they’d both be left in the dust. Wait for it…
Donald Trump is scheduled to be deposed next week in New York City for a lawsuit filed by protestors who allege they were "violently attacked" by his security guards on the sidewalk outside of Trump Tower in September 2015.
Trump's videotaped deposition on Monday morning will be held in Trump Tower itself, which is located on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan's Midtown section. He will be questioned there by lawyers for the plaintiffs in the civil complaint, which is pending in Bronx Supreme Court.
"This is a case about Donald Trump's security guards assaulting peaceful demonstrators on a public sidewalk," said Benjamin Dictor, a lawyer for the plaintiffs.
The four protesters claim that Trump's security guards assaulted them and infringed on their rights to practice free speech. They said they were out demonstrating against then-candidate Trump's comments about Mexican immigrants. Trump has previously called Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals.
The plaintiffs allege that former Trump head of security Keith Schiller hit one of the protesters, Efrain Galicia, in the head after the security official tried to take away a cardboard sign that read "Trump: Make America Racist Again."
The supervisor of a voting machine warehouse in the Philadelphia suburbs is suing Donald Trump and his political advisers in a Philadelphia-based county court, saying Trump slandered him during a months-long effort to overturn the 2020 election results.
In a 60-page lawsuit, James Savage, the voting machine warehouse custodian in Delaware County, says that in the aftermath of Trump's effort, he suffered two heart attacks and has regularly received threats.
In addition to Trump, he is suing some of Trump's key advisers, including his former campaign attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis, who has largely escaped investigators' scrutiny so far.
