NY Times and truth? HAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHA. That's funny right there.

[Rams]

The truth comes to light.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/09/27/us/donald-trump-taxes.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur

In response to a letter summarizing The Times's findings, Alan Garten, a lawyer for the Trump Organization, said that "most, if not all, of the facts appear to be inaccurate" and requested the documents on which they were based. After The Times declined to provide the records, in order to protect its sources, Mr. Garten took direct issue only with the amount of taxes Mr. Trump had paid.

"Over the past decade, President Trump has paid tens of millions of dollars in personal taxes to the federal government, including paying millions in personal taxes since announcing his candidacy in 2015," Mr. Garten said in a statement.

Honestly, it's hard to know what to believe.   But, based on the NY Times obvious bias, I don't put a lot of stock in what they say.   This may be correct, hard to say, their record isn't the greatest ya know.   They were all over that Russian thing if you remember, ya know, the one where no proof was found. I'm sure DJT Enterprises or whatever his business is called employs several tax attorneys and accountants and use every aspect of the tax code to his benefit.   Personally, I don't blame him, he didn't write those tax codes and shouldn't pay a penny more than required, no American should.

It's also very interesting timing for the release of the "special information".  Don't ya think?

Edited:  Read the entire article twice, many accusations, lots of allegations but, for some reason, no real sources or proof provided.    It's amazing how much is anonymous.   I'm not about to suggest some of what was reported is true or false but, what?   I honestly doubt any of us know tax laws well enough to discuss it intelligently.

There's a lot of supposedly informed people throwing crap at DJT but, their proof is not provided.   All of the accusations may be true but, their credibility was lost long ago.   IOWs, Put Up or Shut Up.

After a very fast and I mean very fast cursory read, it all reads as sour grapes. Writers who find it atrocious there's ways around the IRS if you have the tax team to do the leg work.

Funny how this comes to light so soon before the debate.

I don't care about his taxes or his empire. He's made his argument for president in 2016 and has done an outstanding job. Promises made, promises kept.

C-19, I don't care, because Biden has nothing other than do what's already being done except mandates.

         I do NOT give a rotten monkey fart what Donald J. Trump=A K A P O T U S-Paid or did Not pay in taxes. It's nobody elses business but Him and the I R S. RIDE SAFE.

  u are just plan 

you have very little knowledge of the business world and how top, top owners and executives are paid.
so did/do u have a problem with Obama and now Biden supporter Warren Buffet who stated he pays less taxes than his secretary every year?  do u know why that is so?  in one of your other posts, where u tried to make everybody think your intelligent by using a rare word for socialism/communism which u espoused for the country, are u upset that buffet's secretary doesn't get paid the same as him?
have u studied other countries that have done and failed those forms of govt, yet u want that here for America?  wanting and or doing the same thing over and over again and getting the same result is a form of insanity.

[..]

Some liberal radio talking heads are saying that previous Presidents "HAD" to reveal their taxes.

Another lie. (A few of you are currently into lie mode). 

[Alien]

Its not about what he pays, Its about what he claims to lose and then claims a 74 million dollar refund.  If he isn't lying about his losses then he isn't much of a businessman at all. 

[Serk]

$750 paid in taxes?!?!?!


This is outrageous!!!!!
















It should be ZERO.....

...for everyone....

It is every citizen's sacred duty to starve the beast and pay as little in taxes as legally possible.

You're actually making me move from tolerating the man to respecting and LIKING the man.

Don't hate the playa.... hate the game....


Edit to add - I've been doing my best to stay outta crap stirring threads from both sides lately, congratulations for drawing me back in on this one. Hope you're proud.

Scotus says it is patriotic to pay as little as possible

Trump's taxes are none of our business

Now let them show hunter biden and how obama who never had. Real job has so many millions or Hillary or the foundation

[John Schmidt]

Well Alien...here we go again. Young man, you really need to find a more productive and worthwhile way to spend your time. You know full well none of the junk you post re. Trump is going to change anyone's mind, so why do it? What most of your and other's posts reflect is you're basing the value of the man solely on his character and not what he has accomplished. He's done more for the country in four years than Biden has in forty and got rid of a lot of obama's crap in the process. In the end, how about checking to see how much the two Bidens paid in income tax on the money received during their travels. When it comes to a person's character, Biden's record is far from pristine.  Really....give it a rest!

Combined, Trump initially paid almost $95 million in federal income taxes over the 18 years. He later managed to recoup most of that money, with interest, by applying for and receiving a $72.9 million tax refund, starting in 2010.

Its truly amazing to see those call names and post posts and not understand what they are posting.

I said many times, the wealthy don't pay taxes and all the BS talk about taxing the wealthy is BS also.

Said to make people like the OP feel better.

Many have NO idea how the system works, at all, yet say stuff that makes them look stupid, to the informed.


There is a video and book out Called Rich Dad, Poor dad. Nothing new in the Times stolen report under the sun.

I wish I had 95 million to loose and recoup.  and still maintain all that I have going on.

GO TRUMP

OH one last thing at least we have a president that pays taxes and legally uses the system to pay his fair share and not a  president who comes into office with NOTHING and now has many multi million dollar mansions.

Where ever the Times got his records from in a bit of slime ball journalism at least they got his records.

Unlike the past president that we could not get anything from including school records.

I post this for the OP's mindset, he already chose his position in life and many others also have chosen. Its in this persons book and Thank God Trump and others have made the jump.

One more point for consideration

Trump did not lie when he said he knows the system better than anyone. He also is in a position and has the knowledge to know what the rich and powerful circles were doing also.

Why dont all you justice warriors fight against the Federal Reserve that gives us slave money?

