Does he hide his taxes because he isn't as wealthy as he claims or as charitable?

Or both?

I'm sure it's been posted here before, but you should, lol:

I've seen this argument before. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt to Donald here.

But yeah. This fact makes him look less like a good businessman, and more like someone who was born with a ton of money, has tried a million different and random businesses (never failing to egotistically title it "Trump X"), and has wound up more or less in the same position as he would have been if he sat on the beach with that money and played bingo at night.

I can't hate unduly on Hillary supporters. She's the only conventional politician this election.




Some people with few prospects would pay 40-60k over four years on loan for the kind of soft skills Trump got in meetings and boardrooms.

Edit: I don't think any of those index funds were around when he got started either. That also being said, he had a pretty big baller lifestyle the whole time.

Because he's smart. The media will use it as a smear regardless of whether its good or not.



Fred Trump died in 1999 not 1987 dumbass, making the inheritance claim wrong.

How are websites dumb enough to do exponential growth math like this?

Can you quote the claim that you're so excited about here, real quick?

No. Apparently he's being audited.

"Audit the Fed! Not Trump!"

What's odd is that people are basically saying he should have given his money to a zillionaire or two on wall street to manage, instead of his funding his business ventures (which created tens-of-thousands of jobs for people from all walks of life, put tons of money in the economy, all those transactions and exchanges had taxes collected off of them etc.) then they would yell at him for hoarding his money with rich bankers and collecting capital gains each year on a yacht thumbing his billions.

Nope, just pointing out he's a terrible businessman compared to generic funds and sitting on his thumbs. Feel free to try to spin that because it hurts your feelers tho.

I don't know. He seems pretty wealthy and successful.
