September Surprise: New York Times publishes Trump's Tax returns

[Free]

At least this is a logical reason for why Trump wants to steal the election: He can't afford not to be president.

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

An over 10,000 word article and the best he can come up with is "fake news".

Honestly, If he regressed to just 2 word responses from now on, I might like that.

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

Deutsche Bank ... because FOMO!

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

So he gets payed?

Not to be outdone, the Washington Post has published this, based (it seems) on recordings provided by his niece, Mary L Trump, of conversations with his sister, Maryanne Trump Barry:

Donald Trump, facing financial ruin, sought control of his elderly father’s estate. The family fight was epic.

So you thought that your wife's barber bills are high? Enter: Donald Trump!

Trump has been aggressive in claiming certain business expenses that further shrank his tax bill, according to the Times. That includes $70,000 in hairstyling expenses tied to "The Apprentice," his former television program, and classifying a New York property described by the Trump Organization as a family retreat as an investment property to write off millions in property taxes.

Now that makes me wonder how much Melania needs to pay for her hairdressing... compared to Donnie it must be a bargain.

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

Other than "Oh, shit!" and similar.

I will go with watching fox or oan saying it is great to find out what talking points to use.

And look what he got in return ... you must be on meth to consider him a master of the deal.

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.

YEP. I called it years ago that his tax returns would lend evidence that he isn't as rich as he said he was and his businesses hemorrhage money but his faithful will twist this into how he's just being savvy and evading unjust government theft.

And look what he got in return ... you must be on meth to consider him a master of the deal.

reminds me of Kim Jung Ill's hair... I remember hearing he was very sensitive about it... and spent a lot on it, but it always looked clownish like Trump's.

Well, it is a one of a kind haircut...

I would get my money back if that is the case.

They may have been about Trump's taxes.
