New York Times has Trump’s tax data...

[Jonathan Walkerin]

It’s that he is a lousy businessman, whose main talent is shifting losses to other people. But we knew that already. So there’s little new information here.

Not like it matters.

Those who know it probably won’t vote for him anyway and those who refuse to believe are the ones who think that bone spurs kept him from getting Congressional Medal of Honor despite his demonstrated patriotism and eagerness to confront communism in the steamy jungles of Vietnam.

 

[Albion]

So the question that should be asked: who will get prosecuted for data breach of confidential information?, no doubt abusing position and trust?

Well, no one of course!

Just like those who lied to the FISA court and got away with it, those who wiped their computers clean, those who lied to Congress under oath, and those who extorted money from foreign governments for their kids and are getting away with it.

See what a clever businessman our Donald is? He's managed to keep his taxes down to a mere $750 a year for 2016 & 2017.

10 out of 15 yrs. he paid no federal taxes at all period.
It's amazing how a billionaire can live like a billionaire and at the same time losing so much money that he has no taxable income.

 

[Hank77]

Well, no one of course!

Just like those who lied to the FISA court and got away with it, those who wiped their computers clean, those who lied to Congress under oath, and those who extorted money from foreign governments for their kids and are getting away with it.

And none of them are POTUS and never will be!

Please refrain from using your tired, old whataboutisms in this thread...thank you!

"New York Times has Trump's tax data"

That's the title and the subject of this thread. It's about...are you ready for this?...

TRUMP!

No. I don’t think the point is that he’s done anything illegal. He might have, but the NY Times data wouldn’t show it. It’s that he is a lousy businessman, whose main talent is shifting losses to other people. But we knew that already. So there’s little new information here.

Trump’s former personal attorney and senior vice president Michael Cohen wrote in his book “Disloyal,” Trump kept false accounting books.

Several states might have grounds to indict him.

TRUMP!

You know what...post whatever you like.
I apologize for trying to keep you from your schtick!

Maybe. One NYT article points out suspicious things. But you’d need other information.

I’m pretty sure that the genie won’t be going back into the bottle.

I remember when a source leaked inside information about Nixon’s staff involvement in the Watergate burglary and coverup in the 1970’s. Two Washington Post reporters were publishing Watergate stories that spread across the nation. They got rich with book and movie rights. They did not go to jail.

And they never revealed their source.

Trump’s Taxes Show Chronic Losses and Years of Income Tax Avoidance

This should be an eye opener because Trump likely worked within the tax laws to manipulate loopholes. A perfect example of why we need the fair tax. I bet you haven't heard that word in a while.

I don't remember a 'fair', I do remember a flat tax.

 

[Fantine]

Worth a thousand words.

 

[Arcangl86]

Unless tax returns are public information ,( they are not to my knoWledge) then this was unlawfully leaked, in violation of rights to data protection by statutory bodies.

Depends on who leaked them. If it was leaked by the IRS or somebody else in the government, then yes that's illegal. But if it was leaked by Trump's accountant, that isn't illegal afaik.

 

[DaisyDay]

Seems to me he's doing pretty good for himself.

You obviously haven't read the article. Donald has a tremendous amount of debt that he has personally guaranteed which is coming due soon. Most of his recent income has been from his Celebrity Apprentice, not his businesses or properties which seem to be bleeding cash.

My guess is, intentionally or not, you are spinning things and you, may not know what you are talking about, and what we are seeing may be normal for someone who's doing quit well.

No. No, not at all.

I expect that from the Times and anyone that might be against Trump are going to blindly agree with NYT, without giving the truth a second thought....that's what they do here, plain and simple.

You should consider that what the Times has published is majorly factual.

Question is, is there really a problem or is this, as they say, just business as usual?

There appear to be some problems. Consulting fees to Ivanka for projects on which she was being paid a corporate salary could be tax cheating. Writing off taxes as a business expense for the Seven Hills estate could be a problem. Some of the foreign entanglements could be a problem - Turkey especially.

Get out the popcorn! It's schadenfreude time.

I think trump just said that he's going to release all of his tax returns ... after the audit is over

Does anyone even believe that anymore?

There are those that would vote for Trump no matter what he does and there are never Trumpers but every time truth is revealed like exposing his real worth and business handling it slowly chips away the facade and votes with it. It definitely won’t add votes for him.

It does seem that the more evidence that comes out about how corrupt/untruthful/incompetent he is, the more ardent his supporters become.
