Unless you are a mouth breathing window licker, there is no way this means anything to you other than Trump takes advantage of the lawful accounting allowed to him as should everyone.

He's been doing it his whole life and apparently the IRS has never had an issue with it even after numerous audits over the years.

It's to distract from Hunter, Joe calling troops stupid and the debate and those that already hate Trump will eat it up. This isn't swaying any undecideds and certainly isn't changing any of his current support.

Wouldn;t it be illegal for anyone to actually have his tax returns in the first place? I'm struggling with how the NYT can throw this out there, fail to cite sources or provide details, and then people accept it as the holy grail.

They threw a lot at him 4 years ago and during his whole Presidency. I am not sure what they have left.

He comes out unscathed no matter what they fabricate.

The Dems say “by any means necessary” every day.

Why don’t you believe them?

You just have to close your eyes and trust them despite the fact that they have been caught fabricating Trump news for 4 years now. No really they are serious this time and really have it. No guys they really really do. Pinkie swear

Degs thoughts

quote:

Bruh. STOOOP. If you can’t logically see what’s wrong with Trump in this tax situation, you’re choosing to turn a blind eye and create your own narrative. It’s a problem because at the very least Trump lied to people who voted for him because of his perceived business sense. He has none. His businesses is took hundreds of millions of losses and he’s hundreds of millions of dollars in debt. And on the back of that he got a $73 million refund check from the federal government. Process that for a second. That. Is. A. Problem. For you to not acknowledge that means you’ll believe anything that dude says so long as his dick is still in your mouth.

Meanwhile, Americans across the land write their checks every year like good citizens with decent jobs. All the while our president is gaming the system and/or lying to the American people.


Liberal Hank

quote:

Yes, the IRS would penalize any audited taxpayer who violated the tax code. Anyone with two functioning synapses understands this.

But a perfectly-legal tax return contains reams of data which any given voter might consider to be relevant to his ultimate exercise of the franchise. Does this person invest in things that I find personally offensive? Does this person cut corners that I consider to be unethical? Does this person say one thing to the public and behave in a completely inconsistent manner?



But arguing that “the IRS would already have punished him if he were doing anything wrong“ is the most colorful of red hearings.

Always knew DEG was stupid, but wow. Obviously doesn't understand how taxes, and in this case, refunds work.

The past 24 hrs has been some of the best melts and idiotic posts I have seen in a long time.

Remember that you are referring to the propaganda wing of the DNC, and not real journalists. As such, they can create any “October surprise” supported by “a reliable anonymous source”.

The young man shot in the back of the head at that Philadelphia laundromat? That was Trump in a hoodie pulling the trigger. A “reliable source” has confirmed it.

Since it is trying to influence “undecided voters” then yeah, this works.

Who is still undecided? Window lickers.

The tax argument was a prime example of how stupid dem voters are. They thought his federal tax returns would be a multi page confession of his criminal acts and Russian scandals.

I'm sure Texridder still believes.

It only proves he’s smarter than all the idiots who are complaining how lilttle he paid. He literally found a legal way to pay virtually no income tax.
