Is it really unusual for a rich man to be audited every year? I thought it was routine for large corporations to be audited every year, though maybe I'm wrong on that, presumably because there's so much opportunity for dubious (not illegal, just borderline) tax saving that it's worth the deterrence and negotiating effect.

I hope people have better arguments against Trump than, "he's a Big Mouth." At that rate, he'll be President.
