Trump's claim that NATO owes American taxpayers

So they did not agree to pay 2% of GDP? Really? Then let us withdraw from NATO. If they do not wish to contribute to their defense then neither should we. Problem solved.

They agreed to pay the US a dime. They agreed to raise their defence spending (to be read as "increase the size of their army and upgrade their equipment"), until it is 2% of GDP, and most NATO members are in compliance with that agreement.

Trump needs to read these agreements BEFORE he spouts off like this and makes a total fool of himself.

It's like him saying "I'm going to find out what's in that agreement" AFTER he spouted off at the Australian Prime Minister about the refugee agreement and the PM hung up on him.

If you're going to discuss an agreement and not look like a buffoon, you need to know what's in it BEFORE you open your mouth.
I think that most are not spending 2%. But the soviet union no longer exists. Trump went over and gave a Steve Miller bully speech, and got laughed at as a result. The real question is what is Nato's mission. Militarily we probably can't keep Putin from meddling in the Baltics or Ukraine, but even without the US, Nato spends multiple times what Russia can spend.

We didn't wreck our armored divisions by meddling in Europe. We can barely keep unit rotations going for the ME.

5 are in compliance 23 are not.
 
here's the deal if I link it you can not respond with my outline above...
you will have to come up with something better than "no laws were broken"

You can't link it, Trump's returns are not public? See I had you before you began
Donald J. Trump explicitly acknowledged for the first time during Sunday’s debate that he used a $916 million loss that he reported on his 1995 income tax returns to avoid paying personal federal income taxes for years.

What he did was legal....nice try though
i thought we made a deal?

No, Trump owes the taxpayer nothing, he used a perfectly legal way of avoiding taxes, only a fool doesn't see it or even do it....fool.

Now run along, ya got nuthin

Trump appeals the assessment on every property he owns or manages. If he loses his first appeal, he refiles and continues appealing until every avenue is exhausted. In the meantime, he pays no property taxes until the assessment is settled, which may take ten years.

If it's a small municipality, they can ill afford to carry Trump's property tax debt on their books. Taxes are calculated based on expected revenues and expected expenses. For example the municipality in Florida where Mar-A-Lagos is located is having problems footing the bill for the additional security requirements of having the President in town every weekend. Imagine if Mar-a-lago didn't pay taxes for 10 years.

Once Trump's tax bill is set, he then tries to "settle" the balance owing for however long it took to beat his assessment down. At this point the municipality may be having financial difficulties and are desperate for cash so again, he bullies them into paying less than he should.

Trump recently appealed the tax assessment on the new Washington hotel he opened during the campaign.

Sassy will say nothing here is illegal. No it's not, but it's not ethical nor is it fair to other taxpayers.
 
In 2014 the members of NATO agreed to raise their defence spending to 2% of GDP [BOLD] by 2024[/BOLD]. There is nothing in this agreement the required any NATO country to pay money to the United States. Trump's claims that the American taxpayers are owed billions is completely scurrilous and hence NATO leaders openly laughed in his face for saying it.

It should also be pointed out that the guy who went bankrupt 6 times in the United States, leaving American taxpayers to foot the bill for HIS losses has a lot of gall complaining about others stiffing American taxpayers.

Who paid the Court Costs on the 3000+ lawsuits Trump has been involved in? Who pays the bill for the 100 million Donnie spends going down to Mar-a-Lagos every weekend? Who pays the bill when Donnie stiffs small businesses and subtrades in his construction deals? Who fights for years to cut his property tax bills in every jurisdiction, refusing to pay his fair share? Why Donald Trump of course.

Donald Trump, through his bankruptcies, failed businesses, fraudulent university and numerous law suits has cost the American taxpayers billions for the costs of his law suits, his bankruptcies, and for those subtrades driven into debt or bankruptcy by his shady business practices, by his default on billions of dollars in loans.

No wonder Europe's leaders laughed in his face.

Your President is, was, and always shall be a laughingstock.

