It's cringe-worthy to hear him rant so relentlessly about money in international talks. And of course his supporters, when trying to come up with something to praise him for, mostly focus on money. It's like they've all given up any sense of humanity or community.
"So discouraging, and embarrassing", the way some poster don't know what they are talking about!

Those, who broke their own promise and refuse to pay their fair share for over half century, somehow have the audacity to accuse Trump of being all about money!!!!

He is all about money when he wants to borrow it. But he has himself, or rather his kids in a mess with his business now. No one in this country will loan him money. After borrowing over a $Billion, $900 million on one loan, and not paying it back. Using that as a loss so as to not have to pay any taxes for 15 or so years. That's what is on his tax returns he wants no one to see. Your hero.

what used to being embarrassing was being broke and begging others to support you.

Oh, so it's OK for the Clintons and Obamas to be ultra rich and charge hundreds of thousands of dollars for a single speech?

I am not applauding his efforts to evade taxes. But how was it possible for him to do this and why is Trump being targeted instead of the tax code?

I just notice Bernie sanders on TV, not really giving a speech but just yelling at the camera how stupid the people are and we going backwards. I remember Hillary use to yell at the public too. Im not talking about just talking loud but throwing the arms, yelling at the camera, just down right mean.

got me thinking about the way that trump give speeches, yes they some hate in his speech and some item, ok a lot of items that make it unprofessional, but they are entertaining. Being yell at, i dont think i like the political correctness soapbox yelling at me anymore.

Name one person in the world that doesn’t evade tax?

Why is this remotely relevant?

Why would I do that and be diverted from the point of my post, which was to address the tax code and not the person taking advantage of the tax code?
