Donald J. Trump is certainly underappreciated in one area, and that is for being a champion for freedom, for billionaires, to participate in electoral politics.
By changing precedents so that release of income tax returns is no longer required, of them. or even the divestiture of their business holdings to avoid conflicts of interest, many more zillionaires can be encouraged to run for office and that's a good thing for democracy, isn't it?
Actually, that trend started pre-Trump by virtue (if one can call it that) of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission; Trump is merely following precedent while adding new tangents.
