#MSNBC #Trump #TaxReturns
Tax returns aside Trump’s finished.
“Just say it was corrupt ” proves Trump knew the election wasn’t corrupt & proves his intent. Arrest him.
@Rent Free LOL. Calling Biden corrupt is just laughable. You could at least think of a better story to make up.
@Vince Kieffer Excellent post.
@Rent Free : Saying it doesn’t make it so. Trump is a crook through and through despite all your protestations on his behalf.
@Rent Free Lmao Delusional much
@Rent Free why are you spending so much time on YouTube when all Trump wants from you is another deposit to his checking account. Have you done that yet? Better get to it!
More fraud. The noose is tightening for bunker boy and his goons.. drain the swamp was really the swamp of his minions.
…..and a whole lot of crooks and liers in the republican 🥳…. the soup thickens every minute now
Liberal Media’s Greatest Conspiracy: Do you know what it is? They have NEVER shown you ANY evidence of Trump being guilty of violating ANY law yet he is the only one they ever seem to care about!! Blame Trump!! Blame Trump!! Based on the FACT that an estimated 86% of all the stories they post on this site are HATE-Trump posts, MSNBC and Liberals HATE Trump so much they literally pray (to whatever god they believe in) for him to be locked away in prison, for his whole family to be either imprisoned or destroyed and for all his businesses to be bankrupted, which would thus put about 220,000 people out of work, destroying the financial livelihoods of all those families as well!!
FACTS: You HATE a person who has NEVER done ANYTHING to you or your family or to anyone that you know of. You call him “H!tler”, equating him to the most reprehensible person to ever exist, responsible for the murder of MILLIONS of people and WWII. You blame him for US COVID deaths yet do not blame any other world leader for COVID deaths in their country. You call him a “tax cheat” yet NO ONE has ever found any evidence of such. You call him “traitor” yet NO evidence have ever been found of such collusion. You call him “racist” yet MANY prominent black people consider him friend and he has received multiple awards from minority groups. So, please tell me again about your ‘love & tolerance’?
As always, watching bunker boy is like watching a slow motion train wreck. Hiring a pack of incompetent criminals was just one small part of it.
@Trailin’ Annie for one.. look up his fraud university. I’ll stop here. Lock him up.
I just wish they’d get him on manslaughter because he killed half a million Americans with his actions, or lack of.
Every day Trump walks as a free man, the rest of the planet losses even more respect for us. In their eyes, we’re not looking very good.
The last public opinion poll here in Germany showed that since Joe Biden has become president the confidence to the United States is growing again. So don’t give up hope, dear friends! Kind regards from Germany
You got that right, but US looks like it’s getting back to sanity under Biden.
Personally, I’m terrified of another Republican coup. They don’t seem to care about reality or democracy, or even their own constituents and voters, only that they get back in power. That would be the end of democracy in the US. That would be bad for the world. It looks pretty scary from Australia.
@Ontja Huscarlnäherin you can have him, he won’t know
@AThagoras us has never been in more danger and a bigger disaster. Biden is brain dead and doesn’t know what planet he’s on. Trump was the greatest thing to happen in American history, and the greatest President in history. There was no “Coup”, that was made up by American media. Conservatives are very close to dealing with any remaining libtrds in America.

Why has Trump tried to hide his tax returns for so long??
He wasn’t sure which set of books he should show for the audit?
@Hat Bpto poor Ivanka lost her international favor when daddy took her along as his debutante to the G20.
@Hat Bpto Heels Up Kamala is changing Biden’s diapers every day.
I have a question for all the Trump-HATERS on this site: Even if the Democrat-led DOJ were to release Trump’s taxes for the whole world to see, since it is FACT that they have been routinely audited most every year, what fraud do you expect that the political leeches in Congress (none of which likely even know how to do their own taxes and who probably actually do cheat because they can get away with it) can shed light on that the brightest Trump-HATING IRS agents haven’t been able to find???
@A LT yep
How LONG has djt been hiding his tax returns🙄
If u have NOTHING to hide…..then
U hide NOTHING!
djt IS hiding something!
He’s HIDING his criminal activities.
Australia
@Cornelius Gal There is a lot we know, also a lot we suspect but we lack the actual proof, which the tax returns will likely provide.
@aquelpibe President Trump’s business and personal taxes are very complex. The committee is unlikely to understand them. And it is unlikely they will provide proof of any wrongdoing. President Trump and Mr. Weisselberg know more about tax laws than the IRS and so-called tax experts.

