  1. No one should be surprised that this thrice married man, is experienced at bankruptcy court relief and not paying his bills, who gropes women for his pleasure, commits adultery frequently, dodged the draft, had someone else take his college entrance exam is also a tax cheat. It’s in keeping with what we know about the real Donald Trump.

  2. I am a little disappointed in the comments here. The two that were posted before me, while critical of Trump, were actually pretty mild. I expected rabid Trump supporters foaming at the month on this one, spouting sources and why these are lies.

    I will have to say the New York Times article was too nice to call Trump a con man and the Trump organization a money laundering machine, which we know the first it absolutely true, and the second, most likely true.

  3. Trump availed himself of business deductions that are available to any business. I seem to recall essentially this same story being reported in 2016; that his company had lost a billion dollars one year and that he therefore would be able to carry the loss forward for years to come after that. So now the media has once again illegally obtained more of his tax return data, and we learn…nothing more. I just have two things to ask of those who think he somehow pulled a fast one. One, if the tax code is so unfair, so skewed, how come your hero Obama didn’t do anything about it at any time during his 8 years in office, including the first two when Dems also had both houses of Congress? And two, don’t you think you should be more interested in how lifelong politicians leave office as multi-millionaires than the taxes of a billionaire who became a politician and doesn’t take a salary? I know I am.
