Trump paid only $750.00 in Federal Income taxes in 2016

[Jimmy_Chitwood]

The real issue is not how much or how little Trump paid in taxes, it is the humongous amount of debt he has, mostly to foreign banks, businesses and governments, and much o f it is going to come due in the next 5 years.

And you care why exactly?

Has national security implications.

Does our nation's astronomical debt have national security implications?

Not in the same as an individual.

Agreed not the same.

Massively worse.

What if they want their money?
And stop lending to us?

Donald Trump has been under audit by the IRS since 2002

According to who?

As of 2016, it was "more than a decade."

Trump's lawyers: He has been under IRS audit for a decade.

And you believed them?

Oh child...

So I suppose Wikipedia is "lying" too, eh?

"An audit of Trump's tax returns for 2002 through 2008 was "closed administratively by agreement with the I.R.S. without assessment or payment, on a net basis, of any deficiency." "

Joe Biden's Tax Returns and Financial Disclosures | Joe Biden

Joe Biden is running for president, and he has released his financial disclosures and the last three years of his tax returns.

joebiden.com

Oh, that's right. That's where he set up the S-corp to dodge payroll taxes. Shame, shame.

Again, the amount of taxes isn't the issue here. There are other organizations that will decide if Trump paid his fair share.
What's telling about the entire release is that Trump's lost millions of dollars, owes millions of dollars, but lives like he has millions of dollars.
When in actuality, he appears to be a crappy businessman and a borderline sham artist. That kinda blows the whole Trump persona to hell.

Well, except for that getting the American economy roaring after the Obama doldrums and being the first president in who knows how long to not start any new military conflicts. At this point, his business dealings are kind of a moot point and the fact that the usual suspects are having wet dreams about TRUMP!'s taxes tells me they don't have much of anything else to complain about. So, who beyond hard-core democrat sycophants gives a flying rat's patoot?

 

[hadit]

I find it disgusting that the far right wing cares more about suing The NY Times than the fact that trump didn't pay a penny in federal income taxes for a decade and only paid 750 dollars in federal income taxes for 2016 and 2017.

It doesn't seem like they care that if they themselves paid more than a dollar in taxes they paid more than trump did for a decade. If they paid more than 750 dollars then paid more than trump paid in 2016 and 2017.

Yet they want to sue The NY Times.

Wow.

And paid 38 mil in one year. Don't forget that one. Face it, your childish rant is not at TRUMP!. It's really at the tax code that was deliberately made as complicated as possible to make it easy to pin something on everyone. And guess who gleefully wrote that code?

He got that 38 million back in a refund in 2010, with interest.

And that's what owning hundreds of companies is like. You get a lot of flexibility to apply losses and gains. It's why tax attorneys get paid what they do to wrangle the tax code.

Still doesn't change the fact that TRUMP! pays a lot in taxes.

Then you’ll have to come up with a different example because your attempt to claim that he pays taxes actually was false.

No, not false at all. He pays the taxes he owes. You can quibble that you think he owes more than his attorneys say he does, but you'll have to argue with them.

I do in oh so many ways (snicker), and that is what a good accountant will do for you.

Anyone who wants to pay more can send it in.

But anything Trump does is
Orange Man Bad

Actually, Trump paid his taxes. Lots of tax. The $750 is another lie. That was merely the balance left over between what his preparers estimated and had already paid over the year and the IRS's final calculation.

Just another leftwing lie by the NYT and democrats hoping to damage Trump before the truth gets out.

Another Trump expert you are. What will you say when he leaves office broke and in jail?

No, I just follow the news and threads in this forum, not just the ones who tell you what you want to hear. What will I say? I guess we will need to wait and see first if Trump ever actually goes to jail.

Then I guess we will need to ask how it is Trump went to jail while so many around him, Hillary, Obumma, others committing far worse things NEVER DO?

 

[White 6]

The media's last minute dirty tricks will not work anymore....

You refuse to wake up...or you are paid. Politics aside the guy is a fraud.

Trump has turned my future around...under Obama I wondered what kind of retirement I would experience or even if I could retire....and I'm not alone...is Trump perfect no...but none of us are but I believe he has us in mind at all times...all of us...he wants what's best for America and its kind of refreshing.....after decades of political hacks giving away our nation to the highest bidder.....

Trump can hand every american a million dollars and he still be one of the worst presidents of our time. He made it ok to lie, bully, deflect, hire criminals, insult people, fool people, hire crooks and family., be a jerk, narcissist. Money is not everything if you are bankrupt morally.
You guys attack liberals for lack of morals and you voted in the scumest human being and his porn star gold digger wife. Is that how you want the next generations to be ?

Melania is a porn star? God, you're an idiot!

I don't know if porn star is accurate, but I will say she look great, naked. Can't say that about any other president's wife. It is probably because no other president ever married a girl posed nude in multiple countries, multiple photographers. I wouldn't want my kids posing nude. Kind of like marrying a stripper or a hooker.

