How much did Trump pay in taxes to support that strong military he's going to build?

[Honeycombe8]

I find it ironic and very disturbing that the public lets Trump get away with standing at the presser & talking about the "greatest" military he's going to build, that he inherited a "mess," when he paid ZERO in taxes to support all these things he wants to do: a bigger military, new equipment, an infrastructure program, the wall costing billions, millions to set him up in Trump Tower for transportation and setting up the Secret Service on an entire floor of the Trump Tower, beefing up the deportations, and all the rest.

If these things are so important, why didn't he pay taxes to support them? To support his country?

It's disgusting. They're going to try to cut Social Security, Medicare, the mortgage deduction that middle class people get, the insurance "reform" program, and a YUGE tax cut program for the wealthiest, all for the sake of the economy. Yet HE pays ZERO in taxes.

So I get my Social Security and Medicare cut, possibly, so that paltry sum (to them) can go into the pot to pay for these programs that Trump didn't contribute to, and to pay for Trump's unreasonable transportation and housing demands?

Something's wrong with this picture.

2. the republican draft-dodger-in-chief paid not a freaking penny

While the republicans may blithely excuse their "family-values" role model's example of shitty citizenship, all honest, hard-working Americans who do pay their taxes think that the royal republican tax ripoff is unpatriotic, unbiblical, and generally sucks out loud.

3. America's military is already obscenely huge, a great drag on the debt and economy.

And it should be even more huge? $600 billion a year, year after year. Insanity.

4. ABC reporter Bob Woodruff....

ABC reporter Bob Woodruff sustained serious injuries while in Iraq. I think it was on Veterans Day last November that he narrated a TV show on PBS about the effort to provide medical care to troops injured in Iraq. This care requires a tremendous amount of money to bring about.

Trump was providing none of the support for that care. Not a penny. Zero.

5. He said, "I don't pay! I don't pay! You pay!"

Or something similar to that, anyway.
