This is a good summation of the first New York Times article on Trump's taxes from a different website.

L Oh Freaking L

So, apart from some extreme assumptions in this article, the jest of it is that he is a bad business man.

Definitely an impeachable offense!

You like to "LOL" a lot instead of making any actual arguments. I guess it's understandable since you don't have a lot to work with when defending Dear Leader.

My argument was in the post.
There were grumblings before he won in 2016 that a lot of his businesses were losing money and he inherited all his wealth.

These tax returns are not concerning in the least.
Maybe I missed it but your article you posted (full of speculation and assumption) never mentioned anything illegal. Simply that it shows he is a bad businessman

Improper tax deductions and violating the emoluments clause of the Constitution are illegal the last time I checked.

Of course the returns are not concerning to you in the least. I'm not really concerned either because it wasn't surprising that he's a dumb grifter. He's basically a stupider version of PT Barnum. But a lot of people who only knew him from his made up image on The Apprentice might be surprised to know that not only is he a tax cheat but he's also awful at running businesses.

1. There is no proof that he did anyting illegal
2. He isn't the one that compiles and files his return.

Do you do your own taxes? I don't. I hire someone that is smarter to do it than I am. I give them what they need and they file them and find all the loopholes they can. If they file them incorrectly, not my fault

I don't think the intent is to impeach him... it's to show he's a fraud and vote him out on November 3rd.

As it relates to said election... Here is what I am seeing out there...

  • Trump is trying to delegitimize the election. Saying its rigged, etc. This is basically his primary message. Misinformation, confusion, and trying to make a mockery of the election
  • Trump is accusing Joe Biden of being on drugs.
  • Trump and his allies are talking a lot about Hunter Biden again

The first debate is tomorrow night... Trump is going to have to defend the following:

The healthcare plan Trump promised is still not available... He promised it again within a few weeks at the time of Chris Wallace interview, and it never showed up. He either knows what's in it won't be popular, or there isn't one. If it comes up, I bet he promises it will be out soon again. He's been doing it for years.

About 33% of the country approves of his signature accomplishment, the tax reform bill.

They've barely built ANY new wall on the southern border, and he took money from the military to build it. This is a total failure. It's embarrassing. Any objective observer should be able to claim that this just isn't going to happen. It's a failed policy, and Mexico certainly never paid for anything.

The guy bankrupts all his businesses.... He's losing lots of money. And may be in legal trouble for tax fraud.

205,000 Americans have died of Covid-19. He barely even talks about it. It's not politically advantageous for him. So he is basically just dodging it all together. In his words, "it is what it is".

He claims to have a special relationship with murdering dictator Kim Jong Un. Even recently tweeting his support for Kim Jong Un and his health. American president. American Republican president... Friends with a murdering thug dictator.

Farms are going out of business at high rates due to his trade war with China. He's been shelling out billions in government aide, without which, our entire farming industry would be in deep trouble. He's had to give out $50 billion in aide to farms to keep them in business in 2 years. An all time high.

He's the incumbent... He has to defend this stuff. The debates probably won't go well for Donald Trump. That's partly why you are seeing the drug strategy from Trump.... He's trying to distract people even on the debate. It's not about him defending his record. It's about Joe Biden being on drugs. "They'll give him a shot of something", he says. Anything to avoid talking with the mess he has on his hands.

This would normally be a tough situation for an incumbent.. but he is different. He will just lie, blame others, invent conspiracy theories, etc and people seem to be willing to go with that. It's worked well for him for a long time.

Lol. Biden is going to get scorched thats why all dems dont want him to even debate. Please at least concede that reality. Its crystal clear, that going into the debates, trump is clearly the favorite. Biden can't even think/talk

This is another thing I hear a lot when Trump get's criticized that makes me laugh. "You are obsessed with him!" It's mostly used when there isn't any other way to defend him. It has to be some sort of logical fallacy, maybe thebigabd knows which one it is.

This also makes me laugh. Biden has been in many debates and is busy preparing for this one. Trump isn't even pretending to prepare for this debate, has no grasp of the issues whatsoever and will probably go off the rails at more than one point. Also, Trump can't stop lowering Biden's expectations which is really dumb.

Well Trump bragged about passing a dementia test so I guess he's out of the woods in that department hahaha. I've repeatedly watched Biden answer reporters' questions and he does it much more coherently than Trump. It makes me laugh that a Trump supporter could accuse another candidate of being mentally deficient. I hope Trump doesn't suggest we all drink detergent or swallow UV lights again to fight Covid-19 during the debate.

Some people like to hide (whatever floats their boat). The posts about hate crime (factually based). And the recent post on ballot harvesting by Omar. To be recognized by those who are realists is a separate issue from being ignored by delusional people. The notion of being ignored is purely bad is an inaccurate assertion for I find it a blessing. Have a safe and cool sunny day.

I love how you think the NYT has no credibility.... but you think Donald Trump does. One day you will look back on this and realize how absurd this all was. I am confident in that.

The NYT has been proven a liar. The Pulitzer was given to them and then the entire story was a falsehood. They’ve lied in every story about trump. The Russian hoax was total BS that cost millions of dollars all because of a NYT story full of lies.

Despite all of the BS from the dems and their media arm, they’ve found nothing of substance on Trump. He’s the most scrutinized person in history and you’ve got NOTHING.

Trump paid the taxes he owed. Period. Nothing illegal. No ties to Russia or anything else untoward. You’ve got NOTHING.

Oh, and he will be re-elected by the American People and you can cry for 4 more years. You and Steve can cuddle each other
