Did the returns come from a government employee? There are a number of others in the private sector who would have had access to them.

Those here illegally have free health care under Trump. Show up in an ER and you get care. The great deal maker couldn't make a deal with the democrats on healthcare. Or immigration; he couldn't make up his mind on DACA nor masks for that matter. He was suppose to have a new great health care program weeks ago. Trump has run up the debt, why not cut spending? Again, where is the great deal maker? You can't make deals when you demonize the other side.

Trump is doing just fine causing hunger in America. He squandered the booming economy Obama left him bankrupting a nation just like he went bankrupt in business.

He paid millions and millions in "consultant fees" including 750000 to Ivanka when she was an officer of his company (not a consultant). An investigation into these questionable deductions would probably land him in jail for fraud for the rest of his life.
“Would probably” should be “will”.

True, but part of the point is that he pays so little because his businesses are in the toilet. The great deal maker, the great businessman are a fake and we now are paying the price for his ineptitude. At one time he said the pandemic was like a war, a war we have lost over 200,000 civilians to. Not even half that number of British civilians were killed by the Germans during WW2.

Like always his base doesn’t care they will never admit that they are in the wrong. What happened to all that Campaign money? It’s a tax fraud plain and simple.
Boy are you gullible.. where is the proof??



Trump made millions on a tv show.. is a go getter. Gets results too. Gives his presidential paycheck away.. got anything else that is so fake it is laughable?

The $750 is meant to generate outrage. The real problem is that his taxes are likely legal and all of this is above board. What society are when Trump can deduct, itemize, whittle away, etc., virtually all income taxes relative to his net worth, when I make ~$90k in a regular job, pay many multiples of this in federal income taxes, and cannot shield myself.

He’s legally steering the system to his own benefit. The system is the problem, not necessarily Trump personally.
At the least he is a dishonorable jerk who evades taxes. Is this REALLY the best the U.S. can do for a President? He can't even govern! He is psychotically narcissistic and shows every symptom of being a sociopath. We don't need the cruel and mentally ill in the most powerful position in the world. He needs treatment or prison, we don't need another 4 years of this chaos and madness. Do you REALLY want to go through four more years of this madness?
