If President Trump doesn't care about that, why should we? Surely we trust him to know what's best.

EVERY American should care. Are you OK with the IRS being used as a weapon against political opponents? Is this a precedent that you are comfortable with? This is a chilling thing that you see in police states who crush freedom.

There are plenty of things that people care about that Mr. Trump has no real reason to care about [personally] -- for example, consider, the crazy situation of Patent and Copyright: Copyright can last ninety-plus years, longer than the average lifespan of a human, from the work's creation-date; patents are clogged with thousands of vague/general patents which companies put out to "gotcha" on certain technologies, things they have no intention of developing, and things that really shouldn't be patentable (eg software patents; highly related to math, which is non-patentable).
If you're a writer, then you've got reason to be concerned with Copyright law; if you're a small/medium businessman involved in tech, then you've got an interest in patents... but do you think that Trump cares about these issues? Is he even aware? Would his apathy and/or ignorance impact the concern that a businessman or writer might have? Should it?
Now, obviously, as head of the executive branch of the government Mr. Trump should have some concern because of the Patent and Copyrights office. (But this only illustrates the problem of the excessive size of the federal government.)
