    Okay, let's say you smuggle cocaine along with your fishing business. You only claim your revenue from fishing on your taxes. Would those tax returns show the money you illegally make from smuggling cocaine?

    Course not and there would be no evidential record to report. I get it the comments were strictly factual, the smuggling merely conjecture

    I paid nearly 100X more in federal taxes last year than he paid in 17 out of 22 years. A lot of our income comes from social security and a VA disability pension. By the way, my disability pension is not taxable by neither the federal government nor the state of Oregon and I still paid a boat load. Trump, you lying sack of shit.

    This is just sad...

    Even more sad he will say it's fake news and his supporters will defend him.

    They should. The IRS will not share their tax info. with any law enforcement. They got Al Capone on income tax fraud from not reporting his illegal income.

    Will this open any investigation that could stall the scouts nomination? I don’t think it’s coincidence the nyt leaked this a day after Trump nominated a candidate

    And right on schedule and as expected....
    https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/27/trump-calls-nyt-tax-report-totally-fake-news-422330

    President Donald Trump on Sunday dismissed as “totally fake news” a New York Times report about how little he has paid in federal taxes.

    “It’s fake news,” Trump told reporters at a news conference in the White House briefing room. “It’s totally fake news. Made up. Fake.”

    The Times obtained more than two decades of Trump’s tax information and reported earlier on Sunday that the president paid only $750 in federal income taxes in both 2016 and 2017, the year he won the presidency and his first year in the White House.


    “He had paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years — largely because he reported losing much more money than he made,” the report said, noting that more articles on his taxes would be published in the coming weeks.

    “From our standpoint, if you’re being audited, and you want to do something else, share that information with your returns, you can do that," then-IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said in 2016.

    “It’ll all be revealed,” Trump said. “It’s gonna come out — but after the audit.”

    “The story,” he added, “is a total fake.”

    Like i said..... Right on Que. Not to be confused with Q which is totally fake news.

    Yeah, after the audit sure. He said in the press conference he has been negotiating his audit. Who is he negotiating with? The IRS does not negotiate.

    Never say die in things of this nature. If he comes under indictment for another Impeachment it could very well stall the system. He has money in his name in companies that are in direct conflict of interest.
    He has not covered all his bases. His family will end up taking the hit if he doesn't find a way to protect them. One thing i think he might have compassion for is Ivanka. I don't think he wants her in prison.

    But yes i agree. The chances are very very slim at best.

    Funny, the moment he says "Fake News" I already know the story is true.

    I love being smart.
