Tax avoidance is legal, tax evasion is not. Regardless if he is guilty of evasion, if Trump loses his dispute with the IRS, which takes the position that Trump should not have gotten a 79 million dollar rebate, he would owe the US government about 100 million counting the interest.
His supporters are very impressed about him supposedly donating his presidential salary, though.

He donates™ his salary to the grift train he's installed. Just like he pays his daughter to consult his daughter.

BINGO!
There is not one republican or democrat who wants to pay taxes. But the sane understand it is needed.

That's how they got Al Capone.
No wonder we've reduced funding to the IRS. Maybe it's time we fund the Tax Police.

The poorest americans are the most audited. They know they can squeeze john q for his pennies in a way that the one percent can't be squeezed for their millions or billions.

Money equals power.
Steal a loaf of bread, you get years in prison. Steal from the vulnerable like Wells Fargo, you get rewarded. But if a rich person like Bernie Madoff steals from other rich people, that is the only time they pay.

Rich Americans are audited at a higher percent. But it's lower than it used to be, in large part due to budget cuts (and in part due to auditing people with Earned Income Tax Credit, because our politicians are more concerned about poor people accidentally getting money instead of rich people getting away with paying less. It's much easier to audit poor people, because it can be done by computer while auditing the rich usually takes actual human beings.
