‘Why Is This President Paying More To Foreign Nations In Taxes Than He Is To The U.S.?’ | MSNBC
Donald Trump is killing this country
Trolls are busy in here. Watch the Experts Videos on how to detect them.
Naw, he just ain’t THAT good…
@Alex Hamilton Trump has been killing the country every day for a long time.
@Biker 06 You stop lying. If it was them. Why didn’t they do it when protesting the lock down? You know 1 to 2 months before the looting.
He is doing that with the help of GOP!
Republicans have turned their backs on the Constitution and the American people. Let’s return the favor November 3rd. VOTE BLUE!!!
@aikiiai do you name call because you cant really make an arguement.
@Ray Quinonez it is called FSB now
@the Man once called Wyatt Nelsen don’t even give it a second thought. Consider the source. They can’t really do anything but parrot the MSM. No original thoughts here. When you dis agree they call names like children. They don’t even consider that they could have been mislead by real criminals. Time Will tell, i just hope that they actually fall victim to their own manufactured news sources. They could easily fact check at whitehouse.gov or congress voting records.
Vote vote vote. This is the only way to save America from the ruin.
@the Man once called Wyatt Nelsen really try to give me one ounce of evidence of that.
Trump will pay more tax for other country than America. He don’t get a dam bout his own country. That’s how he do business.
@mewrenchturner Well, those are questions that democrats should think about and then *_ask him._* Why do you NOT want to know where creepy joe stands on stacking the court, supporting communist menifesto new green deal, communist terror organizations antifa and BLM and things like fracking, where he simply flip flops constnatly?
You do not think these issues matter? Or what is the reason for NOT wanting to know your candidates opinion on things that will absolutely change your life?
@mewrenchturner I take that back. You might in fact not be a communist, and I base that on the fact that you havern’t called me names, but your thinking is reflecting communist ideas. Stacking the court? Just adding new judges until you have the majority? That is absolutely not how democrat thought just ten years back, before the communisdt hijacked their party. Because back thyen, they *_also_* understood that stacking the court *_will_* effectively end democracy. It oputs all the power in the court, which is owned by democrats, ergo, democrats will be dictators. They will not need to listen to others.
@The standard narrative has holes in it To begin with I’m not a democrat. But if you’re not gonna play the same game the Republicans play, (withholding nominations by creating a rule, then ignoring it) you’re playing at a disadvantage.
@mewrenchturner OK, you are not a communist then. What I am refering to, is not replacing democrat judges with repub licans or replacing republican judges with democrats. That has happened almost foreevr. What I am refering to is specifically joe bidens and kamela harris idea that you can just *_add_* new judges untill you have an effective majority. Like I said, even ten years ago, this would have been absolutely a no go for democrats, before the communists hijacked their party.
Democrats have changed *_a lot_* in the last ten years, and it has then gotten extremely bizarre in the last around half year. I hav e no doubt, that if you are looking for actual mentally ill people, just look in the DNC you will find them. Fanbatics. Extremely violent. Do not give a sit about the constitution. By Any Means Necessary. You will find all the fanatics and freaks in the DNC.
And yet he convinced us that athletes who kneel disrespect America.
The simple rule of showing your taxes to the people ‘before’ election would have stopped all this and saved thousands of lives.
@Alex Hamilton most importantly, Biden would probably have shut down the country for 2weeks. It would have been hard but, as a nation, we can do something really hard for 2 weeks..
@Alex Hamilton Its not just about his taxes, its what lies beneath. And no has HAD to be obsessed about anyone else’s taxrs cuz every other POTUS/candidate laid their taxes out on the table. The fact that he’s lying & hiding only makes him look more guilty. “They’re under audit” again, he relies on our stupidity & gullibility. Under audit for 3/4 years? Not to mention that audits do not preclude releasing one’s taxes.
If your kid is standing there grinning with his hands behind his back announcing he has nothing to hide. Does that not get your attn?
@Alex Hamilton People like you should read and listen more and answer your own questions. Hopefully and eventually your mental capacity may grasp and fully comprehend that our country is in a deep s..t because Trump is a con man and not *America. We, the people, are!
