Shreds of the tax pages will be looked upon as holy writ when enshrined at tump’s presidential library. I say shreds because most folk discard old forms after 7-10 years… except those contemplating a run at high office.

“…of course, he ended up doing shoddy work so I said I’d pay him 25% of what we agreed, and he tried suing me but I outlasted the little bastard. But in all fairness he did great work. But it was shoddy. But really really good, the best work you can do and not deserve to get paid.”

Can I just say you nailed it: the intonation, the fragmentary logic, the closing self-praise? You’ve almost made me nostalgic for Trump: who’s going to do this when he’s gone. Except you. Perhaps we could teach a Bot to do this.

Trump’s response: “But I did a tremendous job hiring this guy. There are plenty of tax experts out there who didn’t know you can use capital losses to offset capital gains. Almost no one knows that. Except this guy. And me. I knew that, so I hired him. I did a tremendous job.”
Hillary’s response to the response: Just like your start up funds, your accountant was inherited from your father.

It wouldn’t even have to be that detailed.
Just give him a test question you’d need to be able to answer if you were hired & trained by H&R Block. I’ll bet he still couldn’t answer it.

I seriously doubt that he is an expert on anything, including the size of his johnson.

I hadn’t heard that, but it would be irresponsible not to speculate
“Black guys counting my money?! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are little short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.”

This comes as no surprise. His idiocy on business practices and general economics has been on display throughout the campaign–most recently by saying he had a fiduciary obligation to minimize his taxes–sorry, no!–shareholders don’t give a rat’s ass what he pays in personal taxes. Before that was his suggestion that us creditors take a “hair-cut” and his insistence that he can wield Mexico’s trade deficit as some kind of leverage to pay for his glorious wall. Isn’t his fiscal acumen supposed to be his strength? He is an absolute moron–on top of being the biggest prick ever nominated by a major party–but I’m preaching to the choir here–just feels good to get it out.

I would love someone to ask him a detailed question about anything–tax code, brexit, climate science, defense budget, Bundy standoff, world leaders (wouldn’t it be fun to ask him to name any world leaders he admires), price of milk or a haircut, average household income, size of defense budget, plans for NIH budget, vaccinations and autism.
I don’t have a lot of hope for the town-hall format, since they will aim for the most-popular questions on twitter. Maybe the third debate–which one is Anderson Cooper moderating?

Who chooses the audience? I bet if he does poorly he will blame the audience. If it were me in that audience I’d have some sort of nondisclosure contract giving me the advantage and clearly stating that if he accuses anyone in that audience of anything he automatically owes $1 million to the charity of my choice.

Well, I’m glad I hold onto older 1040s, because a filing screw-up by our tax preparer in the early 1990s (a screw-up that was addressed a year or two later) came back to life like a zombie a few years ago. Thank goodness I’d kept the old records to prove our case.

Actually, it’s even worse than that. Chiselin’ Trump refused to pay Mitnick.

I heard it was Greece after Ivana said it’s all Greek to me 
And the only reason a birth certificate is relevant is because he propagated a total made up LIE about our current POTUS.

Wonder how Trump would fare doing what my late father did: he testified for 3 days in tax court - Without Notes! - about 3 years of audited business & personal tax returns and won. Dad’s “trick?” He didn’t lie.

…so it sounds like the “Short Fingered Vulgarian,” Little Donnie Trump inherited his accountant as well as his money. What a man, to be born into such privilege was surly a stroke of genius.

The IRS suggested to me to keep records 7-10 years. I looked in my closet where such things are filed (carefully mind you) and I have found returns from the early 1980’s. I must be part hoarder.

He inherited the accountant as well. His father was the one who paid attention to details.
