TRUMP'S TAX RETURNS FINALLY RELEASED, What's In Them

"Six years of Donald Trump’s federal tax returns released on Friday show the former president paid very little in federal income taxes the first and last year of his presidency, claiming huge losses that helped limit his tax bill, among other revelations.

The returns, long shrouded in secrecy, were released to the public on Friday by the House Ways and Means Committee, the culmination of a battle over their disclosure that went to the Supreme Court. They confirm a report issued from the Joint Committee on Taxation that Trump claimed large losses before and throughout his presidency that he carried forward to reduce or practically eliminate his tax burden. For example, his returns show that he carried forward a $105 million loss in 2015 and $73 million in 2016.

The thousands of pages of documents from the former president’s personal and business federal tax returns – which spanned the years 2015 through 2020 – provide a complex web of raw data about Trump’s finances, offering up many questions about his wealth and income that could be pursued both by auditors and Trump’s political opponents."*

The emperor has no clothes and no money.

[CalvAnon]

So who in the IRS signed off on Trump’s taxes? Isn’t that the focus that ALL media should be asking and pressuring the IRS to answer?

[jadedunicorn]

So you’re telling me that my parents in 2018 had to pay over 10, 000 in taxes but this rich orange only paid 750 dollars? Bruuuuh these rich people don’t pay crap in taxes

[amandab]

Little taxes paid to the United States. Over $200, 000 to China. Amazing how slippery this guy is.

[loriann]

Sounds like people need to get fired from the IRS

[marymoore]

Al Capone did time for....tax evasion.

[ronnipickett]

If he had to pay a dollar for each lie he would not have any dollars left.

[SmilingIbis]

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that someone with over 500 LLCs is basically engaged in an elaborate money laundering enterprise? Maybe someone should look into that.

[woodlandgangsta]

Trump claimed Adderall as a dependent on his taxes 🤣

[MrBobert]

His whole "I pay millions" in taxes lie, is crashing down on him hard. He's probably having the worst sleepless nights of his life! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[philiplombardo]

Right off the bat during the debate he lied, not just about his taxes but everything else.

[loriness]

Shocking 🙄 Will he ever be held accountable for anything???

[Above-Ground]

In 2017, *the Leader of the Coup* claimed his business DJT Aerospace, which operates his aircraft, claimed $42, 965 in income.
It also claimed the exact same amount – $42, 965 – in expenses. In other words, every single dollar – to the dollar –
that the company earned was negated by the company’s expenses, such as payroll, fuel and other items. That left the company with zero income. Uh huh...

[natehamon]

Most of his base probably think a billion is 1 million more than a million.

[davidbatin]

Why do they call it tax return if he didn't return any tax?

[spaceengineer]

In my country, Australia it’s illegal to not pay your taxes. It’s a criminal offence. People go to jail. In the USA rich people who can afford to pay their taxes are free to cheat and lie.

[sinceresplash]

I'm a New Yorker, only ppl that actually believed him are ppl in every other state in the USA. He's a liar in every aspect imaginable.

[Petethehun]

If I paid no taxes, it means I made no income. If the Trumpster paid no taxes, it means he’s a smart business man. LOL

[wdfkTV]

Right on, if you think Trump isn't lying, you're not looking at his lips.

[D.D.D.L.]

One of those years he paid 750$ to the US and China 220, 000$ that same year.... Let that sink in
