I'm not sure what side of the argument you're on but actually people do use the office of the POTUS to enrich themselves. Or at least the process of trying to get it.You tell me. How could ANYONE use the office of presidency to enrich themselves prior to getting elected? (Rhetorical question).
edit: I doubt he'll suddenly become "not auditable" as POTUS, and if the IRS finds he's breaking the law, well then good riddance. Prosecute him. I think its safe to say EVERY POTUS has used the office to their own personal advantage in one way or another so meh.
If you wonder why all the GOP had 17 candidates with probably 15 having no real shot at winning the nomination, the reason for it is speakers fees. As someone who was ran for the nomination and didn't make the cut, you can triple your speakers fees and this is a highly profitable thing to do especially if you're a young candidate who has lots and lots of potential paid speeches ahead of you.
Anyway, the reason to get his taxes are very clear. You need to know who he deals with business wise so that if he makes a decision, people can objectively determine if he's making that decision to profit the american people or to profit himself. The only way to know is to have a general understanding of what he profits from.
