Funny how illegality matters when your party is exposed..
When those truth seeking groups expose one side the other cheers, and vice versa.
I dont think anyone running for public office can complain about ANY of their past actions/activities coming under the lamp...if you dont want to be scrutinized then dont get involved in politics.
Do I think Trump is hiding losses and tax cheats? Of course he is..

If anyone want's to talk about tax cheats look no further than the Clinton Foundation run by Hillary Clinton and her family..
I will say,, Trump probably knows the tax code as good as anyone..probably better than anyone who has ever run for President ..so who better to know how to fix it ?
It's one thing to know the tax code and not pay any taxes legally and it's another thing to file fraudulent tax statements..
In a review of the Clinton Foundations ( which Hillary is a part of ) tax returns result in multiple years of tax forms having to be re-filed. Clinton Foundation financial statements had material misstatements (fraud)............
The Clinton Foundation failed to disclose 1,100 foreign donations it received...I can see,,,, with so many foreign donations coming in to the Foundation..it's easy to overlook 1,100 of them...so that's not cheating ..

According to politico, Clinton Foundation refiling of tax returns were voluntary with no legal obligation to file amended returns. Despite errors, CF didn't owe any taxes because there was no change in bottom line numbers such as assets and liabilities. Now charity watchdogs Charitywatch and Charity navigator reinstated their highest ratings for CF.

We are not only talking about about taxes here ...there is a case of donations by foreign governments while Mrs. Clinton was Secretary of State...no wonder they forgot to include the 1,100 foreign donations they received...............upon becoming Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton promised that the
Foundation would stop accepting donations from foreign governments..
By hiding the foreign donations in the Foundation’s tax filings with the IRS were less than transparent...and it looks like they were trying to hide pay to play...
These extensive donations by foreign governments ( 1,100 of them )while Mrs. Clinton was
Secretary of State shows Hillary which violated her
promise ,,,so her code of ethics receives the lowest rating.........

According to politifact, non-profit charities such as Clinton Foundation have no legal obligation to reveal who gives them money. Disclosure of information is voluntary and laws protect donor identities. Also legal for Clinton Foundation to accept foreign donations. Claims of "pay for play" are dubious without solid evidence.

"non-profit charities such as Clinton Foundation have no legal obligation to reveal who gives them money."
Not entirely true according to your politifact. ' nonprofits,like the Clinton Foundation, have nearly no obligation to
publicly reveal who gives them money. They might need to tell a
government agency, but the details remain confidential.'
"legal for Clinton Foundation to accept foreign donations"
Yes it is ,but whenHillary Clinton was made Barack
Obama’s secretary of state in 2008, the potential for conflicts of
interest tied to the Clinton Foundation was front and center. So concerned was Obama’s presidential transition team....,they had the foundation sign a memorandum to report its donors ... who it was who gave to the Foundation...
Why would Obama want Hillary Clinton to do that ?
In
order to avoid the appearance of conflict of interest. Pay for Play that's why..
Upon becoming Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton promised that the
Foundation would stop accepting donations from foreign governments..and she did not.... hence the forgotten foreign donors on the Foundation's tax returns for over three years..
"Claims of "pay for play" are dubious without solid evidence."
You say dubious ,,I sat obvious..
Bill and Hillary Clinton are two very good lawyers who have been skirting the law for a very long time,,,they have lived their whole lives above the law..however the proof of the pudding is always in the eating...

Hard for Trump to argue one of his quality is being a good business-man when he loses basically $1 Billion in one year. Yes, it's legal and part of the tax codes but does that not equate to being a good business-man, it's having good tax accountant!

Trump is such an economic imbecile that he managed to lose nearly $1 billion in a single year, and Giuliani had the unmitigated gall to refer to Trump as an "economic genius."
Yeah, nothing shouts "economic genius" like a billion-dollar loss and four bankruptcies.

Giuliani is probably referring to Trump as an "economic genius." .. Because he knows how to protect his personal finances. ....
Trump's corporations or properties have sought Chapter 11 protection. Trump personally has
not. ..

But a government that's run up a $20T deficit ($10T of it in the 8 years) is made up of a bunch of geniuses? If you can show where Trump did something illegal and he was charged & convicted, I'd like to see it. But if plays by the rules of the geniuses that ran up the $20T debt - whose the imbecile and who's the genius?

Trump still has his history of bankruptcies and still has his history of bleeding 10 figures large. And no matter how many tantrums you throw about Obama or Hillary or whoever, the facts about trump don't change.
And comparing his personal financial failings with national debt is silly. But I guess this is how uneducated trump supporter manufacture their reality and world view. It's one thing when you see it joked about, it is another when you see it displayed like this to the light of day.
So what exactly trump's plan to reduce the debt? Can you articulate that?
Looking forward to hearing your response.
Huh?
So how does this change the facts?

Nice. Cavuto asleep at the mic with Scott Baio! Anyway.
This 'supposed' tax issue does not matter one bit to me. I could care less if Trump paid taxes along with I could care less if he lost 900 some odd million dollars in a year. Bad year. A year does not make the man. Go Trump!
I don't believe this issue gains any traction vs a *itch like HRC.

With all due respect to The New York Times (Daniel Ellsburg) and OccupyWallstreetcapper, just what has been exposed ?
That Trump has a Legal Deduction,codified in the Tax Code, that he can make use of for 18years according to the Statute or that he is exercising his primary right in the Tax-payers Bill of Rights?
1) Pay the least amount of Tax.

After watching Trump explains his huge $916 million tax losses in 1995 at his Colorado rally as of now and the reactions by his supporters at this rally accordingly.
"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters," , i think Donald is right about that.

looking at it objectively, here are the problems with this tax return. try to be objective and look at it from an undecided's viewpoint
1. trump has run on this idea that he's this great businessman. he lost almost a billion dollars in one year. he owns friggin casinos. and not just any year. the economy was great in 1995. this was the very early stages of the real estate boom. he;'s in real estate. what kind of shitass businessman is he?
2. trump's slogan is to make america great again. it does cost money to run the country. how do we pay for stuff if people like trump won't pay any taxes.
3. trump has made many comments shitting on people who don't pay taxes and complaining about how we are taxed too much. now, democrats are bringing these comments back and showing what a hypocrite he is.
4. this just further reinforces the point that rich and connected people get unfair advantages while the poor and middle class get screwed and are forced to carry them. on top of that, at least hillary has proposed tax changes that would deal with some of this stuff, to her detriment, while trump's plan would keep this garbage going, to his family's benefit.
5. if this wasn't a big deal to people, why wouldn't he just release his taxes like every other candidate does. this also reinforces the belief that there's probably more garbage out there and worse garbage since he still isn't releasing his taxes.
if you are drinking the trump koolaid, nothing trump can do will be a negative, but if you look at it objectively, i think you can see how this is a negative for him.
