Donald Trump On Tax Loophole: I Absolutely Used It | CNBC

"and with that, a star was born" -Dave Chappelle

[azzuri]

This question backfired lol. His answer strengthened his position

[rlycervano]

"Of course, I do. Of course, I do"

That absolute confidence & bravado he said those words with no hesitation at all

Now I understand better what Dave Chappelle said in his show

[kommisar.]

I couldn't think of a better answer than what he gave here. No wonder he won.

[villll]

the way he answered this was perfect, not a fan but damn he completely turned a hard question into ammunition against her in a very clear an concise way. Whether or not it’s true it’s perfect from a political perspective

[kyrectx]

here after the dave chappelle monologue

[waleedkhan]

Who else came here after watching Dave Chapelle's SNL 2022 monologue?

[WadeWilson-]

If you're paying a whole lot of taxes of course you'll try to avoid it.

As a CPA, I hate the term “tax loophole”, it implies that someone is circumventing tax law through some clever deceptive trick. “Loopholes”, in this sense of the term, literally do not exist in the tax code. There are explicitly written tax rules that might be heavily favored towards wealthy people who were able to lobby for those rules. That does not make those rules loopholes. If you have an issue with that, then you have an issue with the tax law, not the person who is legally exercising their right to take advantage of that tax law as it is written.

this is the bit dave chappelle talked about. damn 😂

Dave Chapelle’s opening monologue on Saturday night live brought me here

[SonnyJim]

I became very interested in what Trump had to say after this and the first 3 years he was in office hands down was the most financially stable I've ever been

[SamJohnsonAZ]

After running my own business for years I completely agree. The fact of the matter is: when you work for someone else you have zero right offs, because you’re being handed checks. The second you own a business you’re able right off basically anything legally. I bought a new computer, so I now don’t have to pay $1000 in taxes cuz I use for my business too. Many many more examples I can give

[johnhussain]

Hypocrites all of them.. who wouldn’t use loopholes if they are offered. Use your brains people he’s a businessman. He was right- not paying taxes did make him smarter then the rest

[AmArtGraphics]

Not a fan of the guy but this was brutal.

[jamesmoore]

Watching Dave Chappelle SNL skit about trump stardom is hilarious

[DGRB]

When dumb questions get smart answers.

[xenulus]

Good luck to the USA on getting a leader this transparent and honest ever again. Morons prefer a knife in the back and lies through a sweet smile over honesty and say-it-like-it-is roughness.

[inconsistentinternetvideos]

In hindsight, the debates are the main reason he won

[TheLZempir]

This is the Trump that could have won over Biden. Idk what happened to him at the debates, but he should have just shut up and let Biden talk.
