@realz
@realz the only thing I heard on cnn about trumps taxes is that was emphasized was the overvaluing of property for loans and under valuing for taxes. Thatβs not really that bad in terms of reporting a potential curiosity. If trump showed his taxes and it revealed he didnβt own anything to Russia all they could talk about is what I just mentioned. Which again is fine to look into.
it is um
What I mostly heard repeated about the taxes was the number
OK well I don't watch CNN actively, so I don't know anything specific, but the various MSM outlets were talking about his "750 USD paid in taxes ohmy"
Like, I think weβve all paid more than that in taxes lol
and his "huge" debts
no, they didn't mention that some debts are 'good debts'
imagine believing he payed 750$ I mean you have to be more than stupid or you don't pay taxes
I am willing to bet that if I searched for CNN articles, you will find what I am saying
are you willing to bet?
Thatβs all they talked about, the debts really didnβt get that much coverage. I only saw that in the New York Times , and explained it pretty fairly @realz
(no googling)
Iβm off. Night, people. Happy thanksgiving!!
search for buzzfeed you find numbers in them and "things" after in 70% of them
Something replaced the tax coverage shortly after, donβt remember what though. It wasnβt long-lived.
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)
@π΄ππππππ΄πππππππ, 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.
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
Itβs 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
