Trumps taxes are telling us somethingby: Matt Bai
.............
The problem with Trumps tax history is that its emblematic of something larger, a missing plank at the foundation of his campaign. I suspect he knows this too, which is why he so doggedly refused to release his returns, technically defensible as they are.
Simply put, there doesnt seem to be any record anywhere of Trump having considered the public interest above his own. This isnt me ripping into the guy for being rich or bombastic; its a genuine assessment of his record as a citizen and a celebrity.
If theres some evidence of Trump having served anyone but himself, ever, for more than one night at some red carpet benefit, Id like to see it.

(45,002 posts)1. Trump has no concept of serving the public good
He apparently thinks he's running for emperor to rule over his subjects

(733 posts)4. Did he ever a PTA meeting?
Did he work with his neighbors to improve the neighborhood or the city?
Did he serve on the board of a non-profit?
Did he run for a local or state office to make NCY great again?
No experience, no interest.
