Hahahaha

From the failing NY Times.

“Donald J. Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency. In his first year in the White House, he paid another $750.

He had paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years”

I paid the IRS more than a so called billionaire ... amazing.

He is a con, a grifter and criminal, but the senate is all in and hopefully it bites them at the polls.

You can read Trump's tax returns two ways: either Donald Trump is the greatest tax cheat in US history - or he is a financial desperado hopelessly in debt to God knows who & needs every dollar he scams from Secret Service golf car rentals just to pay the electricity bill

A little RBG effect, It says right in the prayerbook that Yom Kippur is the day that God smites deceivers, wrongdoers, and criminals.

the hell he isn’t. he said that reading trumps returns leads one to think he broke the law. but he hasn’t read a return, so he has zero basis to say that.

if we can show he cheated on taxes, he should
be removed from
office. i don’t know how else to say it, and i can’t believe you’d call that dodging.

but forgive me if i’m not willing to take the word of the NYT. because again, i’m old enough to remember when rachael maddow said she had the smoking gun of tax returns, and it showed that he paid millions.

Said a true Trumpet, it also might have a lot to do with criminal activity and I think the majority of tax paying Americans might have an interest as it reflects on his credibility and honesty (hard to even type that as it is foreign to DJT). Follow the money might also might explain his protection of Putin and don’t break out the blue I already know hoe you stand on probably everything. Deny and deflect will be Trumps response to this.

"Might have" is not a notion that persuades me of anything. If the IRS finds errors or fraud in Trump's returns, that would be more persuasive than any "might have." What is not a "might have" is Trump's four years in office. I prefer his presidency to any Clinton or Obama, or thoroughly Progressive administration. I understand you disagree with me. I don't care. And I'm not interested in any "might haves" re Trump's taxes, nor in how much he paid.

or it might mean that's all he owed because he had a loss to offset his income.

If he cheated, that's one thing. If he paid what the law said he owed, big whoop.

Big whoop really? So Trump personally is on the hook soon for what many say is closer to over a billion and his businesses are tanking just like everyone else in that sector, he is a national security risk! Foreign governments are watching this reporting and making notes, DJT is now a target and mark. He would be the PERFECT asset for one of our long time enemies.

The threat to our security doesn’t go away if he isn’t elected, in fact it probably grows short term as now he would be willing to sell what he knows to the highest bidder, if you don’t think this is serious your head is either stuck in the sand or up your own arse.

Good try, I think the long con is about over. I can see the allure for Donald Trump of living in a rent free house. But I’m not sure what his landlords think of the arrangement.

We will know soon enough, since it's 35 days till voters get to decide if they want the federal government to look like a Trump business that is struggling for direction under the impulses of an unhinged CEO, deeply in debt, high manager turnover rate, low morale, countless lawsuits over questionable practices, and sinking brand reputation.

You just keep believing and while you are at it you can explain how Trump can repay $1.1B in debt while he's in the exact sectors of the economy that are getting creamed by the pandemic: real estate, travel, leisure. He's getting squeezed on his ability to make $, he's gorged on debt...He has never sold anything in his life even when it was hemorrhaging cash.

How much taxpayer money has Trump been siphoning off to keep afloat? How many secrets has Trump sold to our adversaries? How many secrets will he sell and deals will he make to keep his empire of fraud going? He is a national security danger even after he’s removed from office.

As we think through the implications of Trump’s tax returns, remember:

Trump got the US Department of Justice to tell the Supreme Court that his financial records wouldn’t be of much interest to a congressional committee investigating Trump’s susceptibility to foreign influence.
But he had 73M in foreign income, his first two years in office.

Funny Fox is already going to bat for him and running interference

'The Next Revolution' Steve Hilton's called it an Attempted take down by elites or something like that ..

seen other saying what about him not getting paid LOL


its very easy all Trump has to do is provide his tax returns

And in the SPY world and espionage owing lots of Money is what they look for to turn an Assets

And to get a security clearance in the Government or Military or as a contractor .. if your in debt you an't getting one and to be in debt in the billions and have one OMG

Remember when Jim was telling us how happy we should be with Trump for our Tax Break ... I am sure now Trumps even a bigger Hero for paying Zero taxes ...

you may want fact check this one.

Pretty sure plenty of people who carry clearances carry debt, you know, mortgages, car payments, a couple of credit cards.

I think he means excessive debt.

Like say you owe hundreds of millions of dollars to, say, I don’t know, Russian oligarchs maybe, it would make you a prime target for extortion. But that’s just one example, there could be others.

Your correct but were not talking normal debt mortgages, car payments, a couple of credit cards. Are we but you knew that

But Trump s
$421 million in loans he is personally responsible for, loans which are coming due within the next four years.

Let this sink in
a single adult would only need to make $17,900” to pay $750 in federal tax

In 2016, Trump paid $129,250 more to Stormy Daniels than to the USA government.;


This sums up his supporters well

No matter what Trump does, no matter what journalists go on revealing, he has, for the “base,” delivered on his promise to upend “the system” and inflame the élites. Some supporters believe that he has lowered their taxes (he hasn’t), defanged North Korea (he hasn’t), and ironed out the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (he hasn’t). For the Republican leadership, Trump remains tolerable because he appoints right-wing judges and cossets corporate interests.