She was a freaking fashion model, White! You know any strippers or hookers that make millions of dollars posing for pictures? I'm always amused when the left treats conservative women like whores and then lecture others about how sexist THEY are!

I haven't known any playmates or models since high school, and they were just cheerleaders back then. Face it. Most nice women do not take their clothes off for money and their best assets are not in their cup size or their between between the legs allure.

Once again...Melania Trump was a fashion model! They very often pose in either very skimpy outfits or in nothing at all! That doesn't make them strippers or hookers! The fact of the matter is that Melania Trump has been nothing but classy throughout her entire time as First Lady! That you on the left feel the need to attack her because you can't lay a glove on her husband says more about YOU than it does about her!

Oh, making your living peddling your flesh is better if you call yourself a fashion model? Right. Dude the new morality is a lie. It really just the same old immorality of strip joints and the girls in the peep shows of the carnival tents back in the 50s and 60s. What denomination did you say you belong to?

I belong to the "sane" denomination! The people that can tell the difference between a fashion model and a stripper?

Easy to tell the difference between fashion models and strippers. Fashion models model clothes, in other words they have clothes on. Strippers and hookers take them off and model what genetics and surgeons gave them.

So in your strange little world Christie Brinkley, Giselle Bundchen, Cindy Crawford and Tyra Banks are all "strippers"? All of them have posed nude or semi nude. They're no more strippers than an actress is who does a nude scene in a movie! Get a grip...will you!

A grip on what? Not like it is a debilitating view point, or an obsession of some sort. Not advocating she be marked with an "A". She is probably a very nice person. I have nothing against her or stormy or McDougal. The pres obviously likes women that drop trow for money, at least he married this one, sort of, except for that fidelity thing. We all know fidelity is not his strong suit, as he can't handle honoring commitments if the ink is dry and he is out of sight. That of course includes marital contracts, business contracts, treaties, debts, etc. When all is said and done, I hope she gets every penny she is due for putting up with his crap.

Sigh..we've been over this a lot. The economy was humming along quite nicely under Obama. And he was nice enough to hand it off to Trump. At the same time, if you're gonna give credit to Trump for a "roaring"economy, you also have to give him the blame for the economic fallout that came from him ignoring and downplaying the pandemic.

Again, I don't care how much Trump paid in taxes. The fact that his balance sheets show millions of dollars of lost and millions of dollars owed tells me he's a fraud. As I suspected all along. That's why he didn't want his tax returns released.
People would see for themselves he wasn't nearly the successful businessman he played himself up to be. It was all a lie.

They're really not going to care a whole lot about partisan democrats (but I repeat myself) jumping up and down and yelling stuff about TRUMP!. They've been hearing that since 2016.

 

[White 6]

Every citizen who paid significant taxes in full and on time, every year and have never had problem on an audit think it is funny as hell, and suspect the trumpster is a fraudster and tax cheat. Just sayin.., since there are a lot of us in that category.

To believe something that ridiculous you'd have to believe the IRS has been in cahoots with Trump for years
then. Do you also believe in vampires and leprechauns?

Do you people not see how bizarre your paranoid fantasies are?

Tell it to the Times. Write an editorial for goodness sake! Nothing paranoid about thinking trump probably cheats on his taxes. It sounds just like him. He cheats on his wives, business contracts, bank loans. It is not like his word is his bond or anything.

You think his tax returns show how much he owes or when it is due?

According to who?

As of 2016, it was "more than a decade."

Trump's lawyers: He has been under IRS audit for a decade.

Audits don't drag on continuously for a decade or more. They're done year to year. When you are audited, you provide records going back X number of years.
Trump may very well be audited every year. But it doesn't drag on into the next year when the IRS audits him again. Audits are wrapped up in a couple of months
for a corp I would venture. See, when the IRS audits you, they're looking for money they think you owe them....and they want it...quickly.

Some on this board say Trump shouldn't reveal his taxes. I, like many, would agree that he should show the US citizens (and the world) he is on the up and up.

Someone could reveal the truth. The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
Agree?

 

[Uncensored2008]

Then you’ll have to come up with a different example because your attempt to claim that he pays taxes actually was false.

This is all predicated on the idea that what the Biden campaign claims is true. Biden's spokesvermin said the campaign couldn't allow anyone to see the data they got from unnamed sources because of what happened to Dan Rather, oh and some lame bullshit about protecting their source.

This smear is calculated to try and get Trump to release his returns to prove the DNC demagogues of the NY Times are the fucking liars we all already know them to be.

The Senate exposed the corruption of the Biden mob, so the Biden campaign responded with this,

But no one cares. The number of votes that will change is in the low double digits.

Well, I wouldn't go touting Trump's record for the last four years. Like his businesses, there's a lot of failure there and not much in the way of any successes.
As for Biden, you stay around Washington for that long, you're gonna have your successes and your failures. Part the game of longevity.
Revelations about Trump's financial failings may not move many voters to change, but the optics are worse than terrible. Puts a pin in the balloon of those lofty campaign ads that
tout Trump as a successful businessman.