@Trailin’ Annie President Trump’s business and personal taxes are far too complex for his haters to understand.
@Cornelius Gal LOL “know more about tax laws than the IRS and tax experts”….you really do think Trump is the smartest person in the world, don’t you? Let me guess, Trump knows more about war than our generals too? You are so dumb.
Nothing like the sound of diligent, attention to detail prone professionalism late in the evening before bedtime.
I’m waking up to it but it’s just as sweet✌🏽🌎💚🇺🇸‼️
Justice for Breakfast…⚖️👍🏽

Lloyd Doggett is a real human and all around wonderful person.
He offices near Gov Abbot but the contrast between the two is stark.
He offices?
Lloyd Doggett and his office have been very responsive to my concerns. I just keep wondering don’t we already have tons of evidence of Trump criminality??? Get ON WITH IT!!
Trump’s unquenchable greed, combined with his multiple psychological issues – and his enormous ego – will be his undoing. He’s making Nixon look like a boy scout.
@Fear Factory I voted for Trump. I think he wants the best for our country.
@Fear Factory I also believe Fauci for funded the Wuhan lab that created this Covid mess. He’s the murderer
@Its me Quenten what made you think that is what I seem to imply. You are wrong. I only took you back in time referring to a scenario akin to what is on going. Meanwhile, hear this; discerning MAGA supporters are making a U-turn to true patriotism. Being patriotic is given your allegiance to ones nation and NOT TO A PERSON OR an ORGANIZATION OF THE LAND.
@Wark Mahlberg What did he do for you?
@ExoticRPGs It’s there if you REALLY look for it!
Trump walks free while others serve prison time for HIS CRIMES??? Put this criminal traitor in PRISON ALREADY!!!
@Steve Hall Yes, but there is a law to release in cases of suspected criminal activity , tax fraud , and tax cheating . Plus, Trump is no longer POTUS & not a candidate .
@thegreen iguana put that Marxist elite queens in prison AOC thugs criminals and felons released from prison by comrade Harris and Catholic Nancy Pelosi with only her science facts and information with her district to Utopia
Be prepared for Trump and Catholic Nancy Pelosi committee censored and silent is a failure and waste time on taxes as our country is in chaos because of the Marxist elites
Trump will continue to walk free and nothing going to stop making America great again as he always trumps the Marxist on the left and what it took the Marxist elites to have our country in chaos with take 3 days back in office to make America great again and what a slogan to do it twice
@Kay Surf Trump will never in office again
I think Trump will Rue the day that he ran for president.

Why not? The rest of us have been for years….
@A Fridge Too Far 🎉🎉🎉💯%
@Trailin’ Annie please send me a credible link saying that Trump has been audited every year.
Just think though, if trump hadn’t lied his way in “we” the America people would NEVER had found any of this out. I see this as a BLESSING in DISGUISE.
Congress has the right to get Crooked Drumpf taxes. The American people has the right to see any president or former president’s taxes. Especially Trump’s that refuse to show it to the American people.
@Geoffrey K Wrong, just because you say they do doesn’t mean squat silly
@Stone Men democrats are vaccinated, republicans not vaccinated because they are still following the doctrine of the loser trump. Please, don’t throw out stupid and baseless arguments. trump wants credit for the development of the vaccine which he does not deserve, and he won’t convince his cult members to take it.
@Stone Men trump called it the latest Democrat hoax. If you are going to state something as true, make sure it is factually correct.
@Trailin’ Annie basically they will find that he overvalued his properties to get loans or insurance, and undervalued the same properties when reporting income or assets for the purpose of paying taxes. During the debate that he lost to Hilary, he said he was smart that he didn’t pay taxes. Imagine a country where everyone was smart enough not to have to pay taxes, where everyone just looked out for themselves, it would be anarchy and chaos, just like when trump was supposed to be the president.
@Stone Men stop watching right wing media. They can’t tell the truth.
Watching Trump descend further into madness as his world crumbles around him is the gift that keeps on giving!
@Lawrence Smith, This post is flagged as false.
@Geoffrey K lol
Your people are the only ones to think that. He’s actually doing fairly well. He already knows what your about n that’s why he brushes you off. You can’t stand it. So many years now wasted n the best you have are taxes now. Good for you guus
@Freddy Mercury why us the GOP allowing trump to lie about an election?
@Freddy Mercury you have fellow Americans refusing but you go ahead and be racist about it freddy
Generations of politicians running for president have fully disclosed their taxes. 45s reluctance only increases the belief that they will show his criminal nature.
@Fletcher Malenkos You russians and your claims. Claims which are so obviously specious. Why do you work at the IRA?
@Wayne Burton You do realize that fletcher is a putinTroll… Right?
@Potato You do realize that fletcher is a putinTroll? Yes?
@Sam Artman Hello russian.
@Trailin’ Annie trumps own relative said he cheats .. the wife of his money man said he cheats.. only a cheater would refuse to show their taxes.
“No one knows how to screw Americans better than Donald Trump” – Donald J Trump
Orange boy’s lawyers where the best russian lawyers u could get, and a secret bank account in china. It’s sad that normal people can go to jail for not paying a ticket but he still walks free
@Denise Higgins I beg you to stop for 30 seconds and think about this – your brain is so broken (TDS) you can’t even process basic facts if they don’t follow what you’ve been brainwashed to believe. I stated facts and your brian melted and defaulted to – Darwin, nazi, hitler, orange man bad, Russia Russia Russia. We have one in our family and one in our neighborhood. People still care about you but you need to get help. I know I’m not the only one telling you this. You hear this all the time. Get help.

