“he let the IRS keep it and apply it to any future tax he owed.”
...and since liberals have no concept of economics, Trump denied himself the interest income he could’ve made by getting the money back!! He also likely let them keep the money as to avoid any red flags or future audits. I know because (on a much smaller scale) I’ve done the same thing. I’ve been audited and it ain’t pretty. I’d rather have my kidney stones return.
interest income - basic savings 3% of 4 million is $120,000 not chump change even for a multi millionaire.
