Why on earth would he, as President, promote things that would cost him millions of dollars? He's proven that he'll find any and every loophole imaginable to avoid paying out what he owes, is that magically going to change because he's elected President?

This is a different argument then the one the press is making. This is Trump is a liar who will never implement the policies he is campaigning on. I would agree with using this as evidence for that line of argument rather than Trump is a hypocrite. What's funny though is pointing our false hypocracy is probably more effective than actual nuanced conversation about issues.
