if he had really just paid $750 in taxes then he certainly could have gotten Mexico to pay for the wall

@meglide, you just advanced to level 8!

You are missing the point here. The point is that the American people should know if trump paid off his personal debt of 100 s of millions to the Russian government. Hiding his taxes is highly suspicious. @realz

He gave away more to charity than to the wall (personal wallet of course)

@𝕴𝖓𝖞𝖇𝖎𝖘𝕴𝖓𝖘𝖚𝖑𝖆𝖙𝖊, you just advanced to level 5!

There is a big difference in Tax laws for business vs employed class people. Cannot use what the average person does for taxes and make sense out of what Trump's tax situation is.

Which interestingly isn’t something covered on cnn at all @realz

I agree it was suspicious and the american people should know, I already agreed several times. OTOH I think Trump was smart not to volunteer things that will be used as weapons against him

Worse than hiding the taxes *being* suspicious, hiding the taxes *looks* suspicious, and how a thing *looks* is all that matters now.

That I saw

It’s a public perception game now, and the left has more ammo on Trump than the right had on Biden.

So how did Biden hide all the taxes he should be paying on the Ukraine & China underhanded deals?

I think the right had more ammo. They just didn't use it well

Oh that's right it never happened......

and for another proof why do you think they wanted too lock you down in youre home the ratical left will taste the kcraken now because we the people caught them in there plot too fraud the people of the united states

oh and CNN outright lies here

```
The new details gleaned from the President's tax records build on previous New York Times reports that detailed how Trump paid no federal income taxes whatsoever in 10 out of 15 years beginning in 2000 because he reported losing significantly more than he made.
In both the year he won the presidency and his first year in the White House, Trump paid just $750 in federal income taxes, the Times reported.
```

that is a lie

THE MOST RELIABLE SOURCE IN MEDIA LIED

the times reported _one payment of 750 USD_

CNN is just a rag

Trump admitted it...

Well sure it’s smart (in a elementary kind of way) and if everyone had that opportunity they would take it. @realz There was zero emphasis in media on any side about this topic. Instead they just focused on the fact that no other president ever released their tax returns and stopped their reasoning there. Who knows maybe they didn’t want to bring it up because it sounds too close to a accusation

SELL SELL SELL

you mean he said something to the effect of "paying less is smarter"

that isn't admitting it

the NYT itself said that this was not the case

he pays taxes, good, good ^^

it said that it only found a single payment of 750 USD

and that there may be other payments

Yeah but he never said being in debt to a foreign country is smart and everyone should do it if they can

I don’t think anyone holds that position

and thats another reason biden hired all of obamas party back into office too lock you down wake up people

I’m sure whatever the tax situation was it was probably legal (you can hire professionals to chase down loopholes), but that doesn’t mean it was necessarily ethical.

yea OK maybe I don't disagree (though I don't think the media has a problem making accusations lol)

This isn’t even about the media. More Americans watch Fox News than cnn or msnbc

I mean honestly he could have moved money through a shell in the caymans and no one would know anyways because the IRS would have to go through so much red tape to find it.

he has businesses set up in Panama
