There are far worse balance sheets with tremendous US domiciled debt. I am sure it's a matter of basis points which guides the ultimate choice.

you think a major lifelong fuckup and waste of taxpayer dollars like thor knows this? lol that fucking privileged lefty is pushing 30 and still relies on his in-laws and the government for grocery money

I don’t get the apologists

Why does this seem unreasonable? He has already claimed that the tax system can be manipulated, implying he also has financially gained the system.

The proper apologist defense should be that it was legal

paying the exact amount legally required is about as American as you can get

if anyone feels otherwise i implore them to pay more than required - there is a line on the w4 tax form which makes it easy to do so, called “extra withholding”

You haven't said why it matters yet unless you concluded there's material fraud and somehow you have information the IRS doesn't.


You don't think this reporting reveals anything about Trump or our system that matters?

“American citizen pays tax bill he is legally required to pay” is not newsworthy. if you have an issue with tax laws take it up with nancy pelosi she is in charge of the chamber of the legislature responsible for putting bills on the floor for a vote

lol @ you ever calling yourself conservative in any fashion. make sure you pay 100% of your income in taxes, privileged lefties like you dont need the money anyway. im sure someone at the hr dept at the planned parenthood office you work at can help you out

The "nothing matters" bots appear.


You are indulging in the same dishonest criticisms that were levied against Romney.

Did anyone think that Trump paid more taxes than necessary? That companies don't offset gains with losses?

why bother? those people don't even mind that he's responsible for tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths due to a pandemic that he keeps politicising, downplaying, and actively undermining the scientific consensus on - you think they care that he's a tax cheat?

of course his refusal to release them despite multiple promises to do so, and this reporting demonstrate how fundamentally broken the system is, and that so called "conservatives" couldn't care less about things like honesty, integrity, or a president leading by example - but do you honestly expect them to admit how they were completely had by conman, if just to themselves? of course not, cultists gonna cult. there's literally nothing that isn't justifiable or not a big deal to them.

Yeah I'm really confused by what exactly someone should be offended or outraged here by?

I have a feeling it has something to do with accounting & tax ignorance.

Lmk tcock


Oh I don't care at all. It's just something newsworthy because Trump's been hiding this stuff for years. Personally, I think Trump should have just released his returns in 2016 and given libs the finger.

You don't think this hasent been on the forefront over a decade? Tax laws change annually in most countries, general anti avoidance policies, revisions to heavily manipulates areas, etc. I get an article a day on it. It's likley just not a part of your world. You're not part of the taxation industry.

It reveals nothing about Trump that it dosent reveal about anyone. Everyone wants to minimize their own tax burden within the confines of the law.

If you're trying to stretch this to say it shows he's a liar and he made far less than he did I'd just say you're aufully slow to let this be the article that solidifies he over exaggerates everything.

It's either fraud or its not. Period.


Jesus looks at the people saying how this reveals how the system is broken.

Tax law isn't hidden information. It's public access. Just because you don't have the time to read it or digest it doesn't mean this is some bombshell piece that's so revealing.

I mean basic third year university courses teach you how to best offshore money and offset income and still remain within the law. Best as in best that can be taught within the limitations of a university course. You do case study after case study on how to minamize taxes for your client without going into the dark area. Stick to the gray they say.

why? let them embarrass themselves with this nonsense “pay more than you are legally required” rhetoric

the election-deniers already gave America the finger when they admitted Trump paid close to 40 million in federal taxes alone in one year.

I think most of the American population is pretty ignorant so this can be an effective attack in a race where Trump is already getting killed. In Trump world, stories die rather quickly i.e. remember that he was impeached!
