"GO TRUMP" or live in a 3rd world dump.
What you are saying that the taxes, deductions, and charities a candidate pays and uses has no bearing on their presidential qualification?

My question to you is why do you feel a need to shelter Trump from any criticism?

You're changing the subject. The post that I was responding to said, "he's just like me."

I will say that.
"The taxes, deductions, and charities a candidate pays and uses has no bearing on their presidential qualification". There. I have said it.

Following the law? Now, THAT has a bearing on presidential qualification. If Trump has violated a tax law, that violation would have a bearing.

George just wanted to throw more rocks and he thought Trump was dumb enough to give him a box of rocks.

Since 1989, he has donated more than $1.5 million to political causes, 62% of it going to Republicans, according to PolitiFact.

"When they call, I give," Mr. Trump said in the first Republican debate. "And you know what? When I need something from them, two years later, three years later, I call them. They are there for me."
Maybe you missed it, but Hillary is running for the Democratic presidential nomination. Also, the Clinton Foundation has seen a nice uptick in donations, but no influence to sell here folks. I mean, it's not like Hillary has a history of pay for play, say while she was SoS or anything.

Move along, move along, nothing to see here.

Hahaha, "broken campaign finance system"..

So if you are allowed to spend your own money, that means the systems broken..

Are you sure you're an american?

And Clinton hasnt been a "private Citizen", since before her husband was President..

Try again...

On your first question the answer is yes. The taxes, deductions, and charities a candidate pays and uses has no bearing on their presidential qualification or they would be required to be provided.

Your second question was answered already. His tax return of a thousand pages would be used as a distraction even if the IRS was satisfied and everything was in order. They are complicated and he is running a campaign, not a school for H&R Block.

Come on MTA guy your jealousy is showing. I don't have to have billions like him to be happy. I have more then I need financially and family wise. My wife and I are very smart with our money, will be retired shortly in my late 40s. That's the difference between you and me...ENVY. I don't have it, but you very much do.

Now answer me this, do you work for the MTA or it means something else? Because that would explain EVERYTHING.

Don't worry, you can tell me it's none of my business. You will feel great doing it! We all have a bit of Trump in us. Hahaaa

When did someones tax rate and charitable contributions become a qualification for Presidency?

I must have missed that part of Civics class

Tell me, do you get a bonus for writing off used underwear like B Clinton did once?
