[W:1011]TRUMP’S TAXES SHOW CHRONIC LOSSES AND YEARS OF TAX AVOIDANCE

Boo hoo. Address the subject.
The NYT's theft is the subject as it was the first thing mentioned in the OP.

Of course, you support theft because you are the sort of low person who does not respect the property of others.
 
His own attorney confirmed the info.

In response to a letter summarizing The Times’s findings, Alan Garten, a lawyer for the Trump Organization, said that “most, if not all, of the facts appear to be inaccurate” and requested the documents on which they were based. After The Times declined to provide the records, in order to protect its sources, Mr. Garten took direct issue only with the amount of taxes Mr. Trump had paid.

“Over the past decade, President Trump has paid tens of millions of dollars in personal taxes to the federal government, including paying millions in personal taxes since announcing his candidacy in 2015,” Mr. Garten said in a statement.
 
“The Times was also able to take the fullest measure to date of the president’s income from overseas, where he holds ultimate sway over American diplomacy. When he took office, Mr. Trump said he would pursue no new foreign deals as president. Even so, in his first two years in the White House, his revenue from abroad totaled $73 million.“

My understanding is that anyone making money while in office is automatically a crook.

That’s the one!
 
LONG-CONCEALED RECORDS SHOW TRUMP’S CHRONIC LOSSES AND YEARS OF TAX AVOIDANCE

The Times obtained Donald Trump’s tax information extending over more than two decades, revealing struggling properties, vast write-offs, an audit battle and hundreds of millions in debt coming due.

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 — largely because he reported losing much more money than he made.
===============
Well, well. Either he's not the successful businessman that he claims to be and losses more money than he earns or he's a cheat that pays less money in taxes than the working poor.

Romney was attacked during the 2012 election because he only paid 12% in federal tax. How will paying only $750, the highest in decades is going to fly?

Well, well, well. This means that trump is:

A. A tax dodger, just like he was a draft dodger, or
B. Not nearly as rich as he claims he is, or
C. A crook, or
D. All of the above!

This isn't the crimes you were looking for. 😂

We've all known that Trump has properties that lose money for about 30 years. So now we are supposed to be pissed that he uses the tax code properly? :rolleyes:
 
His moron cult won't care, we know how stupid they are.
Why should we care? You dont know the first thing about tax law, particularly when it comes to real estate so your opinion would be based solely upon ignorance (what else is new)
 
Why should it?

I agree with this sentiment. Nothing is moving that needle. This is just pure joy at Trump’s very public humiliation. You can call him out for being a racist, rapist, mass murderer, but nail him as a garbage capitalist who couldn’t make money selling slushies in the desert? Orange is gonna be the new red.
 
Trump has always been a failure at business the ONLY thing he knows anything about is real estate and basically there he is just good at being a slimy used car salesman


MAGA vote out Trump
From the NYT:

"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 — largely because he reported losing much more money than he made."
 
I did not vote for Trump thinking he loves handing over to the IRS billions of dollars. We got him at no salary. Good enough.

Do I trust the veracity of the Times of NY?
No salary? He costs you millions a month in rent and other fees when he visits his own hotels and golf courses. He makes way more of the US taxpayer golfing, than he would get in salary as President.

Voters care if the reason they voted for him was because they were under the false impression that he was a savvy businessman.

But you leave off the next paragraph which explains that those were not income taxes:

“With the term “personal taxes,” however, Mr. Garten appears to be conflating income taxes with other federal taxes Mr. Trump has paid — Social Security, Medicare and taxes for his household employees. Mr. Garten also asserted that some of what the president owed was “paid with tax credits,” a misleading characterization of credits, which reduce a business owner’s income-tax bill as a reward for various activities, like historic preservation.”

Folks, if this doesn't make you mad about the tax code then you need to wake up. If any of us had a loss on a house or a stock, we get to right off peanuts. But when a corporation makes giant losses, they get to write it off for years. The tax code is a product of corporate and individual greed. They take us for suckers. Of course Trump did not pay anything for years, its all legal. And who wrote those codes? People like Trump did. Wake the F up.

It’s more evidence that Trump has either been:

A. Falsifying his tax filings.
B. Committing a plethora of crimes related to bank fraud.
C. Both

This doesnt disprove that. And you cant seriously believe that this information would cause a Trump supporter to switch his vote to Joe Biden, a guy who hasnt run anything in his life other than his mouth.😂
