NYT Tax Story Puts Trump In Bind: Admit Being A Business Failure Or Admit Lying On Taxes | MSNBC

NYT Tax Story Puts Trump In Bind: Admit Being A Business Failure Or Admit Lying On Taxes | MSNBC

  1. He called this Fake News, so if that’s the case….then he should sue NYT for defamation. But that means, in order to win the defamation suit he’d have to provide his “real” tax returns.

    1. @Cathie Ludemann he would never sue over this, because then he has to show his taxes lol and PROVE that its wrong. After office, he will have to do it but against the state of NY and probably federal prosecutors. LOL to anyone who thinks he pulls off a coup and stays in office. Even with blinders on, no judge could interpret the constitution in a way that lets a president keep office in a disputed election. He would have to make room for Nancy in the oval office, because not even Clarence Thomas could ignore the line of succession.

    2. Hillary was behind the entire Russia hoax according to new DNI released documents. Let’s see if he (Russia Rachel Madcow) runs with this story!
      In it, he explains that Hillary Clinton was behind the Russia hoax to “stir up scandal” against Donald Trump to hurt him in the election in July 2016.

      Additionally that CIA Director John Brenna had apprised Barack Obama and other senior officials about the Clinton’s alleged approval of the plan.

      U.S. intelligence officials then made an investigative referral in September 2016 to the FBI Director James Comey and Deputy Assistant Director for Counterintelligence Peter Strzok regarding “Hillary Clinton’s approval of a plan concerning U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private mail server.”

      It has been known for a long time that Clinton and the DNC were behind the paying Fusion GPS for Christopher Steele’s work/the dossier. But this goes a step further and actually links it as a formal plan referred to the Obama administration.

      This is huge and people really need to go to jail for the harm that was done here not only to Donald Trump but to the country.

  2. No con lasts forever. Every con-job has an expiration date. Just ask Bernie Madoff. And Trump’s expiration date is soon approaching.

    2. @Marshall Ray RATcliffe using russian propaganda. Where is the actual proof clinton colluded with russia to take downtrumpy the clown?!? Guiliani went to Ukraine to create a documentary with the help of oan on Biden’s “corruption” in Ukraine. Whatever happened to that? Oh – that’s right – real facts and testimony came out and destroyed it. 🤣

  3. Pelosi is 100% right, trump is a national security risk. He could use his position as POTUS to deal with his financial woes. Also, it is UNACCEPTABLE to have a President who EVADES TAXES!!!

    1. well, because in carrie, it just wouldnt have made sense to say “they’re all gonna chant (vote him out) at you, then expose your lies and send you to prison. here is a picture book on the benefits of soap-on-a-rope”

  4. Billionaires don’t defraud students, or kids with cancer, or veterans telethons, or contractors, or the Scottish government. Just saying 😒

    1. ppurppple thanks for that link, its actually amazing what he thinks he can get away with. I vaguely remember something like this now that I’ve seen the video.

  5. This is why Trump wanted to be president,to a void having to go to prison,and why Trump says and wants to be president for Life,

  6. Vote him out people, I did. Unlikely that he’ll go to jail with all the corruption of the elite. Might as well vote him out.

    1. Joe Biden wrote the TAX CODE, you should ask Joe Biden why Trump got all of these tax breaks since Joe Biden has been in government for 50 years.

  7. Trump is not smart enough to have avoided paying taxes all those years, he’s just not. We need to know who’s aided him !

    1. @this Bushnell I believe the Debts are Offshore as well, Deutsche and an as yet undisclosed Chinese Bank.
      If so this is going to get very messy, very quickly for Trump & Co.

  8. He still has enough idiots that will vote for him no matter what he did or does. Trump has successfully divided this country. The psychological effects of the Trump era will last for generations.

    1. Only Nazis and wannabee Nazis now. In some countries they outlaw the Nazi Party. Maybe we should outlaw the republican party since it seems full of Nazis now.

    2. Bazza Bear But whether Trump or Putin is in charge, the results will be the same. Trump needs to be got rid of.

    3. No shortage of idiots in the USA , just the fact he still has a chance for another term is proof of that. Hopefully the virus will thin out his base.

    1. Ask Joe Biden why he wrote the tax code that gave Trump all of these deductions. Joe Biden wrote the tax code, he’s been in government for 50 years and helped create the systemic racist system you say we have.

    1. I hope that his tax returns are made public so everybody can comb through the details. I hope it is revealed to whom he owes his hundreds of millions of dollars. That includes if he borrowed money from Russia, North Korea, the Philippines etc etc. The Public deserves to know what further DANGERS he’s put everybody in. What arrangements has he made with leaders overseas? Why would someone as dangerous and intelligent as Vladimir Putin be doing/planning/consorting with the likes of that orange troglodyte? What is being orchestrated? The People need to know.

    1. James Champaco if there was something the democrats could do they would just look at all the past wasted money that got you so far with him

  9. But he’s Trump. He ain’t paying nobody back. He doesn’t care about anything else but him. And he will blatantly cheat to win re election. I hate Trump’s guts.

    1. Don’t expend all your energy on hate. Save some for voting him out of office. Please don’t let the rest of us haters down. VOTE.

    2. When a country that full of stupid KAREN and DARREN, given them one people one vote, quest what kind of leadership will get elected !!!???

      PRESIDENT CLOROX TRUMP
