Trump owed NJ 30 million in back taxes
 

GOV. Chris Christi reduced trump taxes to 7 million. Fox news interviewed Trump. Trump said "Anyone that pays taxes in full is stupid"

So what?

Now go get the list of deals all the other billionaires get that would make most of us sick.

Doncha know one point does not make a line or a curve?

So you're saying Trump is unlikely to hand over billions of dollars to Iran. Works for me.

This may be the dumbest, most ill informed post of the day...er, week, er month.

Trump's financial ties to Russia and Ukraine will make you welcome what happened with Iran because Trump's soul is with Russia etc.

Russia, BS

Stop mixing up Trump business with his personal obligations or old debts including bankruptcy.

One has nothing to do with other.

Inside Trump’s financial ties to Russia and his unusual flattery of Vladimir Putin - The Washington Post

Trump’s mob-linked ex-associate gives $5,400 to campaign - POLITICO

"A Russian-born, mafia-linked businessman whose ties to both Donald Trump and loyalists of Russian President Vladimir Putin have sparked scrutiny, visited Trump Tower last month for undisclosed business, he told POLITICO.
The businessman, Felix Sater, also donated the maximum allowable contribution to Trump’s presidential campaign, according to the campaign’s most recent FEC filing."

Show some facts from the past year or two.

And not the Post

His tax returns would help....

So you are ok with a President in debt PERSONALLY and that is what is said to Russia. Indebted to one of our biggest threats.

Even if only business and it is not..

Donald Trump's Many, Many, Many, Many Ties to Russia

US election: Trump’s Russian riddle - FT.com

These are all current from different sources...its a fact. His ties go way back

Try and accept this if nothing else he isn't releasing his tax returns.

nor is he required to under the law. at this point what difference does it make?

Want to ask Hillary about the emails, much more important to our national security than any tax return.

I read your silly Post link nothing in there says Trump has anything personally to do with Russia. If I missed please quote it.

you said "President in debt PERSONALLY and that is what is said to Russia. Indebted to one of our biggest threats."

So unless you can quote a personal loan with a bank or person in Russia please stop regurgitating that statement.

Listen, I am not trying to convince you of anything.

If you are just warm and comfy with a President of the US being indebted IN ANYWAY, PERSONL OR FAMILY, OR BUSINESS...and having him take any stance to benefit our country ONLY....so be it. He has a rep for lying, for agreeing with Russia on NATO, etc.

Hey, whatever....does not seem logical to me

ISIS is a far bigger threat as of today.

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nati...icle-1.2767171

"An analysis of ISIS social media channels and interviews with 12 members — some of whom have since defected — shows extremists strongly back Trump over his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, according to writers Mara Revkin and Ahmad Mhidi of Foreign Affairs magazine."

Is Donald Trump Helping ISIS? London Mayor Sadiq Khan Says GOP Nominee Is 'Playing Into The Hands' Of Islamic State

"Donald Trump has called Barack Obama the "founder of ISIS," but the mayor of London says it is the GOP nominee who is aiding the Islamic State terror group. "

By the way, lots of others around the world agree, but I am sure you buy into him "knowing more than the generals about ISIS"

Sorry, but I do not plan to vote for a criminal, Hillary. You could put anyone on the ticket but Hillary and I would vote for them. NEVER HILLARY!

I get mixed up putting my country first.

Oh and don't forget Al Gore invented the internet.

"Many people are saying that when Trump gets into the White House he wants to have it moved to Alaska so he can see his friends in Russia from the Oval Office"

If you truly are country first you most certainly wouldn't support Clinton!

Dear Guest: You may want to check the statistic on just how much debt Obama has created for this nation in his 8 years as it about matches all the debt we accumulated for several of the last presidents, debt by the way that is held by China.

all businesses operate on leverage. Leverage is also called debt. And this issue means bupkus when it comes to voting when are progressives going to come clean about the dishonest deceitful criminal they are pushing to elect. a person in concert with ultra liberal globist Soros who is getting impatient about controlling the world economy. Trump is his natural enemy
And we need to get rid of the FED

Personal Best Regards:

Well, Obama is a lame duck so not worthy of discussion.

