Trump is good, it's not often one like him comes along. He can say and do about anything and some will follow him. Some will believe him. Guys like him don't come around often. There was one in the 1930's, that ended badly for most of the world. There was one in the 70's that only really effected the ones who would drink the cool aide. I wish we had the 70's back.

The DemonRats remind me of a cat chasing a laser dot. Only most cat catches on after running into the wall a few times.

LOL

Two days before the first and most likely last debate.

This election might be close, but the democrats are definitely scared.

I still think the democrat hierarchy "let" Joe be the nominee, because in Jan they felt sure they would lose. Why taint a future candidate with the stink of failure this go around, just let ol Joe take the reins. Ol joe wasn't looking too good up until everybody mysteriously dropped out and gave him the path.

LOL. Bitter, much?

At this point I wouldn't care WHO the Republican nominee was. I'd vote for Snoop Doggy Dog before I would ever vote for anyone with a D beside their name. Trump's popularity is mostly based on how insanely sick and warped the left has become over the past decade. We're not voting for or against candidates this year, we're voting entirely for the future of our country.

Amen^^^^

Biden did release his taxes, can't remember when it was, might have been when he was still VP. All I remember is that he had a solid six figure number and claimed $350 in charitable contributions. What a man...

Biden was a Senator before taxes were required. He's been sucking off the largess of the tax payer for 19% of the country's existence. Talk about a poster boy for term limits, his accomplishments could fit in a thimble. As a footnote I'm not sure he has a pulse.

I'm sure the Delaware-based credit card companies think his accomplishments are more than a thimble...

Enriching yourself and family on the backs of taxpayers is not an accomplishment.

News flash, the amount of taxes a business pays has nothing to do with how much money a business takes in (sales). Let that sink in. Business can take in $100,000,000,000 (sales) and still not have to pay any taxes.

Businesses have to make a profit to pay taxes. They pay taxes on profit not amount they take in (sales). Sell 1 billion dollars worth of items, make $1 profit, taxes due on $1 of income.

To keep from paying taxes on profits losses, deductions, costs of doing business are used.

All these aggressively used losses that Trump supposedly uses are most likely legal. It is humorous to see Government officials complain about this sort of behavior when they are the ones who made it possible by writing the hundred of thousands of pages of tax law.

Hopefully Joe Hiden mentions and goes after Trump about this his taxes at the debate. To which Trump should reply "Joe, your the one responsible for writing all these loopholes over the 50 years you've been in office that made it possible for me and millions of other businessmen to use. And we thanked you with generous donations, like the donations you got from the credit card companies for decades."

Truth is the tax law has lots of perks in it that benefit the wealthy, guess why politicians put loopholes in the law to benefit the wealthy.

Like Boco points out, the guy is either a tax cheat or a real bad businessman.

You do realize that some of the "expenses" that come out of profits for years prior to 2017 were for whisking around in his limo and private jet? I bet the company paid for his suits too.

Jim

I wonder if he wrote off Stormy as a business expense,lol.

If he's a tax cheat how come the IRS who's been up his A** for years hasn't put him in jail? Think the IRS is soft on the wealthy who dodge paying taxes?

If he's a bad businessman then how come he's still in business?

This whole story is a nothing burger by Progressive hacks who masqueraded as journalists. It will fall by the wayside like Impeachment did, like Russian Collussion did, like Ukraine did and so on.

When are you and Boco going to figure out that the MSM has been lying to you for years.

Of course Trump wrote off suits and whisking around in his limo and private jet. Any and all decently operated business do, its a TAX DEDUCTION!!! Use your car for your trapping business, that's a tax deduction just like a limo and private jet are.
Buy waders for your trapping business, that's a tax deduction too just like a suit is for a real estate businessman.

Boy, some of you guys can't really be this naive can you?

Trump gave a press conference today and said the tax story was fake news. Soooooooo what else is new.

He did go on to point out that he did in fact pay taxes, and he paid substantial state taxes as well.

^^^ X 2 ^^^

The triggered troll getting his arse kicked for the second time in two days, I love it.

Don’t worry James, as far as we know Biden still has a pulse so you can stick to your promise to vote for any Democrat with a pulse.

James, in your business as a lawyer if you took on a client and your expenses were say $100,000.

When the case was over and you got your cut of the settlement, and it was $150,000.

Did you pay taxes on the $150,000 or did you figure in the expenses and pay on the $50,000?

I'll bet I know the answer to that. It's how business works.

I own a duplex. My money in in any given year is around $9,000. My expenses on a given year are around $4,000. I don't pay taxes on the full $9,000. I pay on the $5,000 profit.

Generally speaking most businesses operate on a break even, or slight profit margin to lower their tax burden.

The last few years on my duplex I've been operating at a loss because the age of the building is starting to cost me money in repairs.


It pays to have good CPA/tax person too.

Every contractor that I have spoken too. Speak very highly of the Trumps when they build for them. People that grew up knowing Donald Trumps father speak very highly of him as well. Look up your history people. Trumps have done more for the people of the USA then our elected officials. I have the pleasure of working with WWII vets. Trumps did an awful lot for them when they came home. Housing, loans etc.... But you won’t hear any of that from the news networks. News networks report for ratings not truth. Trump 2020!!!!!!
