Trump Brushes Off Report That He Didn't Pay Income Taxes For 2 Years Back to article

Everyone was losing money before Clinton took office…

Why does he keep getting away with saying he can’t release his tax returns while he is being audited? There’s no law that says that.

“Welcome to the real estate business.”

That’s it? So you think there’s no problem if two years out of three, you are so incompetent you can’t earn even a single dollar when you’re in real estate?

In MANHATTAN?

Trump, you’re beyond pathetic.

[johniwaniszek]

So. Not a billionaire. Check.

Why does he keep getting away with saying he can’t release his tax returns while he is being audited?

Really? That is the lie too far?

“Quiet down, quiet down! I’m gonna do really well with the taxpayers…”

[suffra_jett]

Drip drip drip. Keep on this story, news media. Keep on it.

(I saw some photo that had Bill and #weakDonald together. Golfing. I said: There’s a man who’s disclosed tax returns for decades, and then there’s Donald Trump.)

We were coming off a Bush-led recession. Anytime you want to screw up an economy, elect a Bush to run the nation.

If I go into debt on a loan or default on a mortgage, I’m in serious trouble or out of my home. If trump is faced with the lack of capital to pay a creditor he gets the debt “forgiven” ??? WHAT THE FUCK? ?

Photo indicates lack of funds for his usual make-up at the hands his normal plasterer along with the 2-toned hair. Mouth breathes at rest…

Yes its unfair, but its not consequence free:

When Donald Trump Needs a Loan, He Chooses Deutsche Bank

“While many big banks have shunned him, Deutsche Bank AG has been a steadfast financial backer of the Republican presidential candidate’s business interests. Since 1998, the bank has led or participated in loans of at least $2.5 billion to companies affiliated with Mr. Trump, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of public records and people familiar with the matter.”

Donald’s Orange God told him that he can’t release his taxes while he’s being audited, and that’s good enough for me. What are you, anti-religion? #MAGA! *

[serendipitoussomnambulist]

There is something fishy going on.

[firewing2]

Why does he get away with any of the things he says?

The answer is that he doesn’t… He’s not “getting away” with anything. His poll numbers are plummeting…

[randyabraham]

There was a quote attributed to Trump many years ago which went like this:

If you owe the bank $100 and you can’t pay them, you have a problem.
If you owe the bank $100 million and you can’t pay them, they have a problem.

[jaligard]

Maybe he’s afraid of tainting the jury pool?

[inlabsitrust]

“I have the best accountants who use the very best numbers.”

[sysprog]

MY question is: WHY does the media insist he’s ‘breaking tradition’ by not releasing his returns? Why aren’t they INVESTIGATING??? You know, doing ‘journalist’ things!

[old_curmudgeon]

He had tax losses. Tax losses and real losses are two different species.
