Trump's past tweets slammed others for not paying enough taxes and claimed he pays 'more'

It's one thing to lose money, but to brag about being the greatest tax generating business success and simultaneously putting down others for not paying enough taxes... Can you see why some see that as less than desirable in a leader?

Over the years, President Donald Trump’s Twitter feed has featured messages slamming others for not paying taxes, bragging about how rich he is, criticizing those paying taxes overseas, and even claiming he pays “more taxes in one year than you pay in your entire life.”
...
That didn’t stop him from attacking others for supposedly not paying enough in taxes. In 2012, he tweeted that then-President Barack Obama “only pays 20.5%” of his earnings in taxes.


@realDonaldTrump

Trump is an American that will pay more taxes in one year than you pay in your entire life.

@BarackObama who wants to raise all our taxes, only pays 20.5% on $790k salary. http://t.co/bqF26mQf Do as I say not as I do.

He's a fraudulent loser. A hypocrite. A bastard. A conman. A cheat.

One thing that's evident: Trump isn't a politician. He doesn't talk like one. He tends to talk off the cuff.
He has a sense of humor too, in which he puts in his statements - I see that in his rallies - and, they get taken out of context.

I also think he enjoys riling his opponents - like, trolling them by making outrageous comment. And sure enough, you see the media
and everyone puffing and huffing. :LOL:

Is this supposed to be a defense of Trump? He talks just like what he is; a low life grifter and trouble maker. He does all this to distract from his scams he perpetrates. The biggest one being his latest role as president, where he pretends to give a crap about his country and its citizens.

Is it fraud? Proven?
Did he commit a crime?

Where does it say that? Cite your source, please.

You? :oops:
You believe everything you read in the media?
:LOL:

Don't be too hard on yourself. It is harder these days to sift the truth from lies.

The easy one is that everything that Trump says is grifter BS. #FakePresident
