Trump's Taxes

[frigidweirdo]

I do not care how so called leaders spend their money. Just how they spend my money. You know that Fuckwad Biden is a prolific liar yet it doesn't bother you at all.

Well, if you looked at my posts you're realize I'm not a Democrat or a Republican. I don't worry about Trump or Biden because the electoral system is much worse than either of them. The rich control the country.

HOWEVER is a Democracy (I'm not saying the US is a Democracy, at best it's a semi-Democracy) people should know what they're voting for. Whether their politicians are lying through their teeth about charity giving, taxes paid, whether their politicians are doing dodgy things with taxes (no matter how legal they are).

Politicians should stand for something, the electoral system means two parties don't stand for much, and what they do stand for is usually pointless.

No, government agencies are not charities. I mean do try and keep up. Or just keep watching your Gunsmoke reruns.

 

[MisterBeale]

To who? What charity organization did he donate it to?

Trump earned same presidential salary as Biden

A claim shared thousands of times on social media suggests Donald Trump was not paid during his presidential term while President Joe Biden is. The claim is misleading; while in office Trump did receive a salary funded by American taxpayers but he chose to donate it to various government agencies.

Notice the wording of the links.

"May have donated".......

"Probably donated"........

During his 2016 campaign, Donald Trump promised to donate his salary if elected President. It was a promise, even his critics acknowledge, that Trump was keeping.

Yes I forget you people slavishly lick the boots of oligarchs who pay for laws that redistribute taxpayer money to them.

I’m sorry, did you say something about oligarchs taking money from the government?

You MAGA Dems crack me up…

He's going to be compared to the Clintons, who donated way more than $0 to charity every year, and he is going to have a narcissistic meltdown as a result.

You're SUCH a fuktard!

The Clintons' "charities" are money laundering scams. Always have been!

Trump KNOWS charities are SCAMS anyway, thats why he's SMART and doesn't donate to these greed mongering organizations!!

Bill and Melinda Gates' "charities" ONLY "help" already established companies that are worth millions of dollars. Just like politicians, this is how they launder their money.
The ONLY "charity" they give to, is THEMSELVES.

And if you think any different, then you're a brain dead moron.




And this is just the tip of the corrupt iceberg!!!

It all depends on one's POV.

This is the very reason that government makes it more and more difficult, and has been passing regulations, that make it difficult for charity organizations to do their job, because, YES, what government does, is, ostensibly, CHARITY!

Why It's Illegal to Feed Homeless in Major U.S. Cities

Cities across America have cited health issues to institute bans on sharing food in public places, but activists say such laws contribute to a trend of criminalizing homelessness.

Wait, you mean over the last six years the only years that Trump actually made money was when he was president? Hell, I thought he was "sacrificing" in order to "serve". And hell, he only made money in the middle two years. He figured out the grift but started losing it when he dropped the ball on Covid. Businessman my damn ass. I wouldn't allow him to run a Girl Scout cookie table in front of Walmart.

No, Trump uses charities as a scam.

Trump Ordered to Pay $2 Million Over Scam Charity

The charity had, among other things, allegedly used funds to buy a $10,000 painting of Trump.

I made a non negative income amount and paid way more in taxes than Trump did and I gave way more to charity. I’m a big deal apparently.

I take it easy on Biden supporters, especially in the season of giving .. I consider that charity..

the Clintons, who donated way more than $0 to charity every year,

Did the Clinton's donate to a real charity or to their Clinton Family slush fund?

All you do is spew Corporate Media propaganda, and you are trying to claim I follow or admire some oligarchy?

 

[BluesLegend]

He donated his entire four years of presidential salary, nincompoop.

Oh shit, you utterly destroyed the OP's thread in the 2nd post!

As he was charging the Secret Service $1000/day to guard his sorry as at MAL & his other rodent infested resorts.

I guarantee they paid taxes and donated to things instead of not paying taxes and bragging about giving the federal money negative millions of dollars.

Once again, drivel from the lips of the uneducated. You can't guarantee anything. Obama and Biden didn't pay any taxes on the money they received from Hunter Biden's dealings with China and the Ukraine. Where is all the Ukrainian money really going? But, back to Trump. You claimed he did not give anything when in fact, he did. As far as paying taxes, note that there are no legal ramifications for how Trump filled out his tax returns. All that he did is legal. You simply don't understand the tax codes that allow him write-offs. Now, his corporations do pay taxes. But, for Trump to pay taxes, he has to first earn money. Tax shelters and loopholes drawn up by Congress allow owners of businesses to not have to pay personal income taxes. And, it's all legal. That's not a President's fault. That's Congress which mostly Democrats control.

I didn’t mention government charities, dufus. Keep watching Mork & Mindy reruns, asswipe.

Edward McCaffery, a tax law professor at the University of Southern California, told AFP it looks like Trump gave that money away. Daniel Shaviro, a taxation professor at the New York University School of Law, concurred.

"He reported charitable contributions for his years as president that were made in cash and that exceeded the amount of his presidential salary," Shaviro said in a December 28 email. "Also, since money is fungible, it really doesn't matter which money he contributed."​

Trump tax report does not prove he retained presidential salary

After Congress released details on Donald Trump's taxes in December 2022, Democratic activists and groups claimed on social media that the report indicated the former US president did not donate his salary as he had promised. This is misleading; while the document includes wages Trump earned...
