It looks like Trump once again is playing the media goons like a fiddle. The Clinton media tried to nail Trump for the Machado caper, and Trump turned that on them. Are we hearing anymore of the Miss Universe soon to be porn star soon to be the pregnant bimbo of a Mexican drug lord soon to be a co-conspirator in a murder plot? She has disappeared from the face of the earth because the Trump team crushed the story to make the Clinton media look like fools and Trump ended the winner.

Now this tax thing is making Trump look like a genius businessman exactly the opposite of what the Clinton media wanted. This tax story will be buried in the next few days and Trump will look like a wealth creator, a job creator, a business powerhouse that Hillary cannot even come close to. She has no idea what she is doing when it comes to business because she has no experience whatsoever in that endeavor.

Great leader that Trump!

No, he should pay more taxes than what the law requires because we all look for ways to pay more taxes than we legally have to. right?

I can’t believe this is an issue for very many people. Big media running out of things to ‘get’ Trump on.

Still, Mr. Trump should fire back and ask anyone in the media if they write off the interest on their mortgage or carry forward their stock and bond losses to future tax years.

Of course when THEY use the tax laws to their advantage, it’s perfectly all right.

Why should any Republican join the socialist’s game of fighting over who should be paying the taxes rather than how to increase the size of the pie? And Trump’s taxes are his own business as long as he is not cheating.

Trump’s not a genius. Companies do this every day! It’s part of doing business. Some years are profitable, other years are not. There are ups and downs in the business cycle.

These politicians made the loopholes, now they think loopholes that are used by businesses are a bad thing. Maybe they should change those laws.

I just got this in an email forward so I can't verify its accuracy but I'll put it out here for comment.

‘Generous’ Clintons Donated $1,042,000 To Themselves in 2015 by Brian Anderson
Bill and Hillary released their tax returns today to both pressure Donald Trump and show the world what generous benefactors they are. After making a butt-load of money for doing nothing in 2015, the Clintons want you to see that they donated $1,042,000 to charity. Upon closer inspection all of that money ended up going to them. I’m not quite sure they understand how charity works.
The Clintons made $10.6 million last year, which is astounding considering they don’t actually do anything. They don’t own or run a company. They aren’t developers or manufacturers. Nothing they do creates jobs or benefits anyone other than them.
Keeping with that theme, of the $1,042,000 they gave to charity, $1 million went to the Clinton Foundation. The Clinton’s charitable organization hasn’t proven that they actually do anything to help people, but it sure is under fire for being corrupt. As far as anyone can tell, the Clinton Foundation is a way for rich people to buy favors from the Clintons, especially Hillary.
Giving a million bucks to the Clinton Foundation is as bullshit as it gets in terms of making a charitable donation, but hey, they did give another $42,000 to a real charity, right? Not so fast. That 42k went to Desert Classic Charities, which is golf tournament.
A golf tournament may not seem like the greatest charity to give to, but it gets much worse optics wise. From the Desert Classic Charities website:

"Desert Classic Charities, the local nonprofit entity that organizes the CareerBuilder Challenge in partnership with the Clinton Foundation, will host their annual Charity Check distribution event today."

Are you effing kidding me? They just gave all of that money to themselves.
This is a tax fraud scheme. They gave 10% of their income to “charity,” wrote that off their taxes, and then these Clinton-owned charities will launder the money back to them. And guess what? The rest of us paid for that. In addition to writing off $1,042,000 in charitable donations, the Clintons found another $1,358,000 in tax deductions.
Again, they don’t actually do anything. What the hell are they writing off? Almost all of their money comes from speaking fees. How do you get almost a million and a half worth of write-offs from talking to people?
Do you really think that Hillary is on the level when she says she is going to make millionaires pay their fair share? No way in hell is she going to mess with the tax system that she and her husband benefit from so lucratively. Besides ripping off the American people, this shows how little the Clinton’s actually care about their fellow man.
There are so many worthy charities they could have donated to. They could have helped out veterans, they could have given to medical research, or they could have aided people with mental illness. Instead, they decided they themselves were most in need of help and gave to the Clintons.
And what about all of that stuff that Hillary is running for president on and claims to care about deeply? Reproductive rights? Black lives? Gun control? Immigrants? She didn’t a give a liberal dime to any of those things. This is pathetic. They didn’t buy Girl Scout cookies, boost the local high school football team, or even donate semen-stained clothing to the Goodwill. I gave more to actual charity last year than these two elitists and I don’t make a hundredth of what they do.

Way to pick ‘em, media!

Trump is a Winner.

He wins at business.

He wins on taxes.

He wins, America wins.

America welcomes winners.

I’m glad Trump has such good, no-nonsense advocates who will go on TV and fight the propagandists’ BS. This is such a nothing story, but somebody has to be there to point that out to the LIVs. Anyone criticizing Trump over this who hasn’t paid additional taxes than he or she actually legally owed is a hypocrite. From the way the leftists talk, you’d think they were all mailing in extra checks to the IRS, but somehow they don’t.

Those are facts!

He should bring it up at the next debate..

“Why didn’t vette a person before bringing them out as someone I did harm too?” Then let her spew...

When he wins, this could be a huge springboard to changing the tax code.

Not that it matters. Seriously, all we are doing is re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

Hyperbole, much? Over the top headline, “business genius”? I think he, in fact is, a “business genius”, but not for this.

What he had done there was hire the right people (tax accountants). This was smart not genius.

Let’s keep it real people.

GO TRUMP!

As a THINKING adult, one who is LOATHE to let Mother Government have one extra DIME that belongs to me, I have spent my entire working life avoiding paying taxes wherever I could, taking ALL the deductions I could, and NEVER getting back a tax ‘refund’ which is just, plain STUPID.

Don’t GIVE your $ to Government as an interest-free loan for the year! Yeesh! She’d NEVER do that for you!

Finally! Validation via Trump, LOL! I love it. :)
