But the U.S. president would like everyone to know that as opposed to his predecessors, he is taking $0 in salary.

It does seem like a pretty monumentally egregious invasion of privacy for them to leak taxpayer data for political reasons, but $14B seems crazy.

The amount of money is an arbitrary choice, it's Trumps decision to settle with himself because he's head of government.

Also, you say it's an egregious privacy violation, but every other modern president released their tax returns willingly. Trump is bucking tradition here. As per usual.
