    Did you pay more than 750 bucks in taxes? What would you pay if rich idiots like trump paid his fair share?

    Trump gives up a salary for being President, the Democrats demand he divest himself from the Trump business, then when he only has enough income to pay $750 in Federal taxes they complain about that too.

    The investigation needs to be who released highly private personal tax information which is protect by federal law. You support criminal behavior? Don't support the right to privacy?

    It clearly says the IRS has audited THEY are the body that would investigate and file charges of any tax fraud, have they?

    And if the Times was to prove their claims then release the documents, what are they hiding and who they obtained them else they are stand to be supporting criminal behavior.

    He’s not divested and the salary thing is just to get another write off to shirk paying taxes

    Income taxes aren't based on wealth.

    Taxes aren't based on wealth they are based on income, if you had an income loss then you would pay no income taxes, did you?

    So he lost money or made next to nothing for the last 15 years? You may wanna elect me, apparently I’m a much more successful business man.

    "Donald J. Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency. In his first year in the White House, he paid another $750."

    He had no income he gave it to charities.

    What the IRS did was "What the IRS does" with rich peoples financials, they look to bone them ALL THE TIME.. Trump was no exception either, they didn't audit his ass for 20 years because they LOVED him :) Look it boils down to this, if the IRS could have, THEY damn well would have..

    I can't believe the left is rolling back the FAIL clock to Trumps financials like something new has sprung up, the IRS was created just for what you all are now revisiting and they had 20 years to nail him and they couldn't, AND HERE we are again same crap NEW DAY, and the results will be the same ;)

    The president’s financial disclosures indicated he earned at least $434.9 million in 2018, but the tax filings reported a $47.4 million loss.

    Say again???
