Congress is powerless to change laws as long as the no tax increase pledges are in place. Talking to them can't fix anything.
Furthermore, it's a question of morality. Is it moral for a very wealthy individual to dodge taxes, knowing that much poorer individuals will have to pay them instead? Leaders don't screw over their supporters by doing that.

Trump did not dodge his taxes. Dodging implies an illegal or at least sneaky action in order to thwart paying what is owed. That is not what happened. Trump managed his capital within the laws and in an open manner (which is how this was discovered). He calculated the best way to make the most profit legally and took it.

That's the logic he's using
Disgusting. What's worse is watching his supporters verify it

Your implying that a law was broken. By your logic supporters of both candidates are disgusting because both have done the exact same thing in the past.

Ahhh you'd be the sort who would sack your accountant if they were efficiently working within the law then.
"I demand to pay MORE taxes" you'd cry to the world.
Good man, let your beacon be the way for others.....

Here you go.
Hillary Clinton's tax returns from 2015
HRC used the exact same "tax avoidance scheme" just last year. Which means she can avoid paying 700k in taxes this year.
But of course the major media outlets have conveniently ignored this. #doublestandards

From what you're saying it sounds like we need a good negotiator to bring the country to agreement?

Trump seems to have the delusion that every time Clinton has had a position of power, she had absolute authority over the whole planet. With a wave of her crooked hand, she could have made all that ills us disappear. That is how the government works!
The PTB have been buying tax policies for decades. Of course he broke no laws, he and his ilk purchased the loopholes a long time ago

There's a video out there of an Arizona rally where Trump puts the blame on Clinton for not changing the laws when she was in Congress. "why didn't she change those laws so I couldn't use them?" He asks.
Donald Trump has a new excuse for why he didn’t pay taxes for decades. At a rally in Arizona, Trump claimed that his tax dodging is all Hillary Clinton’s fault.
Trump has no real idea how the system works.
I see you were so excited, you forgot to link to a story.
