NYT’s 10,000-Word Trump Tax ‘Exposé’ Reveals NO Russian Links, NO Illegality, And Admits Left Will Be ‘Unfulfilled’ By The Report
The National Pulse ^ | September 27, 2020 | Raheem Kassam

Claiming to have “obtained Donald Trump’s tax information extending over more than two decades,” the NYT admits its findings amount to problems most businesses deal with: “struggling properties, vast write-offs, [and] an audit battle.”

The article also admits “the filings will leave many questions unanswered, many questioners unfulfilled,” and also kills off the idea that President Trump’s finances were somehow linked to Russia. The piece reads: “Nor do [the tax returns] reveal any previously unreported connections to Russia.”

“””Claiming to have “obtained Donald Trump’s tax information extending over more than two decades,”””””””””””

Did they mention in the article that it is illegal to obtain someones tax returns without their permission?

No illegality but plenty of little daggers when used on their own. It’s already started and it looks like a bunch of little kill shots. Most people will not understand the context.

Who keeps “more than two decades” of tax information other than the IRS?

Fact: Trump when running said he would pay as little as possible in taxes.....using the allowed loop holes and that he just did what the law allowed If we did not like it congress should change the rules. Also he said he had losses and was allowed to carry them over so he paid no taxes. I forget how many years you can carry a loss. This is not new story the left is jut ginning up their base. Screw them I will still vote proudly for Pres Trump again

According to the NY, Trump is in the lower half of income earners. There goes their narrative.

Or did they mention that for the last 10 plus years, Trump has been under an IRA continuous audit that he is litigating. Therefore... NOTHING about his tax returns would be obtainable as such, legally in the last 10 years.

As Trump said tonight at his press conference— this is totally made up fake news. Totally bogus “reporting”, and reiterated that his corporate filings are all available for anyone to find out-— thorough, precise filings, and... “I pay a lot of taxes-— in many states, and US taxes as well”.

So, there you have it. This is a pure steaming heap of pooh reporting from a criminal “news” paper fraud.

Pdjt’s taxes are so complicated that they are undoubtedly prepared by a crew of top CPA’s and tax lawyers. It’s doubtful there’s anything illegal in them

The guy has been president for 4 years. Nk one cares about his tax returns. That issue is 4 tears old. Trump will be judged by his job as president, not a stupid tax return.

Trump’s income is in a family trust. It’s not going to show up in personal income tax returns. His corporate and investment holdings also won’t show there. Mine don’t. This is stupid. You set up trusts just for this purpose. The trust may have some income taxes to pay. . . But you minimize your personal taxes.

The Kennedy family trust has done this for generations.

Just saying how it looks. It is my hope there will be a huge backlash because the people have a strong sense of fairness and the Treatment our President has received from the MSM maggots is just beyond the pale. Meanwhile the corruption of the Bidens goes unreported.

Here are the facts -

Trump employs tax lawyers and tax accountants. He signs what they prepare.

The odds of top firms for both making some kind of mistake on his tax returns is highly unlikely.

What is likely is that Trump, like many billionaire businessmen, pretty much expenses his entire life so rather than “income” like we earn, he just lives life and other people worry about paying the bills from his various businesses.

There is nothing nefarious about this despite the whining of the media and fake hit pieces filed in the NYT. Bloomberg, Musk, and others likely do it the same way.

There was also the dissemination of Russian propaganda by Hillery Clinton against Trump. That is also collusion in a Coup attempt against a sitting President with a Foreign enemy.

Treason, subject to execution in days past.
