    Joe may have if he misused his public office to enrich his family. It's a pattern, he did the same for his brother a few decades ago.

    Hard to be a failure in business and own an airplane. And again that doesnt address what I said. He followed THE IRS LAWS! just like you do. So again DO YOU pay extra or the least amount you can based on the LAWS?

    I don’t know that he did. I’m sure the tax liability of the rich will come up in the debate.

    Zero evidence to suggest that, not even Ron Johnson’s Russia sources claimed that

    If you dont know they why are you saying what he did or didnt do? He has been audited by the IRS every year. If he was not following the laws he would be fined and charged.

    People that are angry that Trump followed the LAWS that OBAMA was responsible for creating, and then using this as a neg against Trump look foolish. If you have a problem with the Tax laws then send your anger at the people who created the tax laws..

    Lots of Board of Directors positions are filled with people who only bring a name for recognition to impress stockholders. They serve no other purpose than public relations. It's why lots of defense contractors put retired generals and admirals on their board. Name recognition to get contracts. Ain't rocket science.

    Simple solution ... like every other President, Trump could release his tax returns.

    We know Hunter is an unemployable crackhead bum, what were the Russians buying, if not political influence due to his father? BTW, Biden lied when he said he wasn't aware of his son's involvement, he was briefed about it before that statement. Will be a good question for Biden tomorrow night.

    Like there is zero evidence that Trump violated any tax laws.

    Since these tax returns of his were illegally obtained, then they are already inadmissible as evidence in court. But by all means, please keep polishing this old turd that the NYT dug up. Guaranteed that it will go nowhere and amount to nothing but a defamation and civil rights lawsuit from Trump to NYT.

    A preteen with a lemonade stand pays more income tax. Either he's a cheat or poorer than a homeless beggar living in a cardboard box and has been surviving on credit all this time. Trump is so stupid and incompetent, I'd actually believe the 2nd option.

    Trump would have to be the only person I know who started off with $M400 from Daddy and now owes a tad over $M400. That is an $M800 turnaround. To whom is he indebted? Beholden?

    They have tax relief for such things. There’s no crime in that, is there?

    Now let's be fair here. I dunno, maybe the extremely wealthy LOSE lots of money as well as make it. If Trump ever did have 3 billion then yes. he could lose 100 million a year for a whole decade and still have 2 billion left and even 1 billion could still buy the gold toilets

    It's not even a small indication that he would make a good President, but it doesn't make him a big-time crook either.

    It isn’t necessarily about breaking laws. It is about a number of other things
    - does the public have an appetite for a president who lives a billionaire lifestyle but pays less taxes than a teacher?
    - he owes $421 million, most coming due in the next 4 years. Who does he owe it to? Will foreign governments use that as leverage against him? Have they already?

    That’s funny. That’s what we said about Obama’s birth certificate and school records.

    And how much tax did his businesses pay? Still less then a teacher? If he moves money out of his businesses and moves it into his personal, then his businesses tax is going to go down, but his personal will go up. I'm sure there are lots of rich people that keep more $$ in there businesses and corporations to help protect themselves from personal liability. Who cares, and if you do, then you should be mad at THE PEOPLE WHO MADE THE TAX LAWS NOT THE PEOPLE WHO FOLLOW THEM!

    Did you read my post? The second point?

    He is potentially a national security risk. The voters should know.