You see Trump is in the position today of president because he chose it, unlike presidents of the past that others paid them and choose them and put them in a position for the power that position holds and mouthpiece. They were like actors, like Cortez paid to act, not to think and make things better. You wonder why they come in with nothing and go out wealthy?

It's this simple.

There is no amount or quality of negative information about our president (true or false, and it's mostly false) that could ever overcome the Democratic party's platform and plan to destroy America, our individual liberties, and our constitution.

As much as you may hate him, we hate you (and everything you stand for) more.

So instead of attacking our president, how about convincing us your plan is better.  (and good luck with that)

He did the same thing all intelligent people do. Pay as little as possible and make sure you have the paperwork to back it up.
I did not vote for him on how many taxes he paid and I doubt many did or care.

the poor clintons now rich

In 2000, Bill and Hillary Clinton claimed they owed millions of dollars in legal debt. Since then, they've earned several hundred million in USD. Where did the money come from? The author shows who is really behind those enormous payments, for example high-six figures fees for speaking gigs. He follows the Clinton money trail, revealing the connection between their personal fortune, their close personal friends, the Clinton Foundation, foreign nations, and some of the highest ranks of government. Clintons' troubling dealings in Kazakhstan, Colombia, Haiti, and other places at the wild west fringe of the global economy are revealed. Troubling facts are uncovered. The Clinton Cash is meticulously researched and scrupulously sourced. It raises serious questions of judgment, of possible indebtedness to an array of foreign interests, and ultimately, of fitness for high public office.

This is how it worked in practice. Bill Clinton flew around the world making speeches and promoting his reputation as a global humanitarian and wise man. Very often on these trips he was accompanied by close friends or associates who happened to have business interests pending in these countries. Introductions were made, deals struck, photo ops arranged before admiring foreign press. Meanwhile, bureaucratic or legislative obstacles were mysteriously cleared or approvals granted within the purview of his wife, the powerful senator or secretary of state. Huge donations then flowed into the Clinton Foundation while Bill received enormous speaking fees underwritten by the very businessmen who benefited from these apparent interventions.
According to New York Times Bill Clinton made 109 million USD in 8 years from these speeches!

the poor obamas now rich

Why Is Multi-Millionaire Obama Getting Millions In Taxpayer Subsidies?

remember their speeches are UN globalist agendas.  if one takes the time and knows the UN agendas their speeches are mainly UN agenda.

By his own admission, Barack Obama is now fabulously rich. So why are middle-class taxpayers paying him roughly a million dollars each year?

According to the New York Post, Barack and Michelle Obama are "on their way to becoming a billionaire brand."

The article notes the many ways the Obama's are turning eight years in the White House into an episode of "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous."

Michelle earned a $65 million advance on her book, "Becoming." She's also making beaucoup bucks on a speaking tour. Ticket prices for her "Conversation With Michelle Obama" in Brooklyn next month range up to $4,070. There will also be plenty of money made on merchandise sales.
Multimillion-Dollar Deal

The Obamas also signed a $50 million deal with Netflix to produce programs that "promote greater empathy and understanding between peoples and help them share their stories with the entire world."

The Post goes on to note that Barack Obama now commands $400,0000 per speech. Last year, he pulled down $1.2 million for three talks to Wall Street firms. Michelle can command $225,000 for a speech.

Let's look at this closely. Right before the debate this "story" comes out. Surprise, surprise, the Biden campaign has an ad about how much the average working person pays in taxes, school teacher, fireman, ect. in less than 24 hrs! If you are not smart enough to recognize a hit job like this you should probably count to at least ten before you post something that makes you look foolish. You audience here are not Democratic lap dogs waiting for someone to hand them a treat.

Plan?   What I've seen is the "Plan" is to give away as much as possible to get more votes so the power will shift to Left's side.  

I don't have a lot of confidence President Trump will win this election but, by salvaging SCOTUS, he earned my vote.   By filling as many federal jurist positions as possible, he earned my vote, by making Americans first, he earned my vote.   Show me where he broke a law and we can discuss.   Till then, keep filling out those mail in ballots the left loves so much.   Just a reminder, you're really only supposed to send in ONE.

Look at all the whatabouts getting thrown around on here......

All those 'comparisons' are not what this story is about.

And the non-payment of his taxes is not the biggest part of this story. The huge debt that he's carrying, over $421,000,000, (that is known) that is due in the next four years, is. Who does he owe this money to? US banks won't have anything to do with him because they've been stiffed too many times in the past. Hmmmmm.

He's trying to win reelection to stay out of prison.

And no one here is trying to change anyone's mind. We know there is absolutely nothing too heinous that his supporters, (that means many of you guys), won't excuse, embrace, or celebrate.

If you truly had the comprehension to understand what its really saying you would not be posting here.

He at this point has done nothing wrong but you want to take him out because of what is going to happen in 4 years. I wonder October is going to be a busy month to those who's criminal acts have already been done.

I wonder why you dont say anything about this?

Now that is almost as funny as those who dont have enough common sense not to vote for someone with what looks like an advanced case of Alzheimer's for president.   If anyone would vote for someone with diminished capacity and then turn around and say they understand current economic conditions and a complex tax return I would say that the mental institution has many like this.

u lie and twist facts. u think it is a problem due to your lack of knowledge of the business world and how it works.
  He has $421 million in loans and debt with a number of his properties.  do u have a mortgage? rental properties? credit card balance? car loans? student loans?  then u have debt in loans. 
and just to educate u all of those things loans and debt are the same thing. u have a car loan u have debt. see how easy u are manipulated.    so sad.
