Discussion: Clinton Camp Rips Trump's Business 'Genius' After Tax Revelations (VIDEO)

Trump says we should elect him precisely because he is so good at gaming the tax laws to his advantage. He pairs that boast with the implicit message he can be counted on to change those very laws, somehow being obliquely critical of the fact heā€™s prospered by their existence and simultaneously saying future taxpayers shouldnā€™t have access to such breaks.

This reminds me of those bank robbers and hackers that rent themselves out to corporations, extracting ransom to spill the beans on what security experts need to do to stop people like them.

Weā€™re supposed to elect Trump because weā€™d rather have a conniving con artist inside the Oval Office working for us (allegedly) than one in the private sector swindling us blind.

Great, great ad, awesome drums and ambient sound. Let it roll! "Makers vs. Takers"

Along with fakers, easy to figure out who the taker is on this one.

In regard to his supposed business skill it puts clown makeup on him and then throws him out naked in the snow, it folds in Bernie just to touch that base, itā€™s brilliant. Fast and deadly all the way along, and then the ending is a brutal knockout: ā€œImagine what heā€™s hiding in the rest.ā€ You canā€™t say enough about how well done that was.

"Iā€™m worth billions, Iā€™m a successful businessman, but I donā€™t pay any taxes!ā€ Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) says, impersonating the Republican nominee.

Many people are saying that his massive losses came during an out of control cocaine binge. I donā€™t know if this is true. The losses may have come about as a result of incompetence but many people are saying the cause is Trumps cocaine addiction. I am just saying.

The title on that bullshit clearly should have been ā€œArt of the Stealā€.
A missed opportunity.

Team Clinton is awesome. Letā€™s give credit to a superb campaign organization that will leave this guy in the dust.

Oh yea! That was exceptional. The media team is going to deserve their own documentary when this is over.

If this release shows what a genius he is, then he should release the rest of them to give us an even larger glimpse into his genius.

I must not be that smart since Iā€™d rather have the billion dollars than not pay taxes for 20 years

One time I saw a spider in my house so I burned down the entire house. Am I a genius too?

I wish I knew who they wereā€”Iā€™ve tried to find out with zero luck. Could be an ad-hoc team they put together themselves, no reason you couldnā€™t do that with this type of thing. But Iā€™d like to see the other types of things they do. BTW if youā€™re interested in very high-end promotional advertising, check this out. Itā€™s actually the video they show on planes about how to buckle your belt and so forth, but with a bit of extra effort:

In not being smart like Trump, you probably would have just invested that billion dollars in the stock market, which was up 37% that year.

Thatā€™s what most of us ā€œnot as smart as Trumpā€ people did.

It depends. Did you get rid of the spider?

Watching your uninsured $300,000 burn to the ground means you just suffered a $300,000 loss. Having one of your rental properties worth $50,000 burn, and declaring a $300,000 loss on your taxes, is a different animal.
There are legitimate suspicions Trumpā€™s declared $915 million loss was a smoke and mirror feat concocted by accountants for the exact reason Trump has used it, to avoid Federal taxes. He lost almost a billion because he moved a bunch of paperwork from the ā€œGood Stuffā€ pile to the ā€œBad Stuffā€ pile.

Thank you for that - Iā€™ll bet passengers applaud the first time they see it, itā€™s so different and so well done. I love seeing things I wouldnā€™t have thought of, it makes you want to work.

Yes, you are a genius. Not for having burned down your house, but for having devised your clever analogy!

Did you get fire-insurance first ?

(Trump probably lost other peoples money - and reaps the tax-benefit)
