He avoided taxes by going bankrupt? Explain how that works.
You "carry forward" your business losses, so you can deduct $50 million a year for the next 20 years.

People people people let's try and get back on track. Despite the intellectual diarrhea that is the Trump campaign, there still is a sizable group of people that buy into this nonsense. In four years time there may be a candidate that isn't quite as adept at buffoonery as Trump. Granted, many of the Trump supporters are just old and crotchety and will be dead in 4 years. Us sane people really have to figure out how to deal with the nutters so that we don't go through this same silliness over and over and over again

I'm aware of carry forwards which extend a year or four but still doesn't explain going bankrupt to avoid paying taxes.

You can't tax what someone doesnt have.

Going bankrupt to avoid paying taxes (and pensions, and employees, and contracts, and health-and-safety fines, and environmental cleanup costs) is an American tradition.

So, Trumps response is that she is too ugly for him to be interested in her.

Do you seriously support this guy?


Trump did NOT say she was ugly. There you go, substituting his words with other words to suit your purpose.
He simply said, "Look at her." That could just as well mean 'look at what she's saying', which, if you did you would see the flaws in her story.


No, I don't support 'this guy'. I'm not an American so can't support anyone. But if I could I would take him over that evil, lying, devious, B****H who bungles everything she touches.

Why would anyone believe him? ... a serial bankrupt who has lost billions of other people's money? He's a pathological liar, as well as a bully and sexual predator.


Why would anyone believe HER? Because they want to, I guess.
What proof have you that Trump is a pathological liar (do you even know what that means?), a bully and sexual predator? That's just speculation by those who don't like him. Armchair psychiatrists! And weak-minded people swallow it because they can't reason things out for themselves.


For someone who has lost billions of other people's money he seems to be doing pretty well. He must be making money. Otherwise how does he maintain that jet plane? How does he get all those employees, especially lawyers, pilots and aircrews to work for him if he doesn't pay them?
How does he keep a beautiful, dignified lady as a wife for 13 years and how did he raise a successful, decent, respectable family? Do you suppose he could do that on pathological lies? As a bully, a sexual predator?
What tommyrot!


If people don't want him as President all they have to do is not vote for him. To spread rumor and hearsay as truth is immoral and reprehensible.

It's smart business practise in any country.

Here's a theme song for all you Trump haters. Although I think the 'devil' would apply equally to Clinton.

Some people still believe OJ is innocent. Some people believe Elvis is still alive. Some people believe the Joos brought down the twin towers. Some folks believe Obama is a Kenyan born Muslim. Some folks believe Trump isn't a misogynist and a racist. I guess you just can't fix stupid. All can do is try to manage it. I think voting should be like driving. Once you get to a certain age, you should have to show that you are reasonably competent.

OJ was found not guilty so he is obviously innocent. Don't you trust our justice system?