I know how business operate. Usually, as with Romney for example, everything goes into a blind trust (although I don't believe ANY candidate fo the White House ever in history had so many foreign ties and direct links to countries who have an interest in weakening us. In addition, I cannot recall with the amount of foreign debt this man is rumored to have. By the way, Trump has said he does not see any reason for a blind trust...of course he already pitched to NBC a reality show from the WH.

The crying about Obama having "emotional ties" to Kenya, etc sort of pales to this.

Of course, if he did what others do..release his taxes, it would help, but he won't because he knows what is in them.

I despise the Clintons and am more aware than you know of their connections.

On the other hand, researching Trumps associations, Trumps history, Trumps erratic behavior, I consider Donald Trump to be the largest threat facing our country today.

He is just plain uninformed.....disband NATO...isn't that what Russia wants ? Arm S Korea nod Japan with Nukes ? And just recently, during a required briefing, he actually asked why the USA did not use nukes ???

Sorry...I am probably more anti Obama and Clinton than you, but I suggest you do more research and reading on the alternative. It is not scary, but perilous for our future.

Imagine him reacting to world events....a nice calm, reasoned hand...yeh, right.

We haven't even touched on your fed comment...Trump has such huge federal plans I think the direction is just the opposite

Actually, more debt is held by Japan than China.

But back to the salient point, with that being your apparent inability to understand public (this country's) debt....versus personal (the candidate's) debt.

Having a POTUS whose personal fortune is even somewhat dependent on lenders from countries who are supposed to be our economic, if not militaristic, enemies...should be of grave concern to any true American.

That so many don't care of the potential conflict of interest, truly exhibits a hate toward the 'other party,' that for me personally...is inconceivable. :ohdear:

I guess the only thing Trump hasn't lied about is how he could shoot someone on 5th Ave....and not lose any votes.

Just think about THAT statement for a minute. :oops:


Thank goodness he will lose (to a woman no less :D)...by almost a record margin. :thumbup:



:wave:

CNM

The list accurate or not does not matter, pales compared to a similar listing for Clinton.

All I will do is support your post.

I am and have been very very anti Clinton and anti Obama.

I am NOT a supporter of or even neutral on Hillary Clinton. I find her distasteful.

HOWEVER, I agree that HATE of Clinton and HATE of Obama is clouding everyones judgement

Trump presents so many HUGE risks to your country, with no positive values to add.

He will NOT be able to lead our country as you do in a private business. It cannot be done. We have 3 branches of government, and I have yet (although he may have) heard him every say.."along with congress". He cannot change overnight or even over a term trade deals.....it is impossible without world chaos.

ALL, and I mean ALL economists, except those on his payroll say that chaos will come even with any of his economic proposals.

Just know, that a guy like me who finds Clinton, Obama very very distasteful, cannot even bring myself to imagine a world where Donald Trump is the leader.

We should be railing at our political parties and how they left us with such a terrible and vile choice for President.

If that were true every soundbite in the media would be chattering about it, they are not.

Agree?

Actually the cry for Trump's taxes is based on all of this because there would be able to see the ties.

BUT, lots being written on the subject.

This is more about some of Russia's intention and problems facing our next President

"For the next president of the United States, it is important to take account of two pressing issues: the continuing war in Afghanistan and the political and strategic intentions of Russian president Vladimir Putin.


Articles: Two Problems for the Next President of the United States

The next is more specific to Trump....

"Not since the beginning of the Cold War has a U.S. politician been as fervently pro-Russian as Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Just four years after his predecessor Mitt Romney declared Russia to be Washington’s greatest geopolitical threat, Trump has praised President Vladimir Putin as a real leader, “unlike what we have in this country.” Trump has also dismissed reports that Putin has murdered political enemies (“Our country does plenty of killing also,” he told MSNBC), suggested that he would “look into” recognizing Russia’s annexation of the Crimean peninsula and questioned whether the United States should defend NATO allies who don’t pay their way. When Russian hackers stole a cache of emails in July from the Democratic National Committee’s servers, as security analysts have shown, Trump called on “Russia, if you’re listening,” to hack some more.

