Rachel Maddow has Trumps Taxes

[Prudii]

a single 1040 from 2005 that revel he paid 38 million in taxes on 150 million in income and nothing obviously illegal.

I do believe the term for this is egg on face.


Trump 2005 tax files released by MSNBC, White House rips ‘desperate’ story

 

[dubleuhb]

I wonder how he got the return ?

 

[Frankly]

Every halfassed anti-Trump accountant will pour over them until they find something to complain about, that's why he didn't release them during the campaign.

I don't think Trump is crooked or that he ran for power or money. It's a horrible job and he is suffering for doing it. I think the healthcare bill sucks and have my concerns but the one article of faith I lean on is that Trump's worst case scenario is still a huge improvement over Hillary's or any Democrat's best case scenario.

Wouldn't it be great if Sessions prosecuted NBC and took down that bitch?

 

[dubleuhb]

When you work and play in that league you always will be under scrutiny. I'm doubting President Trump played loose with the IRS, he may have taken advantage of everything he could on his taxes but he didn't get where he was by being an idiot.

 

[Darth]

Let me take a wild SWAG:

They PROVE his underhandedness.

Or some liberal horseshit.

 

[Podmonkey]

38 mil?! Jesus that's gotta hurt. Especially when you know its going to be squandered.

 

[dubleuhb]

38 mil?! Jesus that's gotta hurt. Especially when you know its going to be squandered.

And that is probably one of the reasons Trump wanted the job, talk about skin in the game !

 

[EMSBronco]

Even MSNBC's sister station CNBC has turned on Maddow:
Op-Ed: Donald Trump just got a nice victory, thanks, of all people, to Rachel Maddow

 

[Deplorable Me]

38 mil?! Jesus that's gotta hurt. Especially when you know its going to be squandered.

Think of all the secondary taxes that never get included in income tax associated with his earnings. Sales tax, luxury tax, income tax by people employeed, permits, fees, fuel tax.......

 

[EMSBronco]

And, Trump paid higher taxes than Kaine (20%), Obama (19%), Romney (14.1%), and the socialist Sanders (13.5%). Surprisingly, the Clintons paid a higher rate at 31%.

Hillary Clinton's 2015 tax return shows $10.6 million in income, 31% rate -- and puts pressure on Donald Trump

 

[livingston]

Trump's hefty business loss appears to be a continued benefit from his use of a tax loophole in the 1990s, which allowed him to deduct previous losses in future years. In 1995, Trump reported a loss of more than $900 million, largely as a result of financial turmoil at his casinos
Everyone still can carry a loss forward if one is in business ... A loophole for the folks that never owned a business. The loophole they never cried about is when the Clintons donated their used underwear and claimed it on their tax return .

 

[Deplorable Me]

Silly democrats, as a business model, your government always runs at a loss with no attempt to try and break even.

 

[dsdmmat]

So publishing these the illegally obtained records it (RM) got would be a crime. Hope they foolishly decide to publish and the Justice Department prosecutes to the fullest extent of the law.

 

[Calculon]

I hope they go after that guy Maddow - it's a crime to publish someone else's returns. Trump can then be magnanimous and pardon him if he wants to really stick it to the media.

 

[spat]

Surprisingly, the Clintons paid a higher rate at 31%.

I bet if you add "donations" to the "clinton foundation" you'll find that a significantly smaller number.....

The 2005 tax return could have been an anomaly. Maybe Trump doesn't pay this much in taxes normally. Or, maybe he usually pays more. Who knows! Either way, this story has created the appearance that Trump does in fact make a lot of money, and he pays millions in taxes.

For the next news cycle, we're likely to see this story dominate, giving Trump some breathing room as the media had been laser focused on the GOP health-care bill's flaws.

The information was actually released by The White House.

 

[prambo]

All I got is -



Oh, shit, laughed so hard I .

Fuck it!

ETA: I'm think Trump played the morons. He knew they'd get something somewhere and he knew he always played by the rules. So he publicly embarrassed the douche-nozzles, and he's shown to be honest. And.....I would bet there's a good chance he engineered the release himself.

 

[MikeM]

The $17,000,000 of itemized deductions have to either be State taxes paid or Charitable contributions. I am guessing State taxes since that's what often leads the huge alt min taxes.
[but to be fair, it could also me the fact that the alt min nol got used in prior years while he still had the 100 mil left for 2005 regular taxes]

 

[Blimey]

Even CNN had a critical piece on her with this one. Had she left well enough alone the left could pretend he never paid taxes. Now, what little we have from his returns, is that he actually paid at least a lot one year. Until/unless we get the rest it will be hard to get traction on this because it's pretty embarrassing for maddow.

Stop being so hard on the dude. He's actually not a bad guy.

What is better? To have a Billionaire become president or have a penniless Community Organizer become president and leave a millionaire. Even Cuomo can't find two of his own nickels to rub together, but his campaign has 20 million.
