5 well known Websites have Trump Tax avoidance at the very top

At 6 am eastern time, The New York Times, Washington Post, Huff Post, USA Today, and Yahoo, all these sites, have this story at the very top. All have these words or words very similar...He could have avoided paying income taxes for 20 years......

Now, how would most of the people in this country respond to that?...
I believe most of us would not like that..

This will be the big story of today,a Sunday ,when people check the news..and many watch the news shows..

By the end of today, this will be the lead story everywhere in the USA..

...Donald is Done..good by, farewell, See you later alligator, Deadbeat Don. ............by by..

1. Donald is now in the position of being forced to release the tax returns to prove otherwise

if he continues to stone wall, well, the conclusion is obvious.

I saw in a report in The Guardian that Donald is now really projecting, having said at a campaign rally last night Hillary may actually be crazy!

He said of her “she has bad temperament, she could actually be crazy”

3. The speculation is not wrong, it's inconceivable for him not to take this tax break.

And that's why I think it's doubtful that he'll release his tax returns, because his fall back is always FUD, conspiracies, MSM out to get him. we're talking a decade and a half without paying taxes, and another few years under The Apprentice simply paying paying mediocre taxes on his salary.

7. So Cheetoe Man lost almost a billion dollars

during a period of our economy was rip roaring along (aw, the 90s, thanks President Clinton). My understanding is the lost can be carried forward to offset any gains. Hasn't paid any tax for 18 years? So does this mean he has had no gains or really successful years that are in excess of the carry forward? He's a bigger failure than ever imagined.