It’s easy to see why Putin views Trump’s ascendancy as a godsend—and why he mobilized his cyberspies and media assets to his aid, according to security analysts. “Trump advocates isolationist policies and an abdication of U.S. leadership in the world. He cares little about promoting democracy and human rights,” continues McFaul. “A U.S. retreat from global affairs fits precisely with Putin’s international interests.” Putin has been relatively reserved in his public support for Trump—calling him “colorful and talented,” which in Russian comes across as faint praise—but Kremlin-sponsored propaganda outlets like Sputnik and RT (formerly Russia Today) have lavishly praised Trump, tweeted #CrookedHillary memes and supported Trump’s assertion that Barack Obama “founded ISIS,” and Russia’s world-class army of state-sponsored hackers has targeted Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party."



How Vladimir Putin Is Using Donald Trump to Advance Russia's Goals

This next is important if you really care.....I realize it is a lot but if you sincerely care about these ties that Trump will not discuss..

"What’s in Project Trump for Putin is clear. But the more puzzling question is how Trump became Putin’s man in Washington. Former CIA Director Mike Morell wrote in The New York Times that Putin “recruited Mr. Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation” with flattery. But the truth is more nuanced. Trump’s pro-Putinism goes back to at least 2007, when he told CNN that the Russian strongman was doing “a great job” rebuilding Russia. Trump was pushing real estate deals in Moscow at the time and, according to one Moscow-based American businessman who negotiated with him, Trump’s admiration for Putin was rooted in “pure self-interest…. He was looking to make friends and business partners” among Russia’s politically connected elite. “Oligarchs aren't going to do business with anyone who bad-mouths the boss,” explains the real estate developer, who requested anonymity because of his ongoing Russian investments.Trump’s affinity for the Kremlin deepened after he launched his political career in 2014. Trump has surrounded himself with advisers with deep connections to the Putin regime. Trump’s chief foreign policy adviser, Carter Page, once ran the Moscow office of Merrill Lynch and advised the Russian energy giant Gazprom (in which he still owns shares, Page said in March). Page’s company, Global Energy Capital, continues to work with Russian investments—and Sergey Yatsenko, Gazprom’s former deputy chief financial officer, works for GEC as an adviser. Since both companies have suffered grievously from the sanctions the U.S. and EU imposed against Russia over its annexation of Crimea, Page is a passionate advocate of lifting them—something Trump has said he will consider.On July 7, Page took time off from the Trump campaign to give a speech at Moscow’s New Economic School, where he slammed America’s “often hypocritical focus on democratization” and praised Russia’s policy of “noninterference” and “respect” for its neighbors. “Page toed the [Kremlin] party line,” says one senior Moscow expatriate professional who attended Page’s talk. “He’s a believer…. It’s common among Western businesspeople in Russia to be pro-Putin. But it’s rare to hear it from someone at the top of Republican politics.”Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, a Trump adviser and former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, is a regular guest on RT, the Kremlin’s conspiracy-theory-minded English-language propaganda channel. He has refused to say if he’s on RT’s payroll, but last year Flynn flew to Moscow to attend the station’s 10th anniversary gala, where he sat two chairs away from Putin. Michael Caputo, a public relations adviser who helped run Trump’s New York primary campaign, lived in Russia in the 1990s, and Gazprom’s media arm contracted him to improve Putin’s image in the United States. Richard Burt, a former U.S. ambassador to Germany during the 1980s who is known for his strong skepticism of the U.S.’s commitment to its NATO allies (Burt appeared in a panel discussion in April on the topic “Does America Need Allies?”), reportedly helped draft at least one Trump speech where the candidate blasted NATO’s “free rider problem,” according to Politico.Burt is chairman of the advisory council of The National Interest, a publication of the Center for the National Interest, a strongly pro-Russian think tank based in Washington. The CNI has long partnered with the Kremlin-backed Institute for Democracy and Cooperation, a think tank in New York devoted to promoting Moscow’s interests. In May 2014, the two institutions held a joint press conference defending Russia’s position in Ukraine. In April, Trump chose the CNI as the venue for his first major foreign policy speech, and the audience included Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak.Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort has longstanding ties to Ukraine’s Kremlin-backed former President Viktor Yanukovych, advising on campaigning for his Party of Regions in the 2006 parliamentary elections and paving the way for Yanukovych’s ascent to prime minister and then the presidency, from which he was ousted in 2014 amid massive pro-EU protests. Ukrainian parliamentarian Serhiy Leshchenko wrote in The Guardian that he had seen “so-called ‘shadow accounting’ documents” that show “a total of $12.7m of payments made to Manafort” by the Party of the Regions, at least $2.2 million of which, according to the AP, was channeled to two prominent Washington lobbying firms in 2012. Manafort denies any wrongdoing, though the very public discussion of his Ukrainian business connections certainly played a part in his being sidelined as Trump’s campaign manager in mid-August.During his time at the helm of the Trump campaign, Manafort played a crucial role in hauling the Republican Party’s official position away from its traditionally anti-Russian stance. According to The Washington Post, Trump campaign staffers gutted a proposed amendment to the Republican Party platform that called for the U.S. to provide “lethal defensive weapons” for Ukraine to defend itself against Russian aggression, defying a strong GOP consensus on the issue.