@myone lock That was helpful. (10/1/20)
Your man, Trump has complained, on more than one occasion, claiming that half of Americans don’t pay their share of taxes and that that’s why we have such money problems. Go thru his tweets beginning in 2015 & see for yourself. Once again, proving that if you wanna know Trump , how he thinks, & what he’s up to..just watch & listen to what he says about others. The projection is almost as staggering as his hypocrisy. Oh! But its ok cuz “no one’s perfect” & “no one voted for a Sunday school teacher,” right? You can stay loyal to him, but please don’t expect others to be okay with his extreme narcissism & lack of morals & Character, aka- what his followers call “personality”. Btw, its not about personality anywhere near as much as it is CHARACTER…The very thing Bill Clinton was impeached for. Not his marital sin..that was forgivable..but that he lied about it. Prior to Trumpism, lies were simply & clearly intolerable- especially from leadership, not something at least a third of the country applauded and even more accept as him just being “a good ole boy”)…Well, except Trump whom, at the time, said Clinton was a sucker for apologizing for his lie. (Oh! There’s that word again). Of course, thats when DT was a Democrat, but said if he ever ran for President he’d run as a Republican bc they’re easier to manipulate. Im old enough to remember firsthand. PS:During Clinton impeachment everyone, on both sides, hollered (rightfully)”CHARACTER COUNTS! Can you even you even imagine that’s the America some of us grew up in?
How can Americans not see it has always been about himself ..
@lexa harpell as to 5eyes Russia is not part of it or china as to a Australian .Using Lies and Miss information to Help the democrats you all Know Better
@R. W. Where do you hail from?
@CDWCAULDRON Trump will not win this election.
@CDWCAULDRON Who exactly is Miss information?
the Man once called Wyatt Nelsen To make more money stupid! He’s greedy he said so, he loves money, he loves his lavish lifestyle as do his family. It’s a simple as that! Now it’s payback time, that’s why he’s desperate to stay in power.
Our draft dodging president, thinks it’s unpatriotic for him to pay taxes, along with us protesting against RACIST INSTITUTIONS LIKE OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM AND POLICE BRUTALITY
Plus he called anyone who pays taxes stupid.
But the herd of bleating sheep who idolize him simply do not care about any of these questions. And THAT is the real problem. This thug will fade with history – eventually. But the herd-who-don’t-care remains
The Dedertsweeper…Trump’s followers had better stay sharp right about now…because Trump has try out his new vaccine on somebody real soon…(hint) don’t drink anything at the next rally…🤣😄😅🤣😂😄😆🤣😅
Don’t worry . . . . GOOD GRASS ALWAYS CHOKE OUT WEEDS IN TIME !!!!!!!
Russian money was funneled through the NRA to trump’s campaign.
To the Republicans in Congress also. Investigate and imprison.
@bob johnson name or of it’s so obvious? Witness? Documents? What?
@Skalgar Republican Senate Intelligence Committee Report – https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/documents/report_volume5.pdf
@swagedelic https://patriotpost.us/articles/72837-senate-concludes-no-evidence-of-trump-slash-russia-collusion-2020-08-19
@Skalgar You sent a far-right tabloid as evidence? patriotpost is fake news and they are not even patriots, let alone American..
It just shows how easy it was for Russia, Saudi and others to buy Trump. That is very worring.
@Skalgar “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets,” Trump Jr. on their family business.
@Skalgar like Trump did for Kushner? https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/03/jared-kushner-security-clearance
I believe he needs Russia more than ever right now. Here’s what I’m thinking – Most of the extreme Debt by the King & his family were transferred to Russia probably through the Deutsche Bank (from maybe friends of the AG, etc. like Mueller was & also “where the bank’s supervisory board led by chairman Paul Achleitner has retained Robert Kimmitt, according to people familiar with the matter. Kimmitt, 72, is a lawyer and former U.S. ambassador to Germany whose friendship with Barr dates to the 1980s. Kimmitt’s precise role isn’t clear even to many executives within the bank”) to pay for wealthy housing in New York, Florida, etc. (Russia owed a huge amount of money to the USA & the State of New York, etc. but was never paid to the IRS, etc. I believe). It will be the women that the King fooled around with which will destroy him eternally together with all those religious fanatics & their so called “Christian” values through his Taxes. That huge Moscow Trump Tower could also be used for ICBM rockets with rocket launching pads & rocket launchers – ICBM rockets on their way to Chicago & Detroit, etc. The Mueller report never did any counterintelligence report or even financial report on Russia & the King even with other Family members, all were off limits ordered by the King which I believe. All the convictions they did get were merely pawns. The AG & the King had a field day with that report to the American public. I believe the Commissioner of Internal Revenue Charles Rettig (appointment by the King) will be in deep deep trouble with also the entire IRS once all the Tax records come out (this was merely the first report by NYT, in the future also maybe big connections through contractors used by the King for his buildings). Then it will be time to get all his Tax records that go way back to the wealthy Father from New York. Just even more reasons I believe Russia (big financial friend of the King, etc.) will come in & stop that 2020 Election in November & promote the King from President to Dictator so he will never leave office with huge power & wealth which he needs fast now because of huge massive Debt payed now through big private Tax Payer Money coming from the 30 billionaires & other rich Republicans who Did support him. You can be quite sure they all will be stopped from leaving the USA. And the chances are very slim that the King & the Family will be bumped off latter (for power, wealth, etc.) from someone in their own corrupt Party like VP Mike Pence or Nikki Haley (who should have jumped ship) when Russia is in the USA. If Russia does not come to the rescue now – the King blew it big time.
