Trump paid only $750.00 in Federal Income taxes in 2016

[joaquinmiller]

A blast from the past:

"It was not a campaign contribution, and there were no violations of the campaign finance laws by me. Fake News!" Trump tweeted.

President Trump says hush money does not amount to campaign finance violation

Trump also appears to acknowledge hush money payments, something he has previously denied knowing about

How much did he pay in capital gains tax? how much did he pay in property tax? how much did he pay in sales tax? how much did he pay in fees? ect ect ect.

You are a loser.

Disingenuous fuckers. You guys polluted this board with “skin in the game” complaints about the poor who pay no income tax. 47% screamed Mitch Rome y (now a RINO). They pay payroll tax and sales tax and a whole bunch of other taxes. Shove that line of debate right up your... well I don’t want to be rude.

Big difference between someone no paying taxes because they get a pass on it, while taking benefits,

and someone who has paid plenty before and will again, who is not right now, because of losing money.

Two? You didn't read the linked articles, you yammering idiot.

I said you didn't provide names. Now you spew a few names - most non-Americans, and some deceased - and no evidence as to their tax payments. Sell stupid somewhere else.

I provided more names than you did - IN THE POST. So do some POSTING, instead of hiding behind your links.
PS - you wont get far trying to link Trump with illegal aliens. Talk about stupid, aren't you the one who posted the word "undocumented" ? You probably don't even know why they bear the reputation-stereotype of "rapists" and "arsonists".......right ?

Can you "yammer' out an answer to that ?

More from the NYTs.

“As the president wages a re-election campaign that polls say he is in danger of losing, his finances are under stress, beset by losses and hundreds of millions of dollars in debt coming due that he has personally guaranteed. Also hanging over him is a decade-long audit battle with the Internal Revenue Service over the legitimacy of a $72.9 million tax refund that he claimed, and received, after declaring huge losses. An adverse ruling could cost him more than $100 million”.

The law Is catching up with the tax cheat and scam artist.

So, what is your complaint? If he is losing money then not paying taxes is perfectly reasonable.

Oh wait....I remember when Trump was running the argument I heard constantly from Trumpers was that he was a successful billionaire businessman. Now you know that was a lie. He only played one on TV. He was heavily in debt. What the tax returns reveal was that in 2016 Trump was hemorrhaging money. The theory is Trump ran for president to raise his profile and burnish his failing brand.

To his surprise, he won. Trump’s lifeline was now the presidency. He has been leveraging the presidency ever since to keep his sinking enterprises afloat.

Oh....so saying he didn't pay taxes proves he's not successful in business?
That's quite a stretch....even for you.

Yeah..I guess in your world paying $750.00 in taxes is a sign of success. Are you a graduate of Trump U?

Well, first of all, just because the CEO of Amazon says Trump did something he can't prove doesn't mean it's true. Because if he did prove it he would be charged with identity theft. He has no legal access to Trump's tax returns.

I don’t know what Jeff Bezos has to do with this, but we do have Trump’s tax returns, so we know what he paid in personal income taxes. He paid $750.00.

Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post...you fucking tool.

You fucking idiot the story came from New York Times. Really, you should refrain from calling others names when you apparently don’t know your ass from your elbow.

THE NEW YORK TIMES?!!! LOL!!! Might as well be the bathroom wall.

This fails as a kill the messenger fallacy.

Not with the behavior of the press over the last 4 years, it does not.


You fail, as someone pretending to not notice.

 

[Dana7360]

Lol..You Trumpers have been taken over and over again by this con man. He lies about his wealth just like he lies about voter fraud. You believe him I guess because you are lost and are desperately searching for a leader. You all have been conned.

I thought you guys were saying we would find the Russia connection in his tax returns. What happened? It appears his tax returns are a big nothingburger, just like all the other nothingburgers.

He has $420 million in loans coming due and we have no idea who the loans are from. This is why they wanted to see hi taxes, because if no bank in the U.S. wold loan him money anymore, that means these loans are coming from someone outside the U.S. which can make him susceptible to foreign interference. It has been rumored the loans came from Russian money laundered through Deutsche Bank.

He has $420 million in loans coming due and we have no idea who the loans are from.

It's none of your business.

that means these loans are coming from someone outside the U.S.

It's not illegal to borrow "from someone outside the U.S."

It has been rumored the loans came from Russian money laundered through Deutsche Bank.

It's not illegal to borrow from Deutsche Bank.

And yet the reprehensible right continues to support a con man in the White House.

Bizarre.

This is not bizarre. It's disgusting and sick but not bizarre.

That is if you had been watching republicans since richard nixon.

For me, the republicans proved everything they say they are, stand for and believe is noting but lies in the bush boy years.

The bush boy gets into office by way of the Supreme Court. The republicans have no problem. He is exposed as a liar and failed businessman. The republicans have no problem. He is exposed as war criminal, it's a war crime to torture prisoners, the republicans have no problem. He destroys our economy. The republicans have no problem.

Donald Trump is the natural progression of republicans. The mask came off in the bush boy years. This is just republicans without the mask on.

The totally frightening thing that should keep every American awake at night, the next republican president will be worse than trump.

I don't find the behavior or actions by the trump followers bizarre. In fact it's exactly what I expect from those people. Leopards don't change their spots.

