Seems like everybody’s financial arrangements are coming out in October. What a surprise.

Only one candidate has publicly released their taxes.

Why is that?

Very complicated taxes would immediately start a war between the WashPo and NYTs over who could come up with the most speculative, unsupported questions. I wouldn’t consider releasing them if I were Trump.
And its nobodies business. Of course, if they think it is they are free to vote accordingly.

Seems like they have been able to figure out quite a bit… like a secret Chinese bank account, massive tax evasion, huge amounts of debt and no way to pay it off.

That would be a cool thing to know about our Chief Executive… don’t you think?

Especially one that touts his merits as an amazing businessman.

Conmen are technically businessmen

Mostly, they have speculated. The laptop is real and with the FBI. This is just gross speculation…of the kind you would expect in late October.
Nothing there, but by the time it is realized the voting is over. Its kind of a common thing to do.

Oh… the soggy laptop is such a story worthy of belief.

Still on the road to crazytown.

Its not gross speculation to assume the laptop belongs to Hunter? It isnt something we would expect in October, almost as if our intelligence community warned about us about it?

Hilarious that media wont permit testimony by someone familiar with the contents of the laptop emails and has worked with the Bidens and is talking to the FBI, because it is unproven, will sit there and speculate about debts they know next to nothing about. This is where that media earns their credibility, or lack thereof.

It is not speculation that Trump has a secret Chinese bank account. It is not speculation that he is hundreds of millions in debt.

Wall Street Journal is the “Media”.

You got him now.

Total game changer.

Well done!

Hilarious that all is needed to prove the story is for Rudy to show the metadata. Why hasn’t he done so?

A.game changer isn’t needed when you’re ahead. This is more like padding the score.

Yep.

Some pdf’s and a soggy laptop are not good proof.

Because opening the link in an incognito window is so much work.

If people won’t make that minimal amount of effort to open the link, they surely aren’t going to spend the time reading the link.

Exactly. You’ve got the tiger by the tail.

Well done.

Let us know how it turns out.

Seriously, Trump’s chances of winning is even lower than than the Orioles.

Okay.

Situational unawareness reigns supreme.

Situational unawareness reigns supreme.

Irony is ironic. Not even Trump’s campaign thinks they can win anymore and are putting their chances entirely on the court challenges

I’ll post a summary for you.

Here you go.

“Instead, hedge funds and private equity firms threw up their hands and forgave most of what Trump owed.

Two of those firms were run by men who later got roles in the Trump administration: Steven Mnuchin and Stephen Feinberg, who leads a White House advisory panel”

Weird. Isn’t loan forgiveness effectively the same as a gift? Or income?

[Apocalypto]

Cont…

“Trump’s other big lender in Chicago was Deutsche Bank. It gave Trump extra years to repay the $334M he owed.

By 2012, Trump still owed $99M to DB. So, one DB division lent him that exact amount to repay another DB division.

That $99M is more than 2x what I’d previously known”
