For all of the people who said things like “he’s just a businessman who takes advantage of loopholes,” stuff like treating a personal residence like an investment property is illegal, not a “loophole.”
Trump got a $21 million tax break for saving the forest outside his N.Y. mansion. Now the deal is under investigation

It is the IRS job to look into the big outliers but they go after hard working people with legitimate deductions. Should be an investigation in the IRS, just the same for the FBI.
If we can't trust our govt institutions and IRS & FBI are the two that hold the most power - this is where you see the distrust.
Why go after Martha Stewart and not Trump?
Women are frequently scapegoated. And going after the woman who had a reputation as someone with impeccable taste and multiple homes, someone famous everyone could focus on and not think about all the people who had actually ripped us all off?
Also, the orange traitor has the force of the fascist government behind him.

More evidence that Trump isn't rich, he's a clown living on credit. Swindler, scofflaw, serial pathological liar.

Haircuts can’t be deducted as a business expense because you still have the haircut when you’re done working and you go out on a date or home to sleep. It’s impossible for it to be exclusively for business. If it was, every soldier, sailor, airman and marine should be able to deduct the cost of their EMPLOYER-REQUIRED haircuts.
I’m not a Trump fan, but I could see the argument being the hair is the brand, therefore allowed.
That would mean he can also deduct his orange foundation!

You may argue it as much as you like, it is not the law and his accountant surely told him that.
