In a nutshell, Trump is a businessman, in New York. Even he needs concrete and windows and of course, his garbage needs to be picked up.
Anyone who has ever done anything in New York deals with the mob in one way or another, directly, or most probably, indirectly.
But there will NOT be a line item on his tax returns detailing it. Besides, releasing his tax return would unleash the hounds.
I worry about Trumps bluster and "seemingly" immature tactics. You have to admit though, they work. He has the GOPe scrambling and they don't know what to do. He has more free coverage from the media than any candidate EVAH! He cut Hitlary off at the knees when she started her "war on women" campaign and he has the backing of a large portion of America who is sick and tired of business as usual, yet every election they say, "We'll do it right this time, just re-elect us".
I just hope, IF he's the nominee, he starts acting like the statesman he'll be expected to be.
At the same time, Cruz is starting to look exceptionally desperate by lobbing an unsupported (and Harry Reid tactic) accusation of tax problems.
That said, I'm ok with either of them. Can't be any worse than the current occupant of the White House, and either of them would certainly be better than grandma or the old guy.
Wrong, but you certainly think like a Trump man.
Don’t worry, illegal. I’ll see if I can get you an exception!
I understand your reluctance to go back to your native Guatemala!
And you know this how? You are so filled with hate for Trump, seek help or prayers.
I agree that this isn’t the reason for Trump not releasing his tax returns, and Cruz was wrong for suggesting it might be. And I agree that any suggestion that Trump had Tony Soprano on speed-dial is also badly overblown. Any builder in New York probably had the same kind of third-party connections to the mob as Trump had. Doesn’t mean that they were part of organized crime.
Are you sure you replied to the correct post?
That settles it then. Some reporter, probably educated at the equivalent of Patrice Lumumba University says so. Good job.
