We've seen the reports today. Yes, Trump evades taxes at a shameful rate, fewer than I personally pay in a year. Yes, he's getting "corporate welfare" in the form of those returns.
That's not going to interest Trump supporters. They LIKE that he's scamming the government. What they WILL care about is the other part of the report. Let's all point out how much of a failure at business he is, that he failed to turn a profit in 2012 during one of the biggest booms our economy ever had. THAT is going to reach Trump supporters.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
