Yet, interviews with voters in swing-voting Wisconsin show scant evidence of damaging impact from The New York Times' reporting this week on Trump's long-secret tax returns. Likewise, Cathy Gerring, a 60-year-old part-time employee from the north Milwaukee suburb of Shorewood echoed, “I just feel he’s a smart business owner.” Mary Herrick, down the street from Willer in Oshkosh's upscale subdivision notes Trump's donation of the president's salary as a counter to criticism of his tax burden. Bob Poeschl, a politically independent member of Oshkosh's city council, calls revelations of Trump's tax maneuvers “appalling, but typical of this president." “I find it out of touch with the American public and how hard they have to work to get," Poeschl, a low-income housing manager, said on the front porch in Oshkosh's politically mixed Washington Avenue neighborhood.