Let's start with your claim that the taxpayers are owed billions. Did he say those words or are you just spinning? Got a quote?

Next, how are taxpayer's liable for his bankruptcies? Got a link?

What makes you think that anyone else paid the court costs in the lawsuits? Got a link?

Got a link for the rest of your unsubstantiated bullshit?

If you cannot prove any of this, you are the laughingstock!

You need to take a civics class.

All costs associated with operation of both criminal and civil Courts are paid by the taxpayer. When a Plaintiff is awarded "court costs", that amount is a refund of the Plaintiffs' costs to file the suit - a nominal amount, which in no way reflects the actual cost of processing the suit, holding discoveries or having a Trial and rendering judgement. Judges are paid salaries in excess of $100,000 per year. Court stenographers, bailiffs, and the numerous office clerks and personnel required to keep all the briefs straight, are all well paid.

What do you think happens in a bankruptcy? Lenders lose money. Bankruptcies on the scale of Trump's losses mean that these corporations own properties that don't pay taxes to any level of government. The government is an "unsecured creditor".

Employees used to get paid first. I'm not sure that this is the case now. Next in line are the secured creditors - those with mortgages or debentures, and last the unsecured creditors - contractors, suppliers, government. Property taxes get paid on the sale of any real property but all other taxes owing get pooled in with the unsecured creditors.

When a large corporation goes bankrupt, someone has to make up the taxes they didn't pay, or they go on the deficit, which is owed by whom? The taxpayers.

Trump's bankruptcies and law suits are well documented and a matter of public. They are the reason Trump borrowed money from the Saudis and the Russians. American banks lost so much money lending to your bankrupt clown that they refused to give him any more money.

That would be the same Saudis that Donnie just sold smart bombs to. Weapons that Obama refused to sell to a nation with a history of sponsoring and funding terrorists.
Ewe were all for bankruptcy when GM did it. They stiffed their stockholders, paid lenders one cent on the dollar fucked over the dealerships and obama backed them all the way. Then they moved to Mexico!

I have taught civics for over 15 years you numb skull!

How many times has Trump filed personal bankruptcy? Never!

How much does he pay in taxes? I think he comes out well on the negative side when it comes to his balance sheet with the state and federal government.


You still failed to address my questions regarding NATO. Why is that?

Why don't you take your Canadian nose and stick it somewhere else? You might actually find out where your talent lies, because this isn't it!

We have an armored brigade deployed to eastern Europe. Have a nice day!

Shit head....he paid 38 million dollars in one year....according to rachel madcow........so as far as I am concerned, he already paid more than his fair share.

Now.....you pony up a tax return that says you paid 38 million dollars, in one year or over your entire life....and then you can comment on what Trump pays in taxes.....moron....

I'll put this in terms even simple enough for you to understand. We have been footing a huge chunk of the bill for European defense spending since WWII. That's why they can afford their vast welfare states that you people think is Utopia. If we suddenly shut down all of our bases overseas and brought our military home they'd suddenly have to start coughing up a lot more money for their own defense. That is what Trump means by they owe the American taxpayers.

Get it now?

They missed the first deadline if you had read up on the topic. That was 3 years ago!

No, they aren't doing it because several of them are actually reducing their military contribution even lower than the 2% they agreed to meet!
 
I can't get over how some people keep comparing ONE MAN to world countries......
who's comparing a man to a country?

If you didn't remember.....this thread is about our President saying NATO countries owe the American taxpayers.......yet the lefties keep chirping about Trump paying his personal business taxes.....long before he was ever President.

Keep up


he paid them ?

tell him to prove it then


It's real easy to tell he paid them /followed the law or he would of been sharing a cell with Wesley snipes.

It makes him look like a buffoon? No were tired of funding NATO and you cheap ass country's are getting a free ride...

Look at Hillary war in Libya , The US launched like over 100 tomahawk missles , Great Britain like 2 of them because that's all they could afford, Canada lone military tug boat launched Roman candles , bottle rockets and fire crackers in support.
