I think you are confusing "not paying his taxes" with "legally declaring a loss as a tax deduction to offset future earnings".

Yes, it was a bigger deduction than most people, but it was technically and legally within the tax guidelines - guidelines that were left alone by past administrations. If you want to be made at someone that Trump didn't pay tax, blame the tax system and politicians that made it possible.