@Trailin’ Annie we’re saving the evidence for court. Right now we must go on what baby cheezus himself says. The insane clown posse is giving plenty away too. Jim Jordan literally shyt himself yesterday on camera, y’all should’ve stayed under your sheets.
@Tyrell Jackson save America,? Trump just wants to be Dictator NOT president so he could outlast statue of limitations to be held accountable for his crimes.
He gave our taxpayer money to rich on taxcuts which could of went into infrastructure to circulate money back to society. He wouldn’t even pay his taxes. Your a liar and exacerbating that he would give a million dollars to blacks. Trump is a lier and doesn’t even pay cities for his virus spreading hate rallies.
I remember quite clearly Trump said he’d be happy to release his taxes as soon as the audit was over and then he made them go all the way to the Supreme Court because he was lying through his teeth that alone tells me that he’s guilty of something

@Trailin’ Annie Do you have any proof that Trump’s taxes were audited other than him claiming so?
@Trailin’ Annie Certainly seems like someone in the IRS had to know something dunnit?
@Adam Taylor Is it possible to get a search warrant for his tax returns and have the police, FBI, or whoever take them by force against his will? 🤔
@Altrusian WolfDog Lindell is that you?
Rep . Doggett is another freedom fighter against this tyranny . Good deal . I knew yall still had some good people in Texas . Met plenty at O.U. games ! :O)
I wish they would quite calling him president.

@Tyrell Jackson Respect is earned. t***p deserves no respect. He won in his own mind.
@Tyrell Jackson He should have done his job instead of tweeting, golfing, watching Fox “News” and doing nothing to prevent Covid deaths. Then we could call him a president.
You are right he is a sore loser crook
@Trailin’ Annie Except they’ve shown endless evidence of his crimes. Just because you refuse to look at it, doesn’t mean it’s not there.
They’ve shown his illegal deals. They’ve shown his violations of the emoluments clause. And the world watched him incite an insurrection on live television.
We’ve seen the documents of him ordering the DCPD and National Guard to be understaffed and unequipped. We’ve seen the documents of him ordering the DoJ to lie and claim there was election fraud.
We have the reports showing he knew that Putin was assassinating US soldiers, and that the orange traitor was lying to cover for him.
We had the irrefutable evidence of Russian collusion for the 2016 election. Which people went to prison for. Which he would have been in prison for if not for as always being protected by his fellow traitors in the GOP.
We’ve seen his secret Chinese bank account. We’ve seen the illegal deals he made with foreign nationals. We’ve seen the countless examples of his tax cheating.
He has caused more death and destruction to America than anyone in history. His lies and incompetence with COVID killed 600,000 Americans. He is a traitor and the only president to launch an attack on the Capitol to try and overturn a free and fair election that he lost.
He has been a tax cheet for decades one of the reasons he is acting like a two year old over losing his crown.
Tax Cheeto 🤣
Somehow you KNOW Trump is a “tax cheat for decades”?? I have a question for all the Trump-HATERS on this site: Even if the Democrat-led DOJ were to release Trump’s taxes for the whole world to see, since it is FACT that they have been routinely audited most every year, what fraud do you expect that the political leeches in Congress (none of which likely even know how to do their own taxes and who probably actually do cheat because they can get away with it) can shed light on that the brightest Trump-HATING IRS agents haven’t been able to find???
@Trailin’ Annie LMAO YES I do know for a fact, Trump has even stated he is a tax cheat and is very proud of the fact he has gamed the system for decades. adolescent Trump is throwing a tantrum now lol and all his loyal followers will toss everything and anything they can to distract away from Trumps criminal activities which many folks knew has gone on for years and years. it`s just catching up to him now being he lost the Presidency.
They should be asking for Kushner’s tax documents also!
@Tyrell Jackson Still full of BS and lies!!!! Get help and get a life!
@dawn hogwart yep, nothing to see here. 😂😂😂 orange man still bad😂😂😂😂 At least you admit you’re ignorant.
@Delphinea Archer name one lie. Just one. (This is where you get stumped.) One lie. Come on. You can do it.

@Trailin’ Annie you have to remember, they are tards. They’re brainwashed tards. They can’t have conversations. They have tantrums like children and run away. America is going to eliminate them soon. Just watch.

One can only marvel at the hurricane of stupidity that swirls through Donnie’s head.
Trump is guilty of so many things. He is going down for something. He caused the January 6th riot. And many other things and he needs to be held accountable. If we did some of the things he did we would be in jail. The only conspiracy is what he is spreading.
