Desert_FoxParticipantWe should be surprised? Not really, not after this host of business failures, not just his bankruptcies but the businesses that crashed and burned without going into bankruptcy. The man is a business disaster.

May 7, 2019 at 21:14 #14861CapricornKeymasterTrump Used the Same Tax Breaks as Amazon to Drastically Reduce His Own IRS Bill
President Donald Trump complains that large corporations, such as Amazon.com Inc., are shirking their tax responsibilities. Yet for at least a decade, Trump paid none or very little in federal income taxes by exploiting some of the same generous tax breaks that the online retail giant and others have used to reduce IRS bills.
Trump’s businesses generated huge losses, and his hotel and casino properties were eligible for large depreciation write-offs that meant he paid taxes for only two years between 1985 and 1994, according to tax records obtained by the New York Times. Trump, then a real estate developer, racked up $1.17 billion worth of losses in that time, according to the documents.
As his interest in running for president grew, Trump complained that corporate America isn’t paying enough in taxes. He first tweeted in 2015 “if @amazon ever had to pay fair taxes, its stock would crash and it would crumble like a paper bag.” Since then, he’s sent at least a dozen tweets critical of how little the company pays in taxes.
Trump used parts of the U.S. tax code to whittle down his tax bill to nothing for several years, the same sections that Amazon has used to pay no federal income taxes for the past two years.

He’d rather be known as a tax cheat than the giant loser that he is.
Being a giant loser isn’t a crime. Being a tax cheat is. LockHimUp.
