President Donald Trump gestures while speaking during a news conference at the White House, Sunday, Sept. 27, 2020, in Washington.bombshell revelations that President Donald Trump paid just $750 in federal income taxes
Of course, Trump has repeatedly faced – and survived – devastating turns that would have sunk any other politician. That includes, most notably, the stunning “Access Hollywood” tape released in October 2016, in which Trump was recorded bragging about kissing and groping women without their permission. The video’s release came just two days before Trump was set to face then-candidate Hillary Clinton in their second debate and was considered a death knell to his campaign at the time.
Even today, when asked to explain their support for Trump, voters often point to his success in business as evidence of his acumen and often repeat his talking point that he gave up a great deal to serve as president. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer tweeted an emoji calling on followers to raise their hands “if you paid more in federal income tax than President Trump.”
He’s not a billionaire, he just plays one on TV.
Taxation laws need to be examined...its likely he is not alone.
What image? He has been a douche bag since the 1980’s. There is nothing left to tarnish.
Fake news
Can we get his Accountant, don't want to pay Taxes to the Trudeau Fraud Squad. Your photo supplied bt Global Times has more orange than expected. Are the CCP paying Globe & Mail enough to smear Trump and leave Liberals alone?
I have said it before. Trumps history as a businessman is a phalacy. He is corrupt,inept, and a failure as an entrepreneur.
Hey , the only folks that believed/profited in the ‘image’ is you runaway capitalists propagandists with an agenda to push.
As I Canadian, I don’t give a flying fuck about Trump’s taxes. I care more about cathmckenna locating missing funds when she ain’t busy eating dogs or watching illegal cock fights WheresTheMoneyCatherine or WECharityScandal being swiped under the rug of TrudeauCorruption
COULD
This is EXACTLY what the liberals and media have planned all along. Let the liberal smear campaign continue
Did he ever have this image? How many bankruptcies?
Nobody cares about his tax returns except the lying media trying to make something out of nothing.
That's the last 'big revelation' by the left. It's a thud, and a dud. It's MSM in a nutshell. It always brings a smile to my face.
He tarnished his own, look at the third world country now, lead by a lying cheat, followed by a bunch happy meals that are short of the fries, to each their own but they will all fall together when its over is when everyone rejoysous the fall of the idiot brigade.
With 6 bankruptcies I’m still amazed that anyone thought he was successful. But then that wonderful producer MarkBurnettTV recreated a fake Trump image on The Apprentice which remade Trump’s image (as a lie), got him some royalties and helped him become president. Gotta love TV
Wait ! - how much did Jeff Bezos pay again?
“Could tarnish”. What a mighty fall this paper has taken. More respect shown for this American tax fraud , than for John Turner who you repeatedly tried to marginalize after his death last week.
Leveraging the rules in his favour, and living off other people's money ?
First, y'all blame him because he's rich, now you blame him because he's poor. Get a grip at something.
carrot face
Could?
He is still being audited, so if he should pay more they will collect. The president never lied about hiring the best accountant to use all available deduction. Any good businessman does it. It’s partly why there are income-tax specialist.
Tarnish his image! Lol Confirms he's a fraud! He's a failed business man & in massive debt. He was wide open to foreign influence for years bc he's in so much debt. That's who backed his loans when no bank would give him any. That's why the Soudis & Russians love him. What a Con!
“Could”!!!!!
Can his image be more tainted... name one redeeming quality?
He has to spend more then that on orange makeup.
IRS Milking
This isn’t a new revelation. There have been many reports coming out of the NYT on his past financial health.
Tarnish? He's always been a fraud. Anyone with a brain knew it.
Not saying I like Trump but the tax thing is old they tried that in 2016&2017 I think maybe Americans should concentrate on bringing the country together no matter who wins unrest will continue from either side the media needs to stop the constant negative narrative
😂Tarnish what image? Dude has no image. Say what you want. He can't look any worse
Trump supporters aren’t supporting him for his economic policies, they are attracted because of his ntionalist and racist agenda.
He conned his supporters. One reason he donated his presidential salary was to make it seem he was so wealthy he didn’t need it. Meanwhile he was collecting even more from the taxpayers, lobbyists and foreign governments at his properties. GrifterInChief
'could tarnish'? Where've you been?
