Harry Reid mocks Trump tax leaks: ‘Racist incompetent failure managed to lose a billion dollars’

Outgoing Senate Minority leader Harry Reid had a few things to say on Sunday about reports that GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump lost $915 million dollars in 1995. None of them were nice.

The Nevada Democrat, who is winding down his career in the Senate, issued a statement on Sunday that will likely get under the skin of the supposed billionaire who saw the New York Times expose a very bad year in the form of income tax documents that indicate he’s not a very good businessman.

According to Reid’s statement: “Trump is a billion-dollar loser who won’t release his taxes because they’ll expose him as a spoiled, rich brat who lost the millions he inherited from his father. Despite losing a billion dollars, Trump wants to reward himself with more tax breaks on inherited wealth while stiffing middle-class families who earn their paychecks with hard work.”

“Trump is over-leveraged and deeply indebted to someone, but until he releases his taxes we won’t know who,” the statement continues. “Let’s step back and take stock: Senate Republicans have put party so far ahead of country, they’ve endorsed a racist, incompetent failure who managed to lose a billion dollars in a boom year. Now they are helping Trump hide his tax returns and preventing the American people from knowing what individuals, businesses or foreign interests could have leverage over Trump.”

3. And with his thin skin, Trump is a billion dollar baby!

4. Odds are Donnie will be tweeting up a storm at Harry Reid tonight.

"Racist incompetent failure". That's gotta sting!

[treestar]

5. you can bet on that

Trumplethinskin!

14. I hope Donny stays up all night tweeting

We should plan this out so that a different person attacks him every day so he gets no sleep up until the election. It would drive him bonkers. Or even more than he already is.

[SummerSnow]

6. I'm just wild about Harry.

[BlueStater]

7. I love how unfiltered Harry has become.

Leaving politics must be like removing several heavy weights that have been chained to his body for 40-something years.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

8. I'm waiting for Trump to say he didn't REALLY lose it and thus confess to tax fraud.

9. Statute of limitations may have run out for criminal charges

They still might be able to go after him for money owed.

10. Do people really think

That he will change the tax code?
Why would he when he and his friends benefit from it?
He has declared bankruptcy how many times?
How many vendors has he cheated?
I pay my taxes, why doesn't he?
Are people really that stupid?

11. Give 'em Hell, Harry! nt

[George II]

12. After he retires, can the Senate Democrats bring him back as a guest speaker? He's great!

[bucolic_frolic]

13. Harry has been very soft-spoken in his Senate career

He really does have intellect

His statement here is the absolute crux of the problem

That's the Republicans, though, everything done in secret, dirty little deals
to help themselves and some bones thrown out in public to placate and confuse
the people affected by their subterfuge

15. This Understates Trump's Screwing Working Class Americans

What the NYT exposed was from a single Trump enterprise bankruptcy and it is a whopping $916 Billion. How big is the tax break for his other 3 bankruptcies? They could easily add up to another $300 million and if that is the case the number of years Trump paid no federal income taxes would almost certainly be over 20 years. This is just the tip of the iceberg regarding Trump's taxes so stay tuned.

16. Tee hee! Give 'im exactly what he deserves, Harry!
