In reply to the discussion: The argument I'm getting re his taxes HELP! [View all]Bad Thoughts
(2,522 posts)21. Trump is a security risk and a poor businessman
His accumulated debt disqualifies him in security and military affairs. He is capable of being manipulated by foreign powers. He has made numerous questionable and suspicious security decisions, especially abandoning anti-ISIS allies in Syria and not confronting Putin on bounties on American soldiers.
He is poor at making economic decisions. Even in the midst of the pandemic, he mismanaged the supply of protective wear for both medical professionals and population. He was unwilling to secure the nation's food supply. His tax policies weakened the ability of the government to respond to the economic hardships of the pandemic. His poor staffing choices have made government slower to act.

If he's still on the fence by now, he's voting for Trump but just can't admit it to anyone.

Most of that is true, except for the rich part. But trump is still a conman and loser.

If they were just legal loopholes, every billionaire would be paying only $750 in income taxes.
