    Trump floated the truth that he didn't disclose his taxes on advice from his tax lawyers.

    Not really illegals broke into the
    If your income is $0 your income taxes will be $0.

    You don't pay taxes on Charity donations that doesn't make sense it's not income it's outgoing. You can get a return on your income taxes if you had an income and paid income taxes if you didn't then you won't.

    Oh, they get out of everything just repeating “I don’t recall” over and over again. Clinton did it over 100x over Benghazi. How did the data get erased? How did the phones get destroyed? How did family members get different information then the press? Simple. Just feign ignorance and you get to walk when you’re connected and powerful.

    Good luck. Do you really think any politician currently in office could weather the storm President Trump has endured for over 6 years and come out without a scratch like he has? The only reason this is still a topic is because people “trust” all the corrupt politicians currently in office.
    Think about it a bit.
    Would biden survive a 6 year intense investigation?

    And this kind of behavior is completely ignored by those that “trust” their political leaders.

    It just blows my mind that so many people that have no experience running or owning a rap estate business can just blindly criticize.

    My suggestion for the critics: next time you meet someone who says they are investing in real estate, just start calling them a criminal and accuse them of being a tax cheat even though they are just following the laws of your current corrupt political leaders.

    I mean he has had plenty of practice being a criminal / fraud so.

    I also wouldn’t say he hasn’t come out without a “scratch” but you people have different
    I am sure the right wing will make up enough for us to find out.

    Before #45, there have been other politicians who've made out like bandits coming through Washington. What's blatantly obvious is that Washington wants to pull the wool over people's eyes, with the fixation on Trump.

    No, his company had a loan from Daewoo, a South Korean company that does happen to do some business in North Korea, but are not North Korean. It’s like saying Toyota is an American car manufacturer(or Hyundai or BMW) because they have facilities here in the US.

    It isn't necessarily illegal. There are a lot of questions about the deductions, whether some of the losses and charitable donations are legit. If all of the deductions are legit, then it just means he's an absolutely abysmal businessman.

    Do you have any evidence that Trump illegally paid little taxes, or do you just want to use this for political purposes?

    I want more from our officials.

    I support a ban on congressional trading and will not support a candidate that tries to block it. If Biden has been found to be doing illegal activities I hope he is arrested and rots in prison.

    The difference with past presidents is their base didn’t find it to be a positive that they were profiting from office like y’all did.

    Your beef isn't with Trump here, it's with the tax code. Support the FairTax, or almost any of the flat tax based proposals, and this issue will cease.

    I'm not sure this is the argument you think it is. Personally this is just a great point about the ****ed up tax laws in the US that allow profitable corps to avoid paying taxes. I guess the idea that Trump isn't special in this regard is accurate, but that doesn't make it 'ok'.

    Trump never took a salary and worked for free, how can they even audit him?

    You cannot donate your salary to charity if you don't take a salary. Wonder if the tax return will show that he did not donate his salary...................
