Ok so see the part of the problem is when people start lumping together things like this that are vastly different and trying to present them as equivalent. It doesn’t work, hurts the argument against either, and just makes the person saying it sound uninformed and therefore easy to dismiss.

In this case, one of these is very likely a criminal offense involving undisclosed lobbing connections with foreign nationals while the other is an example of a citizen exploiting our tax system and exposes a systemic problem of inequality in our tax code.

See very different. Both bad, but bad for very different reasons. Many people will simply not have a problem with someone, anyone, even Trump, taking advantage of the tax code to pay as little tax as possible.

I think he is one of the worst humans to have ever existed, but as long as he is following the rules and accounting things properly in his taxes, kudos to him for paying as little as possible. (Outright lying or cheating is a different thing entirely.)
