Trump's past tweets slammed others for not paying enough taxes and claimed he pays 'more'
It's one thing to lose money, but to brag about being the greatest tax generating business success and simultaneously putting down others for not paying enough taxes... Can you see why some see that as less than desirable in a leader?

Over the years, President Donald Trump’s Twitter feed has featured messages slamming others for not paying taxes, bragging about how rich he is, criticizing those paying taxes overseas, and even claiming he pays “more taxes in one year than you pay in your entire life.”
...
That didn’t stop him from attacking others for supposedly not paying enough in taxes. In 2012, he tweeted that then-President Barack Obama “only pays 20.5%” of his earnings in taxes.

Trump is an American that will pay more taxes in one year than you pay in your entire life.
@BarackObama who wants to raise all our taxes, only pays 20.5% on $790k salary. http://t.co/bqF26mQf Do as I say not as I do.
