    Correct me if I'm wrong, but these tax returns and all the undertones of it are leading to a long sentence for Federal Money Laundering charges. At least if the lawyers that all his fake money buys can't get him out of it. Seems like when you start inferring in these articles, there's money laundering, to go with the tax evasion, everywhere.

    Drain the swamp!

    Lock him up!


    Been saying it for a while, but literally everything this guy does or says, is a projection of some crime or something similar they he's already done. Twitter is proof of this. Hilarious. He's the personification of the classic "born with a silver spoon, thinks he's smarter, better, and more successful than everyone, but is just a loser that's barely staying afloat" trope.

    Nothing nobody didnt know ... most republicans would probably be proud of him. Does show how clueless far left is in thinking these "tapes" and "tax returns" will change anyones minds.

    Sad, really. What over great businessman can run a successful business that does not turn a profit?

    If it's illegal then prosecute.

    If it ain't illegal then blame the people who made it legal.

    Pretty simple my dude.

    17 year olds are legal in some states
    .. you should check it ...out its a good look.

    "hiding income" and "fake consulting" are illegal and thats what is being chased by federal and state prosecutors.

    how many LLCs do you have? how many 17 year olds do you not want to cross state lines with? oh wait thats illegal..morally?

    cmon man

    Al Capone was jailed for tax evasion. Just think... school teachers can only deduct $250 for school supplies they purchase to teach are kids, and the tax cheat-in-chief is deducting $70,000 for "hair grooming expenses"? He wrote off $26 million in unknown "consulting fees", some of which he diverted to his daughter Ivanka, who also was an salaried employee of his business.

    Trump didn't pay income tax for 10 of 15 years before 2016 election: NYT

    Since his bankruptcies with the casinos, and then the apprentice, Trump has not been in the real estate business. Sure he a few properties that were mostly held over (even with Trump tower he doesn’t own as much of the building as you’d think), but for the most part NEW revenue is being generated via his licensing or marketing business. There are real estate shelters for sure but that’s for developers who are actually developing year over year.... not for people who bought a few buildings in 1985 with loans.

    Trump is waaayyy different dude. Special treatment is a huge understatement. Allowed criminality from the IRS is probably a better way of phrasing it. Someone at the IRS better lose their job over this or worse.

    Probably not so much for the 70-80% that already decided. For the rest, it probably does have an impact.

    The Hollywood tapes bothered the once morally class more than the left and working class. Those religious “moral” folks went back to home base.

    This tax bother a different class - the hard working everyday normal American. Really, he was that lousy of a businessman and cheated on tax all these years - 70k for hair deduction? Millions to family? What a crook.

    But, in 2016 there were more undecided, so this has less chance of an impact on that front. However, there was the Clinton file or whatever you call it that was dropped a few hours later after the Hollywood tape that we now know was a coordinated effort. They both competed for the news cycle, reducing the impact of the Hollywood tape. NYT went on to continue to run the story on the Clinton email server and hacking for days and days - for weeks.

    Unless there is something that is about to drop against Biden, there is nothing negative on the Biden side to compete with this.

    All together, this has a much greater chance of impacting the group that much less likely to ignore it and go back to a home base.

    This twitter thread is amazing... Forbes Magazine reporter breaks down the story in detail... focusing on public information on trump's debts, which substantiate the NY Times reporting (just in case anyone tries to use the weak "fake news" defense).

    Clearly FOX and CNN are biased in their reporting. But the fact that as of 7:00 AM CDT, the FOX News website had nothing on their front page about Trump's taxes is ludicrous.

    Oh, wait. I checked again before posting this and if I scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll, I find a little blurb to click on where Trump says it's fake news.

    I'd rather change the laws than moralize at people.

    It could also be both. The fact that someone can keep pushing for a decade of audits into the hundreds of million indicate there is an issue with unclear laws and with abusing it. I also wonder who else have seen his tax returns outside of the irs auditors? That might yield new finding on legal / illegal from a new perspective.
