Now that's FUNNY!The statute is criminal.
But ok....I'll play.
"Criminal" or not, right or wrong, just or unjust, whether you like it or not, that statute is the law of the land in NY state.
Like ALL laws anywhere, whether you like it or not it must be obeyed....or there will be consequences if you get caught making the choice to ignore it.
Trump made that choice, who knows why?
Maybe he thought the law shouldn't apply to him because he's not just an ordinary person?
Maybe he thought he wouldn't get caught because "everybody else does it?"
Now that would have been kind of stupid because when you run for president you do tend to draw a LOT of attention to yourself. Especially if you refuse to make your tax returns public.
At any rate, if you disagree with or just don't like a law there are legal processes for getting laws changed.
Simply ignoring the laws will usually get you into trouble.