Its strange the usa didnt run a security clearance before they offered trump the job. No, he wouldn’t have pasted one. Someone dropped the ball there.
@Skalgar Site your proof please.
Because he’s up to his eyeballs in debt. He owes money to a German bank. And God knows who he owes in Russia. But he never condemn s Putin for ANYTHING. Now we know why.
That German Bank its owned by Russian Oligarchs .
PANAMA PAPERS showed that our religious World oligarchs ARE Mafiosos!
While the Cambridge Analytica Files prove that the SAME criminal world oligarchs are using and paying violent religious extremists they implant globally in politics, such ad the BS “pro life” Republican nazis, to distract the public and investigators just to evade legal prosecutions for their Crimes!
Your .@FBI are just dumb religious choir boys to have not been able to formulate that obvious bottom line long ago. 😊😷🤗😘

@Barbra M 😄😄👍👍
Trump is desperate to keep his tax returns secret, he has more than just tax evasion to hide..
I want to see schedule D
His investments

Not to Mention the $100 Million
Trump Owes to this Country…..😉

The whole GOP went to Russia in 2019 then the rest were compromised. Why they were silent on Navalny,Khashoggi
Russia donate 30 million to NRA…NRA donated 30million to Trump campaign. And dont forget his cronie of the bank of Cyprus,sleepy …what means …connevtion to Epstein,Deutsche bank Russia/russian mob
@Skalgar Disproved as hoax by Russian Intel right?
@SkyGemini yes just like the left, silence any voices you don’t like 😁.
@Nias by the impeachment hearing, no evidence at all. Thank the Democrats for proving no crime.
@Nias https://patriotpost.us/articles/72837-senate-concludes-no-evidence-of-trump-slash-russia-collusion-2020-08-19
@Skalgar right ok i am only going to ask one question and i hope i get an informative answer….this document does look official and i have no reason to disbelieve it….except… look at the date stamp. Its in the wrong place the wrong font and also in bold text compared to the rest of the document….can you please explain this little irregularity before we debate further
I don’t like presidents that cares more about foreign countries then his own!?
@Ted Whittier why not? we still have time on AOC’s prediction the world will end
fourthqtrplayer He doesn’t care about any country including US money that is his core.
The you surly did not like Obama.
Alex Hamilton The Democrats didn’t hide the fact that they knew about Covid dangers months in advance. The democrats didn’t tell you they were billionaire and they were really broke. Trump lies to you all the time but so what. You hate the left more than you love your family and country.
CDWCAULDRON I hate to be the one to break it to you but YOU DUMB.
I don’t understand how Americans can still vote for him, he has them fooled, they need to wake up to the reality that he is a danger to our country
Unfortunately there are a bunch of stupid people in the United States.
I’ve always thought of Trump as a joke.

America is on its knees! Stand up and vote or fall flat on your face.
It’s that simple at this point. Then let the investigations begin.
I don’t get it either, it boggles the mind. It’s the craziest thing ever, it just shows how these uneducated idiots minds can be manipulated so easily.
@lexa harpell well he’s not gonna make it easy, he and his minions are gonna steal this election 2.
Hello Hello
Donald J. Trump: Domestic and international disgrace.
From England 🏴 : I concur
Disgrace and deep embarrassment. We are sadly the laughingstock of the world.
Someone needs to investigate whether or not Trump has any ties to America. (Or reality, for that matter.)
👍👍👍
Suzy Q: Good Point!
Sadly true, but hilarious.
Donald has already DEFUND the police by not paying his taxes.
jesus…you know…i don’t understand why a police person would vote for donald trump. trump is making their job harder…not easier!!
DANG, YOU’RE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RIGHT !!!!!!!!!
@Richard Henry Sr
I guess is because he also defend some of their racism
Which is just sad
Stay safe
Peace
Twump is the worst president in the history of America. And he has exposed the flaws and racism and dark side of America
The exposition is GOOD ON BOTH COUNTS !!!!!
