    The "two sides of the debate" are going to be:

    The right: Trump is a high IQ genius for epically owning the government and keeping his hard-earned money

    The "left": Trump is a bad bad man, unlike all the good billionaires who pay at least $751 in taxes and do legitimate-ish charity work.

    Actual systemic critique, at least in the mainstream media, will be scant to nonexistant.

      Honestly I expect it more to be:

      Dems: He's not a good American, he didn't pay any taxes, how can he be a patriot if he won't pay higher tax!?

      Trump: Of course I don't pay any more tax than I have to, why would I? You wrote the tax laws, I didn't pay any tax because Obama and Sleepy Joe here gave me a tax break. It was their law. I just followed it. I create jobs and I mean who likes paying taxes? No one. If you care so much why don't you raise everyone's taxes? Are you going to raise taxes?

      Dems: No, we're not going to raise taxes. Of course not. But you did it through a loophole, a loooophole! It wasn't in the spirit of what we intended. You used a loophole!

      Trump: Yeah, your loophole. Thanks by the way. Besides, you're all doing it, you're all doing it. At least I run businesses, not like Hilary's crooked charity that does all that creepy stuff. Where's Hunter's tax return? etc etc
