In a tour de force of hard won reporting, the New York Times has put numerical clothing on what we’ve known about President Donald Trump for decades — that, at best, he’s a haphazard businessman, human billboard and serial bankruptcy artist who gorges on debt he may have a hard time repaying.
The Times, in a news story published Sunday evening that disclosed years of the president’s tax returns, also put a lot of clothing on things we didn’t know. Trump paid just $750 in federal income taxes in 2016, the year he was elected president, and the same amount the following year, when he entered the White House. In many years recently he hasn’t paid anything at all. He has played so fast and loose with the taxman that he’s entangled in an audit. He paid his daughter Ivanka lush consulting fees that he deducted as a business expense even though she helped him manage the Trump Organization. And he’s taken questionable tax write-offs on everything from getting his hair coifed to managing his personal residences. [https://bloom.bg/3jdLSkf]

He is COMPROMISED. If you take a federal govt job, your debt is a part of your background check and if you owe a lot of money, you wont get the job because they know you can be BOUGHT.
Ladies and Gentlemen
WE GOT HIS ASS!!!!!
I thought the court stated he had to release his tax information
I’ve been saying this since trump been in office. He wasn’t only using black people because It’s proven that he’s a racist toward people of color.
For the most…trump have been”using” his own base.
The white supremacist that love the confederate flag and violence. They claimed that he’s good and making American great. OOPS THEY DRANK THE KOOL-AID
They must feel like the laughing stock.
Just think about how much money his base wasted on him during his whole time in office by making hats,
t-shirts,wigs,crazy signs etc….
and all he did was pay $750.00 and no tax for a century.
They have his tax returns.
RICH GETS RICHER! POOR GETS POORER!! WELCOME TO AMERIKKKA!
Rolland don’t forget to wear Southern University Jukebox

Like Mustafa said…”TRUMP HAS BEEN PIMPING THIS COUNTRY FOR DECADES”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sad there was no accountability

The Republicans are not saying anything because they are getting rich too!! Look at wimp Ted Cruz for example they don’t come any wimpier than that!
I am afraid that #45 is going to threaten the US with the nuclear codes if he is not re-elected! WOW!! We are damned if we do damned if we don’t!! #45 needs to go!! The US is in danger!!
For those of you who would not vote for Hillary and claimed you would rather die than vote for her! here you go! Over 200,000 dead and counting!! I hope you are satisfied!!
He was the same person who said he’s going to take the jobs from overseas FRAUD
Crooked ass!! Hell I paid 1500.00 and I have 3 dependents and only made 39,000 I am pissed off!!
Half of US is foreigners and u wonder why US is owned by foreigners interest? Really stupid not to see the invasion that displaced us!
I’d be rich, but I’m patriotic and paid my taxes. Trump is a leech and so is everyone who don’t pay their taxes!!
Eat the rich… by eat I mean drag into the street and…….
U dumb for paying for a tea party lmfao
Trump is fake billioner.

We are losses for paying taxes we don’t even know why we’re paying taxes then we still playing it’s not Trump’s fault that people don’t read or do research or know how to open up businesses America is a liar and it has been a liar since its invention think about everything about America it’s all a fraud
Stop believing Fake News Roland. They haven’t even dropped the docs that NY times they said to have gotten this info from.
If Trump loses this election, the shut off notices start… I’ve never seen someone needing an election for personal finances…
I’m so ignorant as American just because I have a job and I’m taxed on earned income I think everyone else is too
Colin Kaepernick takes a knee and they call him unpatriotic. But white people don’t pay taxes and claimed to be the biggest Patriots in the country. Total hypocrisy
Trump oweds Chinese Millions and millions he is the security risk
It was only a matter of time before the game would end.

“I AM A SUCKER FOR PAYING MY TAXES,HAVING VETERANS IN MY FAMILY, NO FANTASTIC HEALTH PLAN AND NO SIMULATE CHECK. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Thanks Trump. VOTE HIM OUT, VOTE HIM OUT, VOTE HIM OUT!!!
Hilary hit the nail right on the head. Racist and sexist mindsets are keeping this country at the bottom of the heap.
