Wonder if PP ever heard of EBIDTA?

We know Trump family creates fake expenses and inflated depreciation deductions out of thin air. The NYTs exposed all of this with Fred Trump’s estate, but the statute of limitations has passed. Does anyone really believe Trump’s deductions are legit? They are multitudes higher than other individuals at the same income level.

For those of you paying attention, that's called "underrporting income to the IRS."

My idiot stepfather who never made more than the high 5 figures went to federal prison for 18 months for that. And I'm guessing he underreported his income by a bit less than Trump did.

That’s the sad thing about the IRS. They go after lower income tax fraud/avoidance but they don’t have the resources to put away the people who do it in a big way like Trump

Exactly. It amazes me how low the NYT has fallen.

Then demand the "real" taxes from the president to demonstrate that this is fake news. Otherwise, there is no way the NY Times would open itself up to the liability for such an article if it weren't true.

I'm sure he'll be suing the NYT for libel any minute now...

No, he won't. Why? He'll open himself up to Discovery and the NYT's attorneys will gain access to his financial documents and tax returns. Why? Because truth is an absolute defene to libel.

+1 This happens every other month. Someone prints something negative about Trump. Trump yells fake news and whines that it’s untrue and that he will sue. And then he doesn’t because it’s all true (or the truth is worse than what has been printed.

If anyone thinks Trumps supporters will care about this they are mistaken.

But did he actually break any laws over the taxes? I thought people were expecting tax fraud? So far there isn't any that I can tell.

Did you was the whole article?

Yes. And there's nothing to show he broke laws.

I thought the tax returns were supposed to show stuff that he'd go to prison for. Maybe I was wrong. But so far nothing we've seen shows Trump breaking laws. He did file his returns, he didn't commit tax fraud.

Time to wake up. Actually I feel sorry for you.

I don't think you read the article. The consulting fees paid to Ivanka, a Trump employee, were made to reduce and deflate his income? Tax fraud. Falsely declaring a private residence as a business investment? Tax fraud. There's more but those are some easy examples that jumped out. Also the nearly $79 million tax refund seems to have been based on lies. Tax fraud.

Yes, let’s direct this to 18:11, who is currently shitting into his hand and throwing it at the thread.

Ah yes, flinging poo, the time-honored chimpanzee fighting tradition.

Yeah PP, be sure to deduct $750 from that amount.
