This tweet, made back in 2016 is looking to be absolutely precient:
There is always a tweet… And for a president who we now know has paid no taxes for the last decade, this one seems about right:
The Trump taxes are interesting because the taxes ARE. WHAT. TRUMP. HIMSELF. REPORTED. to the IRS.
If he denies the content of these tax returns, then he is acknowledging that he lied to the IRS.
When I filled out my clearance forms, it was made clear to me that if I had significant debt, that could prevent me from obtaining a clearance.
But Jared, Ivanka, and Trump himself were and are in debt so massive that it presents a real problem... i.e. Russian investment.
And remember: While these taxes are reported by Trump to the IRS, we still don’t know where all the money came from to invest in properties.
Personally guaranteed loans don’t cover the investments required to purchase all his properties.
The other shoe has yet to drop...
Trump lawyers are already trying to say that these documents prove no Russian investment.
There are over 500 shell companies owned wholly by Trump.
If laundering money, you are not gonna report the source. That defeats the concept of laundering.
P.S., it ain’t really losing money if you are laundering it for someone else...
It’s hard to imagine how one could go 20 years, losing money pretty much every year in any traditional business sense, and still manage to acquire properties...
