Trump's Taxes

WOW: NBC Fake News Lets Tax Cheat Al Sharpton Lecture Trump on Taxes

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

You saw his taxes?

You didn’t get the memo?

 

[BigOrangeD]

Twitter thread exposes the lie that Trump only paid $750 to the IRS…

Who knows. I’m not a lawyer or investigator. The Feds and states pay other people to do that. Still waiting for the answer on why he won’t release any info to shut these people up. Pretty simple concept.

Sounds like an open and shut case.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Wasn’t there a whole debate on the rich paying more taxes in the 2016 Republican primary?

Anybody remember Trump’s position on that?

And?

What is bizarre is people are defending the actual release of his returns which is a crime.

It's kind of a trend. The left have this thing about defending people who steal state secrets and make them public - like the little girly guy, Snowden, Ellsberg, etc. They get absolutely giddy if they believe it makes one of their hated, vile republicans look bad. They are really selective about which crimes they consider criminal and often it's simply based on who committed the crime. Their take on crime and treason is as you said really bizarre.

Considering the NYT's criminal and treasonous past, the legal problems associated with this stunt will never see the light of day.

Was that post from Huff something left over from another convo?

I have no idea.

All that means is that Trump gave the IRS an interest free loan of $1M and $4.2M. He could have requested a refund of this overpayment at any time after filing the 2016 or 2017 return but he decided to apply the overpayment to future years.

Trump's income tax was $750 for each year. Paying in $1MM too much and $4.2MM too much doesn't change the fact that his TAX was $750.

I'm really impressed that Trump only paid $750 of income tax in 2016 and 2017. I try to pay as little in taxes myself with my own business. That's how every business out here does it. I don't get the rage, jealousy and envy. He followed the the tax code. If you sat down to read it you couldn't finish in a 1,000 years of non stop reading. Maybe it's time the current tax code get scrapped and a flat tax implemented across the board?

With that joke, you should have forgot to post.

I’m sure he pays accountants more than all of combined pay in taxes.

How does that help the military?

It's a line from Gilda Radner on an old SNL when she played Lisa Loopner.

I don't get the jealousy and envy either... or even see why such things would exist for "a business man" who has borrowed as much money as he has, and lost as much money as he has. Trump is running a paper empire. He sucks.

Sounds like jealousy and envy.

That's about as funny as a screen door on a battleship. Why don't you make like a tree, and get out of here?

Trump properties are hemorrhaging money right now.

Right now I’d say most everyone’s is.

There's plenty of bad jokes to go around. Don't hog all the good ones.

I thought it was "make like a tree and leave.

It didn't begin with COVID. Trump's signature property - Doral - lost $162 million from 2012 to 2018. No wonder he wanted to hold the G7 Summit there. That place is hurting and needs a boost.
