1. you are contradicting yourself. YOu can't get upset about him not paying income taxes for so many years and then make fun of him for being a terrible businessman. Those things go together.

2. Good business men make it look like they lose money. Yet somehow, they are still on top

3. Reports are that this article from the NYT or whomever released it is full of errors

4. HOw did the NYT get this info?

5. This is worthless info. Who cares? Is it going to make people stop voting for trump? This is no different than Obama's birther stuff. Has biden released his tax returns? Did Obama, did HRC?

I am not contradicting myself. You can be both a terrible businessman AND a tax fraud.

It doesn't matter HOW they got it.

It is not worthless info. It strikes at the very heart of the image he has projected. It shows him to be a liar and a grifter.

You never disappoint me with your attempted Trump defenses.

 

[steverocks35]

lol OK

Go use that same phrase anywhere in the country and see what happens. I'm sure people will understand you are just insulting the land and not the way of life or people that life there.

Ridiculous man.

Awww.. your approval means so much to me! Darn.

 

[steverocks35]

This is just the next ploy to try and impeach Trump.

Its predictable and sad

It's not a "ploy." It's information that we didn't have before that we have now.

Trump's tax returns are now in the public sphere and the results are devastating for him, which is why he has refused to release them of course. Here's what we know:
1. He's a terrible businessman. Nearly every business he has is hemorrhaging cash.
2. He has $421 million in debt outstanding which is all due 2022-2024. That's $421,000,000!!!
3. He paid zero in income taxes in 10 of the 15 years in question and in 2 of the years. 2016 and 2017 he paid $750 total in income taxes. This is strong indications of criminal tax evasion.
4. He paid his kids "consulting fees" and then deducted the amounts as business expenses.

All of this is not a surprise of course, but it's nice to have confirmation.

Yep.... dude is a total con. We all strongly suspected that, but now we know. His supporters won't read or believe it, or they won't care... They are in far too deep at this point. I am pretty sure him literally shooting someone on 5th avenue won't change the equation for them, but he is a con.

He's broke... and he's claiming huge losses in his businesses, and overvaluing his property to keep getting loans. That is called fraud.

Over on Fox News, the gigantic picture headline (main headline) reads:

"Where is Hunter Biden?"..... hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Next headline: Bloody weekend in Chicago
Next headline: Biden's team responds to Trump demands for drug test
Next headline: College football coach leaves a note that all lives matter, and quits team

18 stories down the page.... there is a blurb about Trump denying the story.

Yep the right-wing bubble will keep these people in the Trump cult to the very end as evidenced in this thread.

If this is true (which it seems to be reliable info) this is incredibly damning with the undecided, or 1 foot in voters. Of course as we’ve already seen the cult following won’t care.

No different than Obama's birther stuff? Presidents releasing their financial information is a standard practice going back a long time. Racist assholes falsely claiming that a black president must be from Africa and demanding his birth certificate is not the same.

Now, Trump is demanding Joe Biden take a drug test. In case you needed to hear it, that's not standard practice either, lol.

Haha. You’re such an idiot. You fall for the hoax every time because you want it to be true.

1. False
2. You don’t understand economics
3. He actually paid over $1 million in taxes both of those years, not $750. There is nothing illegal in the Tax returns. It’s a big fat nothing.
4. Again, you don’t understand economics and tax law. He paid the taxes he legally owes. Why would he pay more than he owes?

This is a big fat nothing burger. Legal tax return. Nothing illegal or scandalous. You’re clinging to nothing Steve. You’re pathetic.

Did hunter Biden pay taxes on the $3.5 Million received from a Russian politician with ties to Putin? He received they and more while his dad was VP. Where are those tax returns?

Once again, Dems have NOTHING.

Yep the right-wing bubble will keep these people in the Trump cult to the very end as evidenced in this thread.

They can't back out now... They've probably had 10,000 debates with people to this point. They are probably estranged from some family members and friends. Co-workers treat them differently.

I've personally seen all of this with Trump people.... I know we all have. they can't bail under any circumstance. It's too much egg on their face.

 

[SoonerBounce13]

Apparently paraently biden thinks Tripp’s are stupid bastards. I wonder why this isn’t a major story. We have video evidence. A lot more than evidence we have of trump disrespecting the military

 

[steverocks35]

Yes, Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton and every other presidential candidate sans Trump going back to Richard Nixon released decades of tax returns. That is the norm and the expectation, but Trump, for obvious reasons, did not.

Yall should go take a look at other wealthy people's tax returns.

This is comical

Yep they are all-in. This is how cults work. It gets more and more bizarre but the cult members are in too deep to realize it or to do anything about it.

 

[thebigabd]

I will go ahead and queue up the "I am not in the Trump cult, I don't even like him" line from mict.... Anytime we start throwing around the "cult" word it is sure to come.

 

[mict085]

How many lies does the NYT get to print before the dems quit clinging to their BS stories. NYT has no credibility. NONE.

This trump tax return story is nothing and it won’t sway any votes either way. The dems are desperate and continue to grasp at straws cuz they have nothing.

Awwww, it must suck to be this deep into the cult.

Maybe it is fraud. Probably it isn't.

I plausible reason for not releasing tax returns is that Trump knows the optics it would create.

People that know nothing about tax returns would attack him.
People like you and abd.

I'm not sure if it is ignorance of real life or what. I have no idea how old you are but in the real business world, there are tons of loopholes that allow businesses to avoid paying taxes. That doesn't make it illegal

Haha. You, Steve, BCS, and coolm are your own cult. You do the exact same things you claim others are doing and then call it a cult. Biden is suffering from dementia But you guys don’t care because “trump bad”. Your brains have been eroded to nothing.

 

[mict085]

Awwww, it must suck to be this deep into the cult.

You have a tiny brain. I feel sorry for you.