He only played a successful business mogul on TV.
Maybe his cult followers will start to see who Trump really is
Should not care whether he is a lousy businessman or a good cheater as this president and the anti-globalists were successful at bringing down the Bretton Woods system that helped so many out of poverty and created so much wealth to be replaced by a militarized system of tension.
Nope still voting for Trump
Blah blah blah blah FAKE NEWS
What image is that? No one believes it.
Wow, that orange tarnish is certainly rubbing off to reveal the hollow carney-show tin prize. As predicted. As inevitable. Grifters do be grifting...
Every successful business mogul knows Trump is not and has never been a successful business mogul.
Really? There are people out there that actually thought he was a successful businessperson?
His cult fans will say he is a hero for dodging taxes and deducting his kids wages as consulting fees. Everyone should read the full article from the New York Times
Tarnish his image. Everyone outside of his delusional cult members have known that Trump's a lying tax-evading grifter. With full participation from his family and sycophants. DonTheCon LockHimUp
They do think they’re better than us
He's just a manipulator.
Not really, you're a left wing rag.
Any updates from investigative reporting team on the WE scandal?
It will likely *further tarnish along existing fault lines. “A lot of people have been saying...” since before last election the so-called empire was highly leveraged, used inflated values for the brand, & had to have funny tax reporting.
Are we now just realizing this?
Completely irrelevant! He's already got a proven track record with the US economy - (pre-covid) lowest unemployment since 1962, 500,000+ full time manufacturing jobs created since the Trump tax changes.
No one was buying the 'successful business mogul' facade, except for the rubes.
If they voted for that face, his tax returns aren't going to stop them from doing it again
what does personal tax have to do with corporate? you're not looking t the whole picture
Hmmm... most of the very wealthy have no income to tax. At that point your revenue is via dividends and capital gains which are taxed at a lower rate.
Now report on the debt that makes him vulnerable to exploitation and should have disqualified him from the presidency.
His base doesn’t care they’re getting their judges.
He is leader of a cult. His 'wrong' actions doesn't matter to his voters
Canadian media is so disappointing
Could unless you're stupid
Instance 34,777 of 'OH, WE REALLY HAVE TRUMP NOW!!!' You Trump-haters are sad, desperate people.
He’s a billionaire, so I highly doubt he could be portrayed as unsuccessful regardless of his tax returns.
Is there a single undecided voter in America? Or is this thing just down to organizing?
Tarnish his image? Don't make me laugh, you can't tarnish his image. His detractors will not become supporters, his supporters don't care. He is so polarizing there are no undecided voters when it comes to Trump.
Oh, ffs. This is the headline you choose for a criminal, racist, fascist, conman, mobster, rapist, president?
Trump took advantage of tax laws and low interest rates to borrow large amounts of fiat currency to purchase cash flow properties that appreciated in value over time and then declare losses and massive debts in order to pay low taxes...... Its genius actually lol.
Hear that? That's the sound of women everywhere rolling their eyes. Actually, the dozens that came forward accusing him of sexual crimes as a 'mogul' was an indication his rep was somewhat already 'tarnished.'
Is it 'Mueller Time' yet, Globe and Mail?
He was a fake all along. For those of you keeping score at home, so is Trudeau. Wake TF up.
Hunter and Joe Biden on the Tette of Russia China and Ukraine. Mockingbird media.
He ran every single business into the ground. He’s so bad at business he LOST money owning a casino. Brokeahontas Kompromat BidenHarrisLandslide2020
You think? Who did not know that this con man was a fraud? No one should be surprised that he is not only morally bankrupt but financially bankrupt as well. Don’t forget how well the Toronto Trump Hotel did NOT do.
😴😴😴 THREAD:
Or it could be another Times hit piece. Which it’ll turn out to be.
Could?
He's always been a fake, always.
It's not going to do anything to his image. I hate the guy but it is obvious at this point that no matter what happens or what he does, his supporters are 100% in and are too far gone to be saved.
He’s terrible at business! A dozen bankruptcy filings and anyone he ever did business with would not do it again.
But does he take a salary ?
Four years in, it boggles my mind that Trumponzi is a surprise to anyone!
