Surfer 1,547 Posted September 28, 2020 What are you trying to say Jools? Did you read the bit where the NYT matched expenses / income statements to show the Trump Org probably paid a Ms Ivanka Trump $715,000 as a consultant so they could reduce corporate taxes, despite her being an executive of the same company? If it’s true, that’s illegal. And the President personally guaranteed $400 million in loans due by end 2022, none to US banks who have not financed him for years. If he’s not paying federal taxes because all his companies are losing money, how will he pay those overseas bank loans back? And why is Deutsche Bank being so lenient with him? A bet deep down you want to know, unless you already do and don’t want to admit it .... eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted September 28, 2020 Jools and his Fools are only doing it because we expect them to. They have no defence. The schmoes seem to think Trump=Johnson and Biden=Corbyn. That shows their level of understanding. Still too many US citizens will say so what if he doesn't pay taxes. Thank goodness we live in a nation that thinks an MP fiddling a few bob on their expenses should face the gallows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surfer 1,547 Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) In the debate tomorrow, I'm sure Biden will bring up the tax issue - but the critical one is not the $750 personal income tax paid; it's to whom does Trump owe $400m? If it is domestic lenders what special favors are they expecting to receive from him? If it is Deutsche Bank, who is covering the loan? Their commercial group turned him down. It was the personal banking group that put together the loan package. Why? The personal banker at Deutsche Bank who arranged the loans was the son of Supreme Court judge Kennedy - who retired last year which allowed Kavanaugh to join the SC. The other attack will be on the tax bill passed two years ago. One of the reasons for the $750 payment is all the sweetheart deals in the tax code to benefit the rich, so it may be "smart" to avoid taxes if you can, but it's morally bankrupt and it reflects badly on the entire Republican legislative approach to "fairness" and "equal opportunity".

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted September 28, 2020 Then, in an attempt to deflect attention with a manufactured controversy, the president tweeted about the debate: “Joe Biden just announced that he will not agree to a Drug Test. Gee, I wonder why?” There is no evidence that Biden is taking drugs. Kate Bedingfield, Biden’s deputy campaign manager, has responded to such claims in unusually blunt terms by stating: “Vice President Biden intends to deliver his debate answers in words. If the president thinks his best case is made in urine he can have at it. We’d expect nothing less from Donald Trump, who pissed away the chance to protect the lives of 200K Americans when he didn’t make a plan to stop Covid-19.” 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
