Guy Chamberlin Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Trump made more money than he reported --- although he remains nowhere near as wealthy as he claims. So he has a choice for narratives: a) he was doing what every wealthy American does to avoid taxes; under--reporting and hiding income, and he is wealthier than these tax returns suggest. Or b) they are accurate and lawful tax returns, and he's just been having a lot of financial problems the last 10 years. He will of course go with a) momentarily ignoring the likelihood that it qualifies as felony tax evasion. 2 1 Link to comment

knapplc Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 If you ever vote for someone without seeing their taxes for the previous, say, five-ten years, you're a sucker. 2 Link to comment

I believe he already claimed that not paying taxes is what smart businessmen do during the 2016 campaign. Link to comment
FrantzHardySwag Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 My Prediction: Russia owns most of Trump's 400 mil debt, and NYT breaks that news pretty close to the election. 2 1 Link to comment

I think they do, and my guess is he's somehow laundering money for the Russian oligarchs, probably through Wall contractors. Link to comment
Moiraine Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 On a related note, I don't get why people get so mad about celebrities getting involved in politics. I'm guessing most celebrities grew up middle class or poor. They're mostly just regular people who now make a lot of $. 1 Link to comment
