It's hard to know what his true interests are. But based on his actions, and his lack of desire for publicly stating his net worth or tax returns, I think he is very interested in maintaining not only his worth but also his companies'.
Trump is the first President in a long time that can directly be influenced by foreign governments through his business and property holdings.
I think that his tax returns are a huge distraction. When they leak, what will change? Everyone already knows he doesn't pay much tax. His fans see that as a good thing.
The only thing that could change out of it is if there is a line item "Russian bribes". But that's unlikely, especially since I tend to think his ties with Russia are philosophical, not financial.
1)piss everyone off except his core vote base
2) be forced out of office
3) launch a movie/book/tv show
4) profit
I don't think his original plan was to win the election.
These countries were already hard for US citizens to do business in (hence no Trump holidings). I don't think Trump cares much about money - he is interested in Power.
"Corruption" is a distraction. I also think the thing about his tax returns is the same.
