What does Donplorable mean exactly by "he's the only one that can 'fix' them(tax laws)"?

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
I know our complex tax laws better than anyone who has ever run for president and am the only one who can fix them. #failing@nytimes


I keep seeing the above tweet as a "response" to the 95 tax return info.

Can some reporter please have him clarify that by "fix" he means "change irs laws so EVERYONE can use this genius strategy"? Thereby bankrupting country, or if he means "fix" in that what he was able to do in 1995 is WRONG and he will instruct irs how he did it so they can stop that possibility?

There's no way he means the latter, but either choice is enough bullshit to make any clarification trouble.

and whatever he can dream up to put more money in his pocket.

Any of his supporters who think that Trump would promote changes in the tax code favorable to them are, of course, their usual delusional selves.

and probably grant himself and all his cronies pardons in the process.

BTW. Where is Trump parking all this debt he's accumulated?
Do we know all his offshore shell companies? I don't know
if we've ever had acomplete and honest accounting of
the Trump Organization.
