It's going to be interesting to see if this has any impact at all on the polls. My guess is no. Dems have been wanting to see his returns since the 2016 campaign and the Trumpster has been hiding them for now-obvious reasons. The $750 income tax payments make some great headlines that will make people who already hate him hate him harder, but will it make any difference with his base? I doubt it. I don't think it's unusual that rich people don't pay much in income tax. I remember Warren Buffet saying a decade or so ago that he only took $100K in salary and that he was able to write off a good chunk of that with allowable deductions. Rich people usually make much more on long term capital gains, which has a maximum tax rate of 20%. They also often borrow money to live on against assets and pay no tax on that. Trump will play up the other taxes that he does pay and will talk to his base about how his assets aren't over-leveraged and what a great businessman he is to use the tax code to avoid taxes and not be a chump.
More than that, Trump's base will see his cheating on taxes as a positive, proof of his strength and power. barfo
I honestly would rather have somebody addicted to drugs than Trump as our President. There would be an excuse for their behavior.
Here comes the excuses Illegaly obtained information....so its real $360 million is very little debt? Equally as impressive is all the properties that he has filed bankruptcy on He is not the only president to donate his salary. So did Kennedy and Hoover.
