You guys are missing the main part of the story. Trump did pay his taxes. He didn't make anything. It's not that he is a cheat. He is a failure. He could have done more with his father's money by leaving it in the bank.
Trump's only skills are being born with a grand slam and convincing some people that the fact that he has only struck out 5 times is amazing
I don't know if there is one main part of the story that overrides all others, but I would agree that he's obviously a terrible businessman. If he could just do the licensing and owning minority interests in buildings managed by competent people like Vornado, he would do just fine, but he can't help but run all these other terrible businesses on his own into the ground. The licensing is a business he built on his own based on his projected image, so I give him some credit for that, but it's really just a legal grift. Everything with him is smoke and mirrors and no amount of misconduct or failure would surprise me. I guess I would be surprised if he is just a failure who did everything by the book and didn't also cheat on his taxes among other things.
I wouldn't be surprised if he backs out of the debate tomorrow so that he can create a new scandal to distract from his tax scandal before the next debate.
Good thread, showing how he has over $1B in debt, personally guaranteed. I can't see how it's good for our country to have POTUS deeply indebted to any number of private individuals with interests that don't exactly align with our country's.
