Trump On Leaked Tax Return: It’s My Job To Game The System!

Donald Trump acknowledged Monday that he had been a “big beneficiary” of America’s complex tax laws, a distinction which he said uniquely qualified him to “fix” that broken tax system.

“I understand the tax laws better than almost anyone, which is why I am one who can truly fix them,” Trump said at a campaign rally in Pueblo, Colorado. “I understand it. I get it. And that is what I commit to do. I'm working for you now," Trump said. "I'm not working for Trump."

At a campaign rally on Monday, Hillary Clinton skewered Trump’s claims of being a “genius” businessman.

“What kind of genius loses a billion dollars in a single year?” Clinton asked an enthusiastic crowd. “He's taking corporate excess and making a business model out of it. He abuses his power and games the system and puts his own interests ahead of the country. It is Trump first and every one else last.”
