IS this condition normal?
I have a 2 axle 14,000 lb equip trailer, and pull it behicnd my pickup. Yesterday i made a sharp turn and then parked, so the truck and trailer were close to being in a v. While walking away i noticed that the front tire on the trailer was leaning top in, to go with the dragging motion that the front tires will do. Is this normal flexing of the axle when its loaded down, or is this something i should lok at. When straight the tires seem straight, and my wheel bearings are also tight.

You may be having a bearing failure also. Look again at the wheel after it is pulled straight to see if it is still leaning in. I noticed on my last use that the wheel on my tow dolly was leaning in. I put a new bearing set in and now it is back straight.
