Donald Trump, 2015. First sentence of the 2nd paragraph is interesting.

THE big lesson that shoould be taken from this is Mr. "Populist friend of the working man screwed over by the system" doesn't believe this statement one iota. Quite the opposite actually.

Second is he's actually a crappy businessman.

1) I guess you've never heard of the book "The Art of the Comeback." Trump is neither the first nor the last developer to run into issues during an economic downturn.

2) Is Warren Buffett a "crappy businessman?" He lost $2 billion on Wells Fargo last week.

3) Anyone on here want to take a guess who signed the loophole Trump allegedly took advantage of into law?

1) 1995 being "the downturn"?!? Are you lying, high, or stupid? There is no option D

2) How much do you think he'll "lose" this year? Hint: he's actually competent and truly believes the tax structure is screwing secretaries while serving their bosses.

3) Hor$e$hit. Remember that upper income, budget balancing tax icreases is why right wing jhihadists like you loathe the Clintons?

It's clear this is Trump's doing.

The way he avoided paying taxes is a loophole used by NYT used in 2014, and Hillary also and was a loophole that was put in by Bill to help his rich banker friends.

If anything, the complete leaking of NYT not paying taxes in 2014 straight afterwards by Forbes really proves it was a play by Trump.

Oh God. Not another one.

Perhaps the real issue here is Trump has for decades consistently lived the most garishly over the top lavish lifestyle of literally anyone in the country. His gold plated toilet lifestyle would've made the most corrupt and hedonistic Roman Senator blush. And yet he loses a billion dollars in one year while the economy is doing stupendous, yet it has no discernible impact on his uber-playboy lifestyle whatsoever (judge for yourself whether "his" losses were "other people's money" as he brazenly brags of playing with and blowing), and he likely avoids federal taxes for the next 20 years.

NOW he tells voters "I'm on your side" in curing the "problem"? As if anyone with an IQ above 3 thinks he really believes this is actually "a problem"? Is there one iota of anything Trump has ever said or done in his life, let alone his campaign, that indicates he'll support any measure that reduces his net worth by a single penny?
