Donald Trump discussion Thread IX (threadbanned users listed in OP)

The US Supreme Court will not stop the grand jury from obtaining Donald trumps tax returns which he’s fought so hard to keep hidden. You’d assume whoever has possession of the tax returns won’t be willing to break the law to help a now private citizen Donald trump. Just imagine if Donald frump had never run for President he’d probably not be under scrutiny the way he is, and could have carried on doing whatever he was doing prior to 2016.

One of those rare occasions that you're sorry he's blocked from Twitter. For a man with "nothing to hide" he's working awfully hard to hide those tax returns.

pity the general public may never see the light of day of these tax returns unless an indictment happens and Trumps taxes are evidence

There will definitely be a court case - Think the only way now that they aren't made public is if Trump settles.

Don't think that's likely though , after all this I can't see NY accepting a plea deal , suspect they'll want their day in court.

Matthew Dowd, a political strategist, told the MSNBC network: “I find it fascinating that taxes may finally be the way that DT is held accountable in all the things he’s done throughout his life. I find it fascinating because Al Capone, for all the bad things he did, was finally held accountable and ended up on the Rock [Alcatraz Island] out in California because of tax evasion.”

As the NY investigations continue it is worth noting that he is already an un-indicted co-conspirator for the crimes that Coen is serving time for. Coen, I presume, would be a willing witness to these crimes.

Cohen has been an active witness for the prosecution for some time on this.

The Manhattan DA has received Donald trumps tax returns. This isn’t a drill. Now the public probably won’t see them any time soon, but it’s nice to know that now the Manhattan DA has the Nixon version of the smoking gun tape. I think I’m right in saying that if the DA brings a case these returns will be part of the evidence so we may see them.

We've already seen them, everybody knows he's broke, it's just a matter of if he can drag out the process for the rest of his days and leave everyone else to pick up the pieces.

He's not broke, anymore than someone with a mortgage is not broke.

He has plenty of potential revenue streams, and the assets he borrowed against can be leveraged or sold.

They (finally) got his tax returns. I wonder if they will leak ?

His real estate portfolio is mostly underwater and turning in losses year after year, he may be able to ride his supporters a little bit to keep cash coming in, but he is "rich guy broke", i.e. he'll be able to keep claiming expenses and racking up debt because it's more costly for the banks to call in the debt and realise the losses.

He only turns in losses because it suits his accounting to do so. Though his presidential nonsense has not done his businesses any good.

It must have really suited his accounts to bankrupt a casino and watch it be tumbled to the ground so.

I'm not a huge Cy Vance fan going off his past so I'm gonna wait and see before getting any way excited about the verdict.

What will hopefully come from it though is evidence of wrongdoing on the kids if there is some that stops any dreams of fancy they have. Donny may be made of teflon but I don't think the kids are

Feb. 27 at the White House: “It’s going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”

Trump 1 year ago.
Half a million deaths later.

Tbf, Trump is going to be right, in the end. He just didn't mention that it would require a change in POTUS to achieve it.

That statue of trump is very him. It’s unnaturally yellow and looks cheap.

Which of his policies most excite you?
The ones discussed in his speech of course?

How's the health care plan coming along?
Did he lay out the details?

He’s not president.

Can't unsee that 7th SS Mountain stage at CPAC. I know it's unintentional but it'll fuel the conspiracy theories for quite some time.

Tell me how

Don't believe this for a fraction of a microsecond.

It was probably done so as to be a useful reference point so they can deflect any commentary about right wing agenda and symbolism as being just 'more fake news' in the media, 'like the did with the conference stage' while at the same time they can have a wink and nudge amongst their ultra conservatives base.

A Nazi symbol for a stage.
A key speaker removed ahead of schedule because of prior remarks.
Gave the keynote position to someone who party leadership said incited the events of the 6th January.
Ted Cruz screaming like a football hooligan and Kimberly Guilfoyle uttering complete irrefutable lies.

Could well be looked back on as a significant event in American politics but your definition of well run events is obviously very different to mine.

As a right leaning individual I enjoyed the event what can I say.
Learning there is cpacs in other countries was surprising to me aswell.

My knowledge of nazism only going as far as WW2 movies, i had no idea the stage beared any resemblance to any symbols untill I came on here last night.

Tin foil hat time for the Dems

What particular policy in forwarding a conservative agenda of trump's is something you like and how is your support of trump impacting the situation in your country . Since he is not a politician there ?
