In 2016 trump paid 175x more to a porn star than he did to the government. Who the fuck still supports this guy? Assholes, thats who.
- which makes a porn star more savvy than the government :)renderedred
- The government didn't have to be very savvy to enforce its most basic laws.CyBrainX

If the NYT really does have decades of Trump tax documents, and it's true they legally obtained them, then why are they not releasing them? I assume it's because there are legal reasons why they can't distribute his personal information, but if that's true, then why are they allowed to "report" on the report highlights at all?
In this day and age, especially with Trump, accusations and reports aren't enough. Show us the goods, NYT, and do the right thing.
- Protecting the source. And yes, due diligence.fadein11
- If they were soured legally, would the source need protecting? It's not whistleblowing exactly, as I understand it.monospaced
- Why are you questioning that they really have the docs? You think NYT would make it up?yuekit
- if they were legally obtained who's there to protect?renderedred
- The documents were almost certainly not legally leaked. But it's not illegal for journalists to write about something simply because of that.yuekit
- nope guess not, I imagine it's a legal minefield releasing personal financial info in detail. it's kind of an overview? But yes, the gravy would be nice.fadein11
- Remember Wikileaks and Hillary Clinton's emails? NYT covered all of that.yuekit
- If they are incorrect why Trump wouldn’t release the “correct” version then?zaq
- I'm just not convinced a couple of single-line bites like "he paid $750 one year" is enough to do any damage. There has to be proof.monospaced
- I'm not saying they don't have the docs, yuekit. I'm saying they need to show them in order for the public to be swayed.monospaced
- The NYT claims they were legally obtained. Are you implying they were illegally obtained and are now lying? I'm confused.monospaced
- I don't think anyone is really questioning it, even Trump himself seems to acknowledge it's real.yuekit
- I'm not questioning if it's real either, dude. But Trump cocksuckers will. :)monospaced
- There's no way someone's tax records could be legally given to a newspaper. The reality is that people break the law all the time to leak stories.yuekit
- The documents themselves probably have some identifying info that would give away the source of the leak.yuekit
- I agree and that's precisely why I am perplexed by their claim they were legally obtained. I fear this will die in the water :(monospaced
- Simply claiming you have something, these days, is not enough. Not for the bobos out there, at least.monospaced
- I don't see where they claimed that. In fact it says "We are not making the records themselves public because we do not want to jeopardize our sources, who haveyuekit
- sources, who have taken enormous personal risks to help inform the public."yuekit
- Hmm, the article I read yesterday said they claimed they were legally obtained. I will see if I can find it. I'm more than happy to be wrong :)monospaced
- "...but this appears to be the most detailed collection of data about his finances. The Times said all the records were legally obtained."monospaced
- https://www.marketwa…monospaced
- I think what they mean is that it's legal for the paper to publish the docs. There are certain situations where it might not be, like if they literally hackedyuekit
- into the IRS or something lol. Whereas if someone handed it off to them with no involvement by the NYT, that counts as being legally obtained.yuekit
- I assume that's the case in order for them to be releasing it and claiming legal adherence at the same time.monospaced
- Haha mono gets it. Seeing a bit past the veil where it's all show and no substance********

Okay, so I asked my friend who is a reporter. They said that because the AG has a case against Trump in NY right now, and because that involved his tax returns, that information is now obtainable by reporters. Legally.
- And yes, it's a legal nightmare figuring out what can be shared. Interesting times for sure. And of course, ALL Trump has to do is prove they're wrong with infomonospaced
- AG?Nairn
- Attorney General. Fuck's sake, why's it as soon as I submit a post the answer pops into mind?Nairn
- So presuming it's obtainable by reporters who don't have any particular professional distinction compared to Norms (right?), then every cunt should have access?Nairn
- it's surely about legal implications of those he has done business with, I imagine the docs are a fucking spider web. A little risky implicating others no?fadein11
- I can only imagine the treasure trove of illegal transactions that the AG is assembling against Trump, I can't wait for the guillotine to drop on him.utopian
- The press is privilege to more info than everyday citizens i guess. Also held to different standards and responsibilities in relation to holding certain info.monospaced
- I don’t claim to know any of the details. I just don’t see it going anywhere without a full on leak of hard data.monospaced
- I agree monofadein11

A President in deep debt is a national security concern to say the least.
- it's ok he gets paid in Rubles_niko
- You wonder why Trump is always reluctant to say anything negative about Russia.utopian
- And if Biden wants to dominate in the debate tomorrow, he will demand Trump says to whom he owes so much money.Continuity
- Absolutely. And #PeePeeTapeBusterBoy
- What is debt when it's backed by securities worth more? Take elon musk. Said in courts he has little money. All his money is loans backed against shares********
- It's sad. But these people also grow jobs and help economy and politicians typically look other way hanging on coattails********
- Fake jobs. But jobs that can't happen without cheap money and gov I centives********
- You don't KNOW what is backing Trump's debt, because he won't release his taxes or financials.monospaced
- What securities is he holding that are worth so much? Please tell, because we know you're full of shit.monospaced
- He doesn't own any publicly traded companies. The only one he did went bankrupt and he was ousted.monospaced

'And we still don’t know to whom he owes the money.
This fact has frightening implications for public policy and national security. Even minor debts are a frequent reason for the government to deny a security clearance, for the obvious reason that indebted and financially desperate public servants make easy marks for bribery, blackmail and potential treason. The potentially destructive power of that sort of hold on a President of the United States is beyond comprehension.'

I'd rather fancy some poutine.Continuity - It's really not news. He has connections to Russia going back 30 years. His moronic son said all their money was from Russia in 2014 interview, too.formed

Ironic that his supporters have been whining about half the population not paying income taxes...wonder what they'll say now.
Also can't wait for the defense of his business acumen...this is going to get amusing.
- How much did he pay in property and payroll etc?********
- Get Amazon's and tesla who get 20 year deferrals on taxes********
- Media isn't really be objective. I expect this won't work well for Biden unless mod tries to shit it down and still go bad********

I really hope he has suffered terrible from horrible, stress filled sleepless nights for years without any relief in sight.
