1/ I'll explain exactly how this happened because I'm the person at Forbes who calculates these numbers.

This is going to take some unraveling, but here's a spoiler: The president's answer here is nonsense.

I wrote a book about Donald Trump's conflicts of interest during his first term as president.

What's happening now makes his first-term ethics issues seem almost quaint.

Who benefits from Trump's go-to tax dodge, which involves donating development rights to golf courses, then claiming big writeoffs?

One winner is Frank Bisignano, CEO of the IRS, who happens to own a house on one of Trump's newly preserved golf clubs.

Winning the presidency is a heck of a tax strategy.

The IRS has previously taken issue with charitable deductions Trump pursued after giving up development rights on golf courses.

Now he's president, with the power to appoint those who might otherwise scrutinize him.

Making golf courses look like environmental preserves turns out to be quite the tax strategy.

It helped Donald Trump shelter more than $1 billion of income and save $450 million, according to Forbes estimates.
