Trump’s Taxes Show Chronic Losses and Years of Income Tax Avoidance (Published 2020)

The Times obtained Donald Trump’s tax information extending over more than two decades, revealing struggling properties, vast write-offs, an audit battle and hundreds of millions in debt coming due.

Donald J. Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency. In his first year in the White House, he paid another $750.

He had paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years — largely because he reported losing much more money than he made.

Surprisingly, he hasn't tweeted about it yet. He's still too busy patting himself on the back for his SCOTUS nominee.

He's probably at loss for words, for once.

Other than "Oh, shit!" and similar.

So, soon we'll get to see how he looks in an outfit that matches his face, I hope.

Who, other than the Russian Mafia, would loan him $421 million?

The orange one has said he's worth at least 10 billion so 421 million? Pfft, whatever.

He's said a lot of things - quite a lot of things - that turn out to be not true. So...

Part of the New York investigation alleges that he inflated the value of his properties to get loans.

Indeed, and that is where dear Ivanka comes into play. She was very much a part of that. IIRC an investigation a few years back revealed that he was doing it worldwide with some of his real estate/resorts.

There's nothing to weigh there. if by some fluke the wretched piss stain gets another four years, just fucking foreclose anyway. Treat the fucker the same way you'd treat anyone else.

And do not accept any money that does not come directly from his personal bank account.

I certainly hope the Al Capone rule still applies. But how do you put a prison uniform on a turd?

I'm reading all this and I'm like "Why the fuck am I paying taxes again?"

This won't sway anyone. The jokers of The Cult are already firmly in the "TaXeS aRe ThEfT" mindset and probably see this as proof of how "smart" The Asshole is.

Yep, he said that very thing during the 2016 debates and nobody raised an eyebrow. Somehow, people who dutifully pay their taxes each year have been conned into believing that the wealthy, or those who can otherwise avoid it, are smart.

It's not like those taxes go to anything useful. It's similar to how they scream and holler with Trump to repeal Obamacare when they very well likely will need it themselves, or are already using it.

And it begins. The 12am rage tweetstorm. Could this be about his taxes? Who knows.
