Finally released, Trump tax returns show how he used laws to minimize his liability
2022-12-31
In other words, everything he did was legal and above board? The horror!!!

#11  SBF, Weinstein and Epstein taxes would be like Rosetta Stones for corruption. I don’t think Epstein is being actively investigated.

#10  Remember the 'news' when Bill Clinton donated his used underwear, and got a tax deduction?

1. Before Monica, and

2. Back when Dems were fair game.

#9  I saw the scary headlines on CNN this morning while a captive audience at the gym.

Trump used loss carryforwards!!!!!! Oh, the horror! As if everyone in the US isn't going to do that after the stock market meltdown this year.

Trump had overseas bank accounts!!! As does just about everyone (including me) who ever managed overseas operations for their company.

But, as always, CNN counts on the ignorance of their audience to be shocked and horrified by these goings-on. I'll believe that Mr. Licht is changing CNN when there is even the slightest effort to educate their viewers with just a little context and definition instead of hystercal use of nonfamiliar terms.

#8  Genius of the man to refuse to disclose his returns all this time, in spite of all the demands that he do so, and then let the Jan 6 committee members make complete fools of themselves by making such a big freaking deal out of a nothing burger.

The Supreme Court case Gregory vs Helvering(1935) said that you don't have to increase your taxes. Despite what liberals seem to think, Trump is entitled to every deduction, exception, etc. that is legal. As others have pointed out, Trump probably does not use TurboTax - he has an army of accountants and lawyers to go through his taxes.

Raj, do you have anything to add?

#5  If there was anything there, they would have kept it as evidence and leverage.

#4  Agree with Comments #1, #2, & #3.

Especially with number #1 and of ALL JAN. 6th committee members and their sources for the next 5 years.

#3  Laughable. Trump has no doubt, had a platoon+ of tax lawyers and accountants hovering over the returns for years.

I'm sure he sleeps quite well.
