The New York Times has (probably illegally) obtained very old tax data belonging to Donald Trump, and are making much of how much money he lost.
Who really gives a rat’s patootie?
The NY Times lost over a billion dollars investing in other newspapers. The most prominent failure was buying the Boston Globe for $1.1 billion in 1993 and selling it for $70 million 20 years later. The NY Times also sold their largest block of stock to the richest man in Mexico, Carlos Slim, to help make ends meet. It remains to be seen whether that was such a hot idea for either the Times or Slim.

Just another bristle in the brush they’re trying to tar him with. Let’s see the tax returns, personal and business, of Feinstein and her husband.

I’d be surprised if either of the Feinsteins paid any taxes at all. They know how to dodge that.

There’s also the long-on-going issue of did Mz Feinstein use her influence to, heaven forbid, steer lucrative government contracts to hubby?

Well, I think I know the answer to that.

The question, “is the pope Catholic?”, is iffy these days, but imagine a similar response.

I agree…………I don’t care. I don’t care about what he did back then. But, I do believe that God’s hand is in this. President Trump has a God fearing, God loving wife and I feel that everything that is happening is having an affect on Donald Trump. God is using him. And, I believe that God had and hand in educating Donald Trump in the wicked ways of the politicians, and taught him the ways to fight back.

Great minds,,,listened to this while mowing this afternoon, and here it is.
The first 10 minutes were fairly frustrating, with Bill answering little to Scott Ott’s challenges. ‘I don’t care” is not enough, to the question ‘Why should these tax returns matter.’ imo
But starting at 11:00, Bill kills it. From 11:00 on, Bill lays out the exact reason why ‘I don’t care” works at this time and place, as well as the answer to ‘Why support Donald Trump?’.
If one hasn’t time for the full ~17 minutes, start at 11:00 and listen for 4 minutes. Every correct answer is found in those 4 shorts minutes. Bill knocks it out of the park.
Great post, Stella, thank you.

Keep in mind folks that Donald Trump is a business man and a brilliant one at that, the paperwork for his taxes on any given year is probably a few feet high.
And what has Trump said since day one of “The Great Tax Hunt” he has said “I took every legal tax break available to me and I have the best attorneys.”
Fancy legal footwork can make any company lose money and thereby avoid paying taxes. There is a reason citizen Trump was audited every year. Thankfully it appears that his tax attorneys are smarter than the jackals.
If there was a, there there, in the taxes the Obama IRS would have hauled him off in the blink of an eye years ago.
Smoke and mirrors.
