    The same report shows he paid no taxes for the last 10 out of 15 years prior to becoming president. I am sure you have some reasoning for that also?

    And no, he doesn’t give up his salary, he donates it and writes it off as a charitable deduction.

    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.

    if he divested where’s that income from??? Lol

    Hey, no biggie. I see nothing wrong here. About the only thing wrong is that Democrats might work up the mob hard enough that we'll have to do away with tax deductions all together, that's a lose-lose proposition.

    The sad part is that a person with the debt level that Trump has would never get a security clearance if he wasn't elected in.

    Especially with what, 400m+ coming due in the next 4 years. I can see why he is desperate to win. Imagine someone wrestling with the decision to foreclose on a sitting POTUS?

    Because democrats have been digging profusely for anything on Trump since 2016. You would think with all the time and energy spent they would have something conclusive by now. With that said, I could be wrong completely and I'll own it if I am. But it just stands to reason that they would have found something long before now.

    The wheels of justice move slowly, especially when the president can slash their tires.

    this story , true or not, will have no effect on trumpers and their support...

    trumpers do not care he is a slime ball cheater...trumpers love them some slimeballs

    trump could shoot someone walking down 5th avenue and not lose support..

    better yet ..

    trumpers would steal the remains of his victim to pay for his defense

    TDS... Trump Devotion Syndrom

    Meanwhile while the Apprentice ran on TV he spent $70,000 on a hair stylist md over $100,000 to the same make up artist his daughter Ivanka uses. It costs big bucks to maintain that orangutan orange glow and dyed and styled main. Obviously a severe case of vanity.

    Yeah, I don't really think that's the case here. We've had private businesses hired to look into Trump, the media, and the FBI all looking for something to use on him. With that many people with that much resource after all this time, something major would have come out by now if their was anything worth repeating.
