Trump's Tax Nightmare Comes True As He Loses Supreme Court Case | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
This has definitely not been a good week for Bunker Boy. First it was the release of his Niece’s book, and now the Supreme Court ruling on his taxes. Trump almost broke Twitter today as he sat in his bunker rage tweeting his anger and frustration into his IPhone. It was very reminiscent of his idol Adolf, and his last days hiding in his underground bunker in Berlin, lashing out at any and everyone around him, and blaming everyone else for his incompetence. As the elections draw nearer, I have a feeling that Trump will be spending even more time engaging in his new favorite pastime called “Hunker in a Bunker.” 😄
I hope the prosecutors also get Donald Trump sister’s taxes.
The entire Trump family is crooked to the core.
I’d like to know how Ivanka scored all those Chinese trademarks. They don’t just give those away.
Don’t forget his children’s and son in law’s taxes also!
Poor bunker baby, now we will eventually see just what the ” most transparent president in history” so desperately tried to keep the world from seeing. Maybe how deeply he is indebted to the Russians? It will be fun to see what is a brighter shade of orange, a prison jumpsuit or his ugly face.
Well said …. Us republicans would also like to see what he’s hiding ! REPUBLICANS for BIDEN !
It will remain a mystery, why Mueller did not follow the money. The focus of the entire investigation was to determine whether or not Trump colluded with Russians, so how is it that the money trail, which was the most obvious route to explore, wasn’t?
“Eventually” is right. The SCOTUS also ruled that the public cannot view the tax records… for now
His face would be a red shade of orange, so it’ll properly clash with the jumpsuit. . ^_^~
Working so hard to hide them, should be reason enough to not vote for trump. : )
@Rune – Thorne You forget what we’ve discovered over the past 5 years, we’re surrounded by idiots!
@Yourlife Endsnow Seek help!
@Yourlife Endsnow Mom wants her phone, and panties back
@Christine King You could say Hitler won the war and trump is proof.
Every other president has released them, and either sold off their business interest or place them into a blind trust. Being president is making him rich. Real rich, not the fake riches he’s always talked about
At the age of 6, Trump signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement with himself that prevents him from ever telling the truth about anything he’s done.

Yawn

The perfect catch 22. I knew that book would come through eventually😂😂
@Pineapple Dictator
I’m jo mammas sisters baby mamma, thats why you sport flourescent Speedoes in the park urinal
But he had to pay some smart kid to forge his signature for him.
@Yourlife Endsnow take your meds kid. Your either to young to know how sleazy he is, or an indoctrinated conservative christian….
Probably both.
Waiting for trump to put kushner in charge of the New York district
It’s about time hope he gets everything he deserves but will see
Karma catches up with EVERYONE sooner or later guaranteed. Trust me i know.
Does he have the power to pardon himself??
@V R No.
Only his Predecessor.
Biden already said that he would Not Pardon Trump.
Bunker boy was standing inside the air force 1 when he said he did not know that Michael Cohen paid stormy daniels hush money.
Integrity personified. Probably not even the worst thing he’s ever done on The People of the U. S. of A.’s airplane.
@Type R he paid it out of the charity trust funds
Hopeless Hickie lied under oath about it too…he forced her to take his mafioso oath
True, so many lies.
This is good news folks.
I have a great deal of trust in our Supreme Court Justice’s.
It’s wonderful to see such honorable people.
Remember when Trump found great excitement in the thought he could shoot someone in the middle of fifth Avenue and get away with it!
🤔🤔🤔
Now he could just stand in the middle of fifth avenue and *not* get away with it! The irony of it!
Trump kinda went mental on Twitter today.
Can’t imagine why.
He is losing bigly that’s why. 😂😂😂😂😂
I saw on Fox that this was a good ruling for the President. They made it very clear that it was good for President. SMH…. Well I thought that it was good for the Country that the DA will get his taxes.
@Deepak R how is it a good thing according to them?
Naw you know
we all know about trumps 2 weeks of wins.. mexico..jobs..jobs..jobs.. and last week trump reopened 5000 square miles of fishing waters…jobs..jobs..jobs.. trump keeps winning
Trump is sleepless tonight. Back taxes and penalties can be very expensive to tax cheaters. Trump is not so crafty now!
That’s what he gets for having the audacity to run for president in the first place!
he’ll be up all night in his bunker hoping fox news can give him some closure by agreeding with trumps innocence.
I think he’s going to resign.
@Zebra Zagadore My Sentiments exactly.
Good,maybe,hopefully he’ll have a sleep deprived heart attack that leads to a stroke
You should report on Trump’s lawyer (Sekulow) collecting >$1 million in PPP loans for his family “charity”.
I don’t know if this is true?… But if it is…..WTF?????
Trump accused his own SCOTUS appointees of being partisan and engaging in a political witch hunt against him. Haha. Wow what a loser.
Trumps’ assembly theme song should be “Paranoid” by Garbage.

@J G : The unedited version. Not the watered down version that we’ve been fed by Trump and Barr.
And he can’t fire them…haha
Next it’ll be everyone is now a liberal and everyone is out to get him. And sadly his misinformed base will follow him right off a cliff
Well, he has no legitimate defense. He never has.
How many Republicans does it take to change a light bulb? None, Trump just says it’s fixed and the rest of them sit in the dark and applaud. 🤪🥴👏🏻
@H Vega FUKOFF STOOPID. FUKOFF BACK TO BRIETBRT
Lol
@Kilgore Trout lock her up 🤣
That’s funny

Taxes will be shown by people who have never shown their taxes before…

This clown will never spend a day in jail, ordinary people know this..

*If he had not claimed to be wealthier than he actually is, he would not need to worry now.*
Ivanka and Don Jr should as well have their tax returns looked at.
Poor Donny, I think he’s got a nervous stomach and diarrhea tonight.
