Let's agree that everyone here is picking and choosing what they want to address. I'm trying to objectively look at things, though.
I'll go ahead and address both the DNI stuff and the tax stuff here.
--I think I stated before I don't think there was direct collusion between Trump and the Russian government. A good point Trump made is that he has a hard enough time "colluding" with his own government, let alone somebody else's. Whether agents of Trump's campaign had meaningful, purposeful conversations with Russians, asking and receiving help, I don't know.
--It's been proven there was Russian interference in 2016. Based on conclusions reached by people who have educated opinions (Coats, Mattis, etc.), Trump's behavior toward Putin seem to reinforce the idea that Putin "had something on him (direct quote from Coats)."
--All of the quotes and tweets (unless I'm misreading) is that people were going to use Trump's Russian connections against him. Trump hurt himself by going on TV and asking Russia to send Hillary's emails to him and then say he was just joking when called on it.
--The accountant is absolutely correct about claiming depreciation and other things on real estate. For me personally, the amount of losses he claims on his property (while probably exaggerated) isn't the most concerning part of the tax story. That would be the amount of of debt. As I've stated before, over $400 million in personal debt while claiming his businesses are only $34.7 million liquid would prevent him from getting TS/SCI clearance. It would most likely keep him from getting any kind of security clearance if he were a regular government or military member.
The second concern from his taxes are the fact they basically pain him as a con man. His who appeal (other than race hustler for the angry white guy crowd) was supposed to be his high-level business acumen and that he possessed the ability to step in and run the United States government like a highly-efficient corporation. His taxes show he's a highly paid TV personality who gets compensated well for selling his name to basically anybody who wants to slap it on a product. His actual business that he runs appear to almost (Trump Tower, one office each in NY and the Bay) all either be huge failures or exist solely to allow him to milk the losses in an effort to not pay taxes on his NBC and endorsement money.
The third concern is the unethical findings in them. Paying his daughter as a consultant when he also pays her as an employee and then writes off the consulting fees seems to be illegal. I'm not a tax professional but I have read several who say it is and I've read none who say it isn't.
In addition to things like that, the fact that the vast majority of his charitable donations are either to his own organization (which was shuttered after controversy and findings if I remember well) or for things like agreeing not to build on or around certain properties. Again do what you want with your money, but it's hard to buy someone as a servant leader (which the President should be) if he's a supposed billionaire who doesn't give to any causes.
--I'm going to throw this on the end because, well, I feel like it and no better time like the present.
I think the biggest issue I personally have with Trump is how he has made the Republican party look. For one, I don't ever recall a Republican having such a large number of former Republican groups opposing him. That is pretty unusual, and they all seem to have the same message. Trump has stolen the party, taken all meaning from it and turned it into his own bully-pulpit.
Jared Kushner, who makes a lot of interesting comments about his father-in-law, made the statement that they basically came in and did the equivalent of a hostile corporate takeover of the Republican party.
Listen to the rhetoric that comes from his (and his fiercest supporters) mouth. Watch the actions that he has taken and committed. Hear the lies about **** he doesn't even have to lie about.
That's not family values, fiscal conservatism or small government. It's hatred and narcissism.
One of you guys mentioned about changing somebody mind on who to vote for earlier. I'm not trying to do that. I'm just expressing my opinions and addressing some of the things you asked about.
