2, October 2020 DJT “The Artful
Tax Dodger”
The chickens have finally come home to roost.
The DJT myth as a successful businessman has finally been dispelled. In
the presidential campaign of 2016, he made the preposterous claim he was so
wealthy he could easily self-fund his campaign. While hard working Americans
are paying their fair share of taxes, DJT used staggering business losses to
avoid paying his fair share of taxes.
Mr. Trump has been more successful playing a mythical business mogul than
being one in real life. This brings back memories of the movie classic “The
secret life of Walter Mitty” a daydreaming comedian who assumed successful
roles.
“The Apprentice,” along with the licensing and endorsement deals that
flowed from his expanding celebrity, brought Mr. Trump a total of $427.4
million, but relentless greed and bad business decisions landed him in the poor
house. He invested much of “Apprentice”
money in a collection of businesses, mostly golf courses that in ensuing years
have steadily devoured cash from a spree of quixotic overspending. He was NOT a
self-made businessman but a self-made business failure.
He paid no federal income taxes in 10 of the
last 15 years. When Chris Wallace, the moderator of the first debate, asked him
to confirm that he paid only $750 in federal taxes in 2016 and 2017, he
responded that he had paid milions! Hark the wise words of Mary Trump and elder
sister Maryanne warning Americans that DJT is a sociopath and pathological liar.
You have been warned. Vote wisely. Throw a Heil Mary and save our precious democracy.
