Eh, I couldn't think of a better analogy. Here's one: "But 4D chess? Really? Having something like this, which defuses one of the ongoing negative rumors one has, and waiting until long after the election to release it? That's like Nintendo having the perfect hot-ticket exclusive title that everyone wants for the WiiU ready at launch, then waiting until yesterday to release it."

Also, here's another fun thing from the document: apparently, if we got rid of the Alternative Minimum Tax, Trump would have paid not 24%, but 3.5% of his income in taxes. Now guess which tax Trump wants to eliminate.

The AMT is kinda shit though because originally it was targeted at the super wealthy but now it also targets the upper middle class. Trump also hasn't told us any details about how he will handle the $30b deficit once he abolishes AMT. Wait and see.

Also David Brock (CTR/ShareBlue) is going all out lol. I like how he writes "legally obtained" because actually he's inciting people to commit a crime as there is no way someone could obtain Trump's tax returns legally.



Also from the category "Tweets that haven't aged well":

So, the failed businessman paid a ton of taxes, it turns out. What a scoop the demorat propaganda machine got there :)

E:
Lmao, watching some vids on the tax thing... The tax documents "showed up" in the investigative journalist mailbox... hahahaha!! :D oh.. but surely, MSNBC cashed in big on all the salivating watchers they kept in suspense over this non-news :)

ITT Germans don't understand US tax filing deadlines.

He wont because he got to hide his russian money. Lol. Do you think he cares about his 2005 taxes when he didnt think about running for president? Tell me why he is so adamantly hiding his 2016 tax returns? Why is he lying about the audit affecting his ability to release his tax returns when that is clearly a lie?

Something tells me 8 years from now libs will still be yelling "muh Russia" while parting President Trump shakes the hand of his successor Rand Paul.

I guess it depends how you define failed businessman, good businessman, bad businessman. And was 'failed' actually thrown about? Bad, crooked, shady, yeah.

Does the amount of bankruptcies matter?
Does the legality matter?
Do the bailouts and gifts matter?
Do name and relations matter?

Let's not forget, it's highly likely that any person could have been left/given the money Trump was, worked completely on the right side of the law and ethics, been massively generous to charities, not ripped off anyone else, not filed bankruptcy once and been way wealthier than Trump likely is. Which we don't know, because he won't prove his wealth.

He released two pages of a selected year which is, you better bet, the very best year to reflect on him.
Nothing to show where any money came from, the foreign countries, the oligarchs the laundering schemes.

Of course Trump released it (CLIENT FUCKING COPY), a classic Bannon. Just like the Ryan tape this week. But why did MSNBC air it if it played right into Trump's hands? Well I guess it was because fake news. Oh wait.

Yes, yes, Maddow and MSNBC are ridiculously democrat biased, not only that but were ridiculously Clinton biased over Bernie, too. Yes, they bury stories that don't fit the narrative, yes they harp on ones that do. But if both not going public with these and going public with them would have recieved ridicule from you. That's an issue you have.
