    As much an indictment of the tax system as it is of Trump.

    Do want to know how Trump avoided IRS audits the first two years he was in office when it was standard IRS procedure
    to audit ALL President's returns after 1977. That needs to be investigated.

    He floated the lie that he couldn't release them as he was being audited.

    That prompted a statement from the IRS saying they can't prevent someone from releasing their own taxes.

    IIRC, earlier this year, it was reported that Trump or somebody in that cesspool admitted he made that up on the fly.

    Then, he appointed Mnuchin and he ran interference by lying to Congress.

    Every president up for re-election has released their taxes while under audit.

    Yes.

    However, keep in mind who is his target audience (aka marks/victims).

    There are people sitting in prison for brutally mob attacking Capitol police officers.

    Some said they never researched him until they were arrested.
    Some didn't vote in 2020.
    Some weren't even registered to vote.

    So, while you and I and others without orange-colored glasses know we can find some of that information ourselves...you do the math. ;-)

    P.S. I will admit that I'm stunned by the level of apologetics. Instead of stepping back and saying "this dude is a loser and liar" they seem to actually believe that EVERY:

    Auditor
    Police officer
    FBI agent
    Court judgments against him
    Reporter
    Webmaster
    Democrat
    Independent that voted D
    Election worker
    Election volunteers
    Everyone around the world that despises him
    The Pope
    All former POTUSes
    Etc.

    are "just out to get him".

    That bullsh!t is statistically impossible. Even some of the Capitol officers they brutalized had to be Toxic Traitor supporters.

    It makes no sense but I know it's beyond bad because I've never blocked anybody and I never turned my back on anybody in my offline life. I tried and failed to forgive the J6 apologists. I've also never been able to not forgive the most egregious harms so that's new too. I will never speak to any of them anywhere for any reason. They helped a loser con man sell us out and leave a trail of bodies in his wake. Indefensible.

    Why would you assume Trump is a tax fraud? Legally using the tax code to one's personal advantage does not make someone a criminal.

    And he probably is guilty of something. Doen't change the fact that using the tax laws to your advantage is not against the law. Releasing how much he did, or didn't, pay is simply a smear campain. Why don't we look into how carreer politicians end up multi-millionairs? Let's release everyone in Congress' tax bill

    You have to remember you are responding to people that wouldn't know what depreciation and expenses were if it hit them in the face because they're busy collecting checks, not signing them on the front.

    It's pure dumbassery.

    it can be, we will see, if it's false deductions, false charity, etc... we have to wait

    if the Trump IRS has audited him like they were supposed too, we would maybe know already, now we have to wait

    You only pay income taxes if you have an income. Did he have an income? In my research you lost money so yeah he wouldn't pay income taxes on a negative income nobody does.

    Trump gave away his presidential salary in 2020. Of course he didn't pay taxes on his salary... LMFAO

    did he really though, or did he just say he was going too

    kinda like he said he was going to release his taxes after the audit was done
