TRUMP: Millions of dollars. And you'll get to see it. And you'll get to see it.

[kpete]

WALLACE: No, Mr. President, I’m asking you a question. Will you tell us how much you paid in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017?
TRUMP: Millions of dollars.
WALLACE: So not 750?
TRUMP: Millions of dollars. And you’ll get to see it. And you’ll get to see it.

1. I paid more tax on my SS income last year than Trump paid in taxes in 2016, 2017 and 2020 combined.

But I don't figure he was that much worse than many other millionaires or billionaires. That is the sad part.

6. The attempt to repair that fault in the tax code is why "conservatives" have been chasing.....

Hunter's laptop, a very expensive goose chase. Such absurd people, they have so much money to burn yet they remain fixated in extremis on taxation.

Forewarned with that fact it should come as no surprise that those are the people who control >90% of the nation's wealth.

3. That's an incredible clip, I'm reading Trump as an abusive personality there

4. He's a fucking monster

I loved when Biden said that he was the worst president America has ever had

13. This story makes me retch as it combines the failure of the media with failure of tax fairness.

[malaise]

16. Well the media is owned by the billionaire club and sadly the politicians are

responsible for that.

5. we'd...

...have plenty of money if these rich bastards could be made to pay their fair share...

...but as long as we have a political and tax system designed by millionaires and billionaires to be gamed by millionaires and billionaires nothing will change...

...from weak social programs to deficits to the controlling of our elections and democracy, when are we going to learn huge amounts of wealth in a very few hands is toxic, detrimental to society and will eventually destroy a democracy...?

...I'm holding my breathe...

7. Those who have the gold make the rules.

8. Well said myohmy

Just like the history of feudalism, the history of capitalism is about taking away more and more from the average person. Taking away the right to even pickup a dead stick off the ground in feudalism to taking away the right to alter the phone you bought in capitalism. It caused feudalism to collapse and riots to break out.

9. "And all of those loans are under-leveraged....

because all the investments are just that good".

They're "just that good", huh? Is that why you kept claiming gigantic operating losses every year, because those investments were, "just that good"? 🤔

Everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie! He is definitely the template George Santos (if indeed that's his actual name) used to create his life story.

10. Maybe the system isn't working.

Think?

[Alexander Of Assyria]

12. Yes, American corporate media is not working, not protecting democracy or the truth...where was

the follow up by this network in example in the …you will get to see them con?! They forgot all about it!

[Fritz Walter]

11. Maybe TFG was referring to...

...the total amount of taxes he paid to China those years.

[gratuitous]

14. I thought of that

But Wallace was very clear in asking specifically about federal income tax, so that dodge won't quite wash. Not to say that the former guy won't try it; lying comes as easily as breathing for that fucker.

[malaise]

17. Yes he was - watch the YouTube link at #2

[calimary]

15. Keep on talking, donald...

Cuz some idiot out there is gonna buy it.

Unfortunately for the rest of us.

[LPBBEAR]

18. Actually....

over that period from 2015 to 2020 he paid zero income tax. We paid him. When you average all they years together including the refund he received in 2020 we paid him over 3 million dollars.

Must be nice to be able to appoint your buddies to run the IRS.

My guess is the years before 2015 aren't much different.
