Trump's Taxes

[White 6]

These folk here won't believe that.

Of course, we believe Trump is a nincompoop, and an anti-American one, at that.

From your link,

The government agency received his reported take-home pay of $78,333, plus an additional $22,000 from an anonymous donor to bump the donation to $100,000.

So he didn't donate his entire salary, he donated his take-home pay, and he got refunded back the taxes he paid. I checked, in 2017 he got a 4.4 million dollar refund. He paid $750 in income taxes. He is a deadbeat.

/——-/ democrats wrote the tax laws. Trump just followed them.

I saw the thread title and my first thought was...
So fucking what?

Looking at Trumps tax returns CNN reports that Trump claimed no charitable donations at all on his 2020 tax return. But what about the promise he said that he would donate his entire salary while in office. Should he have deducted that as a charitable donations but it looks like he kept that particular year paycheck.

Do we remember how Trump used the IRS is auditing me as an excuse for not showing his returns.

We now know that the IRS did not audit him as required.

2017 – Declared negative income of $12.8 million, paid $750 in federal income tax.

2018 – Declared income of $24.4 million, paid $999,466 in federal income tax.

2019 – Declared income of $4.44 million, paid $133,445 in federal income tax.

2020 – Declared negative income of $4.69 million, claimed a REFUND of $5.47 million.

So if seem that Civilian Trump had negative income from 2015 to 2016. yeah he may have had taxes withheld during the year but got it all back

President Trump in 2018 had positive income ( 24 mil) and paid significant taxes. I would guess all those Trips to his golf resort and properties he owned with his entourage made him some big time money paid for by the government.

Last year in office he claimed negative income but got a refund of 5.4 mil.

And people talk about Hunter Biden using his connections to make money.

It looks like The Trumps income was mostly investment income and they were able to write off losses from business endeavors.

Well we all remember Trump Air and I mean the business not him speaking.

The former president's returns showed big losses, complicated business set-ups and no taxes paid in 2020.

The Clinton's 'Foundation' scam spent 95% of what they extorted on themselves, their cronies and friends, and gave around 5% to 'causes', not charities.

100%...TRUE!

They spent lavishly, to say the least, on travel, lodging, and meals for themselves and their friends.

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.

IDGAF. It is a travesty. A private citizens tax records should never be made public unless the citizen releases them. Who's the next democrat enemy to be targeted. I want to see Piglosi's, Schumer's, Schiff's--hell tax records for EVERY elected official. IRS has the right and responsibility to audit anyone's taxes and if they find violations, they can charge them. Congress does not have that right.

So is giving to charity required to be reported on taxes?

No, it’s not.

 

[Markle]

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

I'm curious how someone so ignorant could be a moderator.

/——/ He donated his salary. Trump May Have Donated His $1.6M Salary To Federal Agencies

And the Trump cult rushes in blindly to defend the indefensible.

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.

 

[Synthaholic]

he paid 1.1 million in federal taxes while president

That was foreign taxes.

 

[Synthaholic]

You're just mad because his taxes don't prove fuck all...lol.

They prove that he never donated his salary, which you dopes swallowed whole.
They prove that he was not under audit, like you morons parroted without question.

 

[Synthaholic]

If he followed the tax code, what he did was legal, hence he didn't cheat.

Why are you assuming he followed the tax code? Oh, that's right - moron.

 

[Synthaholic]

BREAKING: After years of legal battles, House Democrats publicly released six years of Donald Trump's tax records.

ALSO BREAKING: NOBODY GIVES A SHIT.

That's why it's been the #1 story today, and will continue to be. Because no one cares.

It's pretty simple, really. Trump built a casino complex that was too large to be supported by the overall community it served.

Look at it this way: If you live in a relatively small town (say somewhere around 20,000 people), the population can be served by several restaurants, food courts, fast food restaurants, and small specialty restaurants (like steak houses that only serve dinner), and Mexican restaurants, and Italian restaurants. Some might serve only breakfast and lunch, and some might serve only lunch and dinner. But what if someone decided to open a HUGE restaurant that could seat 250 people and served 3 meals a day and was open for 18 hours a day? Could it compete in such a small town? I don't think so. The staff and food cost would be enormous compared to its competitors.

Trump was blinded by his dreams of grandiosity and his hope that he could compete with places like Monaco. Trump's vision is the classic example of "too big to succeed." I can't remember the numbers now, but Trump had several restaurants under one roof as well as casinos, hotels, and a men's club. He needed enormous amounts of customers, clients, and gamblers just to break even. He didn't have them.

Not only that, he was competing against himself. He had three very large casino properties that need to make payments, but he diluted the gambling pool, so none of the three made profits.

Because, and the taxes show, he's a shitty businessman. He always has been. That's why he's gone bankrupt 6 times, couldn't make money with casinos, couldn't make money with football, couldn't make money with an airline. He's a fraud with a good used car salesman pitch.

The never ending Trump obsession is amusing. In a sick perverse libtarded way.

Let’s have our DC team check in. Is Brandon still President? Hasn’t he been for the past two years?
