"President Trump on Sunday called a New York Times report that alleged he paid only $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017 and paid no federal income tax in 10 of the years reviewed "fake news.""

Time for Joe to take the drug test to satisfy Trump if Trump agrees to release his tax returns to prove the returns are "fake news". Otherwise, the times story is true. $750 per year in taxes....he deserves food stamps.

One, Dementia Joe's possible need to be drugged to perform in a debate, actually matters to the performance of the job he wants.  Trump's tax returns mean nothing to the job he is doing.  And Joe Hiden calling our military stupid bast@rds because they didn't clap for something he says is a window into his real beliefs about Americans that are serving in the armed forces. Or maybe his claiming to have attended a historically black college in Delaware that has no record of him attending.  

Those things matter to Americans......but you TDS sufferers keep dredging up old lines of attack that have been tried and failed.  What next, Russian collusion?  Stormy Daniels? Ukraine?

Biden jokes with troops while his sons enlisted in the military….yes, one was released for a drug issue.

Trump was serious, when he referred to those who were killed in combat as losers and suckers, while his 2 sons rather than enlist is the service go to Africa to kill animals on a big game preserve.

“While, in a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit to the cemetery in France in 2018, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed.”

That fake news originated from a few anonymous sources and refuted by dozens of people that were actually there......including John Bolton and others who are not exactly fans of the President.  But would you not only believe a lie but you actually repeat if after it was tried and failed spectacularly.  Come on Goofy, admit it, you still believe the Russian collusion stuff don't you? 

Methinks you have seen the polls, know about the silent majority and scared to death it will be a landslide so you are getting desperate and are throwing everything against the wall in the vain hope that something sticks.  Those days of controlling the media are over and none of this will work.  About all you have left is voter fraud....and it will be rampant.

He probably beiieves that millions of Republicans plan to vote for Biden.  You can't blame Trump for his taxes - the blame lies with the tax code.  Like a lot of wealthy businessmen, he pays an army of accountants and tax lawyers who know the legal loopholes and minimize his taxes.  Hmmm. has GF ever interpreted a deduction as permissible when it benefited him?  

The truth is that it will take years of negotiations and debates about the interpretations of the tax laws, which even accountants and tax lawyers will argue with one another about.  You think something should be done?  Then Congress should throw out the current tax code and institute a simple tax that is not subject to interpretation - but that won't do that either.

Oh its even worse than that.  For example, the two years that he supposedly only paid like $750 in taxes he actually paid way more than that (over $1M in 2016 and over $5M in 2017).  And this resonates with me as I do the same thing.  Most businesses file for an extension on tax day and at that time they pay their estimated taxes.  Then when they file their return (by Sept 15th at the latest) they may end up paying a little more or get a refund.  For example, when I filed my taxes on July 15th I made an estimated payment of almost $100,000 on my s-corp income (money I never see or get to use I might add).  When we filed my federal taxes I got a $14,000 refund because I overpaid.  According the NYT I didn't pay any taxes and in fact got a refund despite having a company that generated $18M in revenue.  Same is true of Trump in the two years in question.  He paid a ton of taxes when he filed for his extension and when he filed his returns he only owed a small amount more.  But the NYT and the rest of the media are counting on the economic illiteracy of TDS sufferers to repeat this......which I am guessing some of the leftist maroons I have on ignore did exactly that.  Why?  Because they are ignorant rubes that suffer from TDS.

What is even funnier is that the returns show that Trump was indeed being audited as he claimed and that there was no income from Russian sources.  Yet another vindication......

I got around to reading the actual NYTimes article and the comments by their executive editor.  It's REPORTERs pouring over his retuns (obtained from unidentified sources), not Accountants or tax lawyers.  Some of the deductions may seem false to amateurs that aren't tax experts.  One thing that stuck me was that they were complaining that in the Middle East, he paid high consultants fees.  Well anyone who knows about business with the middle east knows you pay fees for "expeditors" who get you access. It's just the way it is done.  

Isn't it interesting that the timing of this "analysis" is the day before the debate and weeks before the election?

Timing is well planned and there will be a series of these non-story stories between now and Nov 3rd.

Interestingly, it turns out the Biden's have two s-corps and have used them to avoid having to pay over half a million in Medicare taxes.  The hypocrisy would be stunning and would matter except for the cover the govt media complex is providing the Democrats.

I don't need Joe's accountant to inform me about something so rudimentary.  But then again, I am not calling for higher taxes like hypocrite Democrats do while they take advantage of every tax break in the book and then some.....or are just outright frauds like Alsharpton, et al.
