You should really read the whole story before you make these observations. Its bad, really bad.

Is anything that I wrote incorrect? No, it’s not.

And, no, the story is not bad. He didn’t pay taxes (assuming the story is true) because he was able to claim more losses than profits. So what? Only to the Trump obsessed is that bad.

Those prosecutors in the southern district of New York seem like they mean business. Trump has good lawyers and he is going to need them.

Breaking news: Trump faithfully follows tax laws that Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi (and others) could have changed during their decades of government experience.

More like a criminal who's engaged in illegal tax evasion at the expense of Americans. Can't wait to see him locked up in jail when Biden wins in November.

All the MORE reason to vote FOR Trump! To AVOID taxes is everyone's right, and smart. Just ask the Clinton's how they've done it for so long!

Trump also qualified for food stamps, a housing voucher and medicaid.

His tax returns seem like typical real estate developer tax returns.

Obviously the "average Joes" on this board do not understand paper losses, write offs, and depreciation tax shelters.

It's not that difficult to develop/own commercial real estate and technically show a loss that shelters large gains.

Is it news that rich people hire the best tax accountants to utilize the tax code to the best of their advantage?

These are his business taxes and massive losses. It has nothing to do with his salary as POTUS.

Perhaps you should read the article, before you start your spinning, dear. It might make the made up stuff easier for your fellow loyalists to digest.
