Donald J. Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency. In his first year in the White House, he paid another $750.
He had paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years largely because he reported losing much more money than he made.
As the president wages a re-election campaign that polls say he is in danger of losing, his finances are under stress, beset by losses and hundreds of millions of dollars in debt coming due that he has personally guaranteed. Also hanging over him is a decade-long audit battle with the Internal Revenue Service over the legitimacy of a $72.9 million tax refund that he claimed, and received, after declaring huge losses. An adverse ruling could cost him more than $100 million.

The only way this is a good time to drop this story is if they have something just as big or bigger to drop the week before the election.

Besides a lot of folks have already voted and a huge lot of folks will have voted by the time of a traditional October surprise.

he has to have undeclared money coming in from somewhere. Or I suppose maybe that's where those Deutsche Bank "loans" come in.
