Is he still able to get contractors? Obviously he doesn't stiff a lot of them.

The thing about Trump and his geniusness, is that his good brain allowed him to put himself and his business practices under the worl microscope so that now everyone is onto his schemes.

Was he able to keep contracting workers throughout his history of stiffing them? Sure, there's always contractors willing to bid.

After this dumpster fire of a campaign? probably not. There's a reason his spawn are going apeshit over his sustained campaign of smearing their name and business empire (but of course they blame the campaign staff for not properly containing daddy--they learned from daddy, after all)

A NOL isn't a tax break. If you ran a business you'd know that. If Hillary every ran anything but a "foundation" money laundering scheme, she'd know it too.

Trump paying himself to settle lawsuits through his "foundation" (which he does not even contribute to--unlike the Clintons) is not fraud?

That's interesting.

He didn't do anything more, or less, than any other person has done in a government that allows NOLs. He has no responsibility to pay more taxes. No liberal superhero does. Uncle Warren, Bill Gates, among others, are running around lecturing everybody while deferring and avoiding as much taxes as possible.

Now if you want to argue that any NOLs should be removed above a certain tax threshold, that's fine by me, we should bring it up. However, to blame him, or put the spotlight on him, is wrong.

what does Bill Gates, Buffet, among others pay yearly in taxes?

Be honest.

Please. The Clintons aren't titans of industry & finance.They haven't offshored anything. That can't be said for Mitt, Bain or any number of others.

As we've seen, job loss isn't mostly about offshoring, anyway, but more about progress & automation. Running on a surplus of labor, the sacred Job Creators have exploited that ruthlessly & basically unhindered to suppress wages since the Reagan era. Killing private sector unions has been a big part of that, as is their effort to kill public sector unions.

Poor people are nothing new. Only govt intervention in the economy has prevented more of us from being poor & prevented that life from being worse than it is.

The funniest part of this is the trump crowd denigrating poor people for not paying taxes. I guess now we know they're actually trump level genius.

Could be his 10 year old son, who is great with the Cyber. I'm sure Trump already gave Baron von shitbrains access to all of his documents ahead of his coronation as Secretary of Cyber.

His kid is really good with the Cyber, but who will oversee the Nuclear?

Are you clinically retarded? Do you honestly think this way: "Well, it's in public, NOW NO ONE CAN TALK ABOUT IT! Yay I SMURT!"

holy shit man, this is truly fucking pathetic that anyone hired you to do any job that require critical thinking.

This is what is actually going to happen in the world that you seem determined to avoid because it apparently isn't safe enough for you: Hillary is going to thrash him into a bloody pulp at the town hall event. All she has to do is bring up his tweets about the middle class not paying their fair share, about the wealthy not paying their fair share, about broken infrastructure, and just point out how he hasn't paid a dime in taxes in 20+ years.

That is now a public fact. It doesn't just simply die. Trump von dicktickle will now have to roll his flab in front of the public and address their questions which, at this event, will almost certainly focus on his qualifications as an actual businessman--$1 bill loss claimed in one year? lol--no one is that fucking awful at "business"--and question him how he expects others to pay their "fair share" when he pays no share; how he and the wealthy need more cuts when he enjoys 100% cuts.

When are you just going to sit down and accept that you have only ever been completely wrong about Trump and this empty, rotten, ambulatory turnip?

Do you have no shame? At long last--do you have no more shame?

That would be a stretch to back up that claim but we do know for a fact that trump outsources to make his products.

Once again wishful thinking trumps reality in legendkillers mind.

That's not really the point. The point is that when Amazon paid $273 million in taxes on $600 million in profits in 2015, Trump said (and I do quote), "Amazon is getting away with murder tax-wise," and that if he were elected President, "They're going to have such problems." But now we find that Trump doesn't pay any taxes himself, and "that makes me smart."
Seriously, how do you support this lying hypocritical douchebag?

I like how in the debate he said he avoided paying taxes because he was smart. It turns out he avoided paying taxes because he was an incredibly shitty businessman.

So he lost money. Wow. Nobody has ever done that.

What's hilarious is that you'll hammer him but are fine with hillary losing 6bn while in charge of the state dept. Or starting middle east wars for tens of billions or costing hundreds of billions from the migrant crisis from the wars.

If you wanna start running a ledger to see who has cost us taxpayers more we can do that.

correct. No single individual has lost $1 billion in other people's money due entirely to their own incompetence in a single year.

But he's just that smart.
