Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Exactly and since he's not in Lewisboro we can presume that The IRS signed off on either full deduction or they disallowed some of the deduction.

 

True, but I think it's unlikely that whoever leaked the '95 return wouldn't have let the world know about that as well.

 

Possible which could mean that he actually had to pay taxes in subsequent years because he
not have the 900 mil NOL. All perfectly legal though and part of the process.

 

This whole tax story highlights in spades the bias and intellectual dishonesty of the
national MS media.

 

Whoever leaked to the NYT didn't even have his federal return from that year.

A good 99.7 percent of all of this is still pure speculation.

 

The reaction is driven in immense part by the way that the New York Times played the story, on a Sunday.

 

That's right, forgot that. And you're right about how much of this is speculation.

A guy whose work/positions I respect a lot had this to say about L'Affaire TrumpTax ...

The Grumpy Economist: Trump Taxes

 

Yes it started with The Times but the rest of the MSM jumped on it real fast almost as if
they knew it was coming. And nowhere did I see any context or pullback to Times conjecture.

 

Didn't Harold Ford keep calling it "speculation" on "Morning Joe"?

 

The Times publishes Trumps personal tax return without permission and everyone is mad
at Yahoo for letting the Feds read Email that was probably mostly about fantasy sports.

 

I gave up on Morning Joe months ago . They lost their way. But it would not surprise me
about Ford. He does seem to have some intellectual honesty.

 

Morning Blowjob has already driven off 95% of the previous "liberal" MSNBC audience with Scarborough's shameless Hannity/O'Reilly Jr. Faux Fascist Noise right wing wannabe schtick. They've got nothing left.
