So what if Trumps taxes are under "audit"? He's "worth" ten billion!

Even if we stipulate that he is under audit, and that by disclosing his taxes, things go badly and he has to pay a huge penalty, so what? He's supposedly worth ten billion. Even if the penalty was a million or even much, much more, that would be chump change to someone who is supposedly worth ten billion dollars. What his is essentially saying is that his money, his finances are more important than the "American People" he thinks he's worthy of leading. How is he getting away with this?

Even if his fictional audit went badly because of his disclosure, wha.t would his worse case fine be? A million. Ten million? For a guy who's worth ten billion that would be chump change. The "American People" have a right ton know, blue he's essentially sayin he's too worried about what might happen to his $.
