As others have pointed out, the people who said Trump is a genius for NOT paying his taxes aren't going to suddenly turn on him because he's a dumbass who DOES pay his taxes. I don't get why his PR team decided to start the spin that not paying taxes makes him smart if he did indeed pay them, but meh...politics has gotten super political these days.

Since this is compared to the whole "Obama wasn't born in America" thing, I have to wonder how his critics would have responded if he said "I was born in Kenya, but that makes me a genius because I pulled myself up by my bootstraps from a grass hut to the most powerful position on earth. Suck it, haters!" Yeah yeah, Constitution and all that but my point remains. Oh and then he DOES produce his birth certificate and the liberals would be like "SEE, I TOLD you he was born in Hawaii! I bet you feel pretty stupid now!" and then conservatives would be all like "But then why did he admit to it and start making excuses and spin?" Geez, we could have been pulling this crap for an additional 8 years!

On a personal note, it is rather fun to take criticisms, completely admit to them, and then spin them into absurd positives.
