They said we KNOW Trump was avoiding taxes.

 

Ah, the mysterious "they".  You're right - it is pretty comical when the only opponents you can find are made of straw.

Off-setting gains with losses is hardly a novel action.

 

The question might be: how aggressive was trump in overstating losses?

 

For a start, someone (trump, mnuchin, mulvanney) needs to clarify which year's returns are still under audit. And then release those which have completed audit as was promised.

 

I'm sure there's nothing to hide.

However you want to cut it, Trump is our president, duly-elected I might add.

I think you mean, however YOU want to cut it. That is, whatever helps Trump supporters sleep at night supporting an sham person like this is ok. And, in fact, I see the logic in that. Right now, with the economy booming, everyone is happy enough to just let it slide and let this world-class grifter run the country.

The IRS keeps track of the losses of various financial groups of people.   Trump was "The “VERY successful businessman” only paid income tax twice between 1985 and 1994—and lost more money than “nearly any other individual American taxpayer.”

 

However you want to cut it, he is a very dishonest person.

You do know this was all over the Press 30 years ago right?

Any proof for that? Of course not. 

 

This old tax revelation means absolutely nothing. 

Besides, the years in question are when NYC real estate values went into the dumper.

I imagine Trump backers are somewhat like first timers over here, taken in by bar girls' stories and still in denial over how they have been played.

"But this one's different......"

Well done sir!

I think it's turning out that Tiffany may be the "smart one" after all. 

Remember when we used to say that about Jeb?

(please clap  :clap2:)

 

Yeah, I think Tiff's mom did a good job (comparatively) in cautioning her to keep away from him.

Barron, well, we'll see.  He could turn out to be like Warren Zevon's Excitable Boy.