I find it totally disgusting and reprehensible

You guys are still whining about Clinton?

I only speak for myself, but every American should want the truth about the people leading their country, no matter who it's about.

Here's your post. Where are the names?

And yet he only paid $750.00 in personal income tax..LOL

Some people have more income than Trump and they pay NOTHING in income tax. But they have tax deductions equal to or greater than their income. And from these, great things are accomplished for society. Many very beneficial charities exist from these tax deductions of rich people. In 2018, charities received $ $427.7 Billion in tax deductible total contributions. Many rich people shell out far more in donations$$$$$$$$ than their taxes would be.

Wanna put a stop to that ? Wanna cut off the grants to the United Way ? Feeding America ? Task Force for Global Health ? Salvation Army ? St Jude Children's Hospital ? the Red Cross ? Habitat for Humanity ? YMCA ? Americares ? Nature Conservancy ? American Cancer Society ? Food for the Poor ? American Heart Assn ? World Vision ? Catholic Charities USA ? Goodwill Industries ?

There is more going in in America than what's in that little box how leftist media and leftist universities have it portrayed.

Get your story straight, dummy, and get back to me.

 

[Oldestyle]

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?

Trump lying about his tax returns is baked in. He'd rather you talk about that, than the 40,000+ new Covid cases per day (and growing), while he lies we've rounded the corner.

Sure, some people will vote for a tax swindler, but no sane person will vote for a man who tried to bullshit a pandemic.

They don't know cap gains are reported on your 1040, and they think you're ignorant?

I will wait for you to post up where I said Cap gains are not on PIT...

You’re confused. I suggest you read The NY Times piece to catch up.

You are confused if you think for one second that the NYT is going to be a fair source on anything Trump, let alone his tax returns.

NYT has his 1040. Capital gains are on the 1040. He paid next to nothing, including capital gains. His businesses are pass through entities. They don’t pay corporate taxes. It’s all in his income tax return.

We don't know what the NYT has... they refuse to show anything they have, and basically just say "trust us".
Trump's admin claims an entirely different story, and wanted evidence from NYT as to how they arrived to the number... of course... the NYT said no to "protect sources".

So at this point, the story is much ado about nothing unless they produce documentation showing what they claim to be true.

Trump’s administration says lots of shit, but they’ve said publicly that they have no obligation to be truthful with the media so I don’t really care.

When did they say that, Colfax? Care to give an example?

On that note....apparently the the corrupt media feels they have no obligation to be truthful to the public either. That's why we keep catching them fabricating news passing off their opinions as journalism.

Nah. Media reports truth. Trump says it’s a lie. You believe Trump. We find out media was right, Trump lied. You never seem to notice.

If you think it's right for the media to advocate for one side or the other then you pretty y much think collusion to win elections is alright. You sense of fairness is shot.
You could give a flying-fuck if the media helps put corrupt Democrats in office, even it they use Chinese money to help them do it.

 

[Oldestyle]

If Trump had made his tax forms public from the beginning, as presidential candidates usually do, then none of this would be coming up now. It would all have been poured over years ago, and forensic accountants might have found lots of things to investigate. If Trump were not a shyster conman then that too might have been proven. But Trump is Trump and carved out special norms for himself. Of course Trump’s tax (and other) policies favor the rich, corporatIons, and Wall Street billionaires. It is what it is.

Ah...the norms that Trump "carved out" are actually norms that every American citizen has! He has the same right to privacy that you and I do.

 

[joaquinmiller]

Wow. So many right-wing arguments depend on believing Trump, without evidence.

That's insane. Don't y'all know that?

I hate to break this to you, Joaquin but we have rounded the corner with Covid. I know you on the left were doing everything you possibly could to delay that so you could hurt the economy as much as you could but that delay is rapidly running out of steam. Here in Florida the economy just went to fully open a few days ago. Watch what happens with jobs numbers and economic growth. It's going to be epic!

You do know one of the definitions of insanity, Joaquin? It's doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result! You know...like yet another attempt to smear Trump right before an election?

The media advocates for all kinds of things. Some in the media advocate for Trump. Some advocate for Biden. Some neither.

Question is what the truth lies and the answer is almost never with Trump.

Breaking now..link to come.

Donald J. Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency. In his first year in the White House, he paid another $750.

He had paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years — largely because he reported losing much more money than he made.

Trump’s Taxes Show Chronic Losses and Years of Income Tax Avoidance (Published 2020)

The Times obtained Donald Trump’s tax information extending over more than two decades, revealing struggling properties, vast write-offs, an audit battle and hundreds of millions in debt coming due.

www.nytimes.com

Yeah most of us always knew he was fraud.

You'd have to provide a more reputable source for any credence. Same old shit from the same old rag.

Think Trump will sue???? LOL and bring all his bullshit to court in front of the whole world???

If he brings suit to The NY Times he will have to prove they are lying and that they illegally obtained those documents.

That means that trump will have to disclose all of his financial dealings for years.

It's called the discovery phase of the case. The NY Times can subpoena and obtain just about any document they want that pertains to the case.

In the end trump would either drop the case or the NY Times will win because of that pesky First Amendment that gives the United States freedom of the press. Which means trump loses.

If anyone thinks, much less believes, that trump is going to sue The NY Times I have some wonderful ocean beach front property in Colorado to sell them.
