    The same way that shit actors manage to get themselves elected governor of California, and in some cases President?

    I was only joking

      Trump has a point about taxes.

      I think everybody with any level of income, should pay taxes. Any income.

        I think he needs to not discuss it in the debates. Been audited, no laws broken, end of story.

          According to Trump himself, the audit is still on-going, so you cannot yet conclude whether there is any law broken, the story has not ended.

            There are a lot of businessmen who would sell their souls to achieve what Mr. Trump has achieved.

            By almost any measure he is very successful.

            For example, the presidency is a prize that has eluded many talented people.

              So this image has been circulating social media meant as an indictment on Trump, but I see it as more of an indictment on Obama... What do you think?

                    One thing I haven’t seen in the newspaper is saying what President Trump income was for the years.

                      It was from his book. 1099 income. Not a lot of fancy deduction opportunities.

                        That $750 in 2017 amount is making headlines.

                        But I'm looking at the Times story and it says

                        Each time, he requested an extension to file his 1040; and each time, he made the required payment to the I.R.S. for income taxes he might owe — $1 million for 2016 and $4.2 million for 2017. But virtually all of that liability was washed away when he eventually filed, and most of the payments were rolled forward to cover potential taxes in future years.

                        So, he paid $4.2 million in 2017

                        But "virtually all of that liability was washed away"

                        What kind of statement is that? virtually? washed away?

                        There is an indication that the $750 was the amount owed on tax day, but he had already paid $4.2 million.

                        I can't say I understand what the nyt is saying, but it looks to me like they might be stretching the facts.

                          SO that mean he "overpaid" and didn't ask for a refund, rather rolled it forward. I do it every year, albeit with smaller numbers.

                            So Trump loaned the US $4,000,000 interest free to indefinitely. He’s a helluva guy!

                              He did sell his soul. Why do you think he's in such horrendous debt?

                                  It's just interesting info.

                                    It's just another opportunity for you Trump bashers to engage in your usual mental midgetry. "Oooooh, he only paid 750 bucks in taxes! Orange man bad!!" Then you find out he actually paid millions in taxes. What do you do? Ignore that and switch to "his golf courses are money pits!" When you find out that's not true either, you'll switch to yet another bit of nuttery and never bat an eye.

                                    It pisses me off that our "news media" works in conjunction with the Socialist Party to produce propaganda. It pisses me off even more to see how fucking gullible so many people are that they don't just fall for this daily dose of stupidity, but seem to enjoy being a fucking moron.

                                      What 1040s? As far as ai can tell they haven’t actually published us. Just said “We’ve seen them! Trust us.”
