Trump's answer to tax questions at tonight's debate: "Hoax." "Fake news."

Do you really believe the orange horror will say anything other than that?

"Hoax." "Fake news," deflects everything. He can eat a live baby during the debate and when asked why he did that, his answer will be "Hoax." "Fake news." And his voters will believe him even though they watched him eat a live baby.

We are living in a sick era in which many believe what they are told rather than what they witness. Perhaps it has always been thus, but it has never been this obvious.

His voters are about 1/3 of the population, and if this percentage were to be extended, perhaps a third of humanity can be taken in by anything, anytime.

A vast majority of Americans must call out this snake oil salesman, vote him out of office by a huge majority, and then hold him answerable for his crimes against humanity (kidnapping children, cages, etc.).

This beast cannot be allowed to escape justice. If he does, how long before another, smarter monster comes along?

Your finances. They don't give Pulitzers for fake news...good chance they'll get another Pulitzer for exposing the facts this time, too.

I'm thinking Trump will use the "blame someone else strategy". He will claim that it's the fault of the tax system for allowing so many loopholes and ways for him to avoid taxes. He'll claim that paying little to no tax only means he's smart.

Funny how guys like Trump that pay little to no tax always want to reduce taxes for corporations, claiming they hurt the economy.

Maybe he can throw in, "it's rigged", and a couple of "that's a nasty question". Mostly Trump will just brag about something he thinks makes him look good rather than answer the specific question.