This is serious stuff and despite what you might think, he will be quizzed during the debate on this and it IS a subject explored but dismissed by Trump and advocates as "being mean to him"

This is a letter to editor but an informed and concerned letter...

"As a former Naval Intelligence officer, I found it interesting that Trump's chief political adviser Paul, Manafort, was a political adviser to Viktor Yanukovych, the Russia-loving head of Ukraine, for several years.

After the Ukrainian people threw him out for being too close to Russia, Trump's buddy, Russian President Vladimir Putin, invaded Ukraine and took the Crimea away.

With Trump's call for Russian hacking of his opponent's computers and his generally favorable attitude towards things Russian, including support for the Russian-supported regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, one becomes suspicious.

What's in it for Trump? Is this why he won't release his taxes?

Warren Buffet offered to release his taxes simultaneously with Trump and compared him to a monkey, but Trump hasn't lashed out at Buffett. Is it because Buffet is bigger and stronger than he is?

In any event, should Trump be elected, get ready to change the state flag to the hammer and sickle."

Trump adviser’s ties raise eyebrows

So, it is being discussed but NOT on Fox or Breitbart or Drudge

"Her party's candidate, Donald Trump, has been questioning the value of longtime alliances, even suggesting that he would not automatically defend the small Baltic states, which are NATO allies, if they were attacked by Russia. Trump told The New York Times in July he would come to their aid if NATO partners "fulfilled their obligations to us."

This is how Trump got the nomination. Lots of people who hate Clinton and Obama, understandable, BUT KNOW NOTHING of what is happening and why the person elected is important to the world.

NEWS FLASH !!!

He fired his ass

that was sarcasm, a joke

How Vladimir Putin Is Using Donald Trump to Advance Russia's Goals

And while you may be in denial about TRUMP, keep stuff like this in mind as you want to give him the keys to the kingdom...

"A Russian-born, mafia-linked businessman whose ties to both Donald Trump and loyalists of Russian President Vladimir Putin have sparked scrutiny, visited Trump Tower last month for undisclosed business, he told POLITICO.
The businessman, Felix Sater, also donated the maximum allowable contribution to Trump’s presidential campaign, according to the campaign’s most recent FEC filing.

Sater, whose firm co-developed a major Trump project in New York and who was later hired by Trump to drum up business in the former USSR, has said that he closely associated with Trump and his family, while Trump has suggested he wouldn’t even recognize Sater."

Trump’s mob-linked ex-associate gives $5,400 to campaign - POLITICO

I love this one...." has said that he closely associated with Trump and his family, while Trump has suggested he wouldn’t even recognize Sater."


He just lies so blatantly and easily

This is typical of a Trump supporter.....I have no doubt that he was being sarcastic.....

BUT what he and his supporters do not get....

WORDS DO HAVE CONSEQUENCES, especially if you are in his position.

Stock market can plunge or rise based on comments from the Oval office....alliances can be made or squandered by comments OR TWEETS from the oval office

Ok, Liza. Stop beating a dead horse. We're tired of your harping.

chilout

Do you mean like I turned over all emails,

I used one devise

YES....absolutely and she is paying the consequences.

You changed the subject, as always but expected.

What you should do is wake up and do some reading (beyond Briebart, National Enquire and Drudge).

Of course those "sources" do not discuss the world, or the nation or problems or issues.

They have one single job and truth never has mattered to any of them

Wow, a businessman that had deals with foreigners!! Go figure!

30 million in back taxes? Pocket change. Buffet owes a billion or two and the libtards don't think anything of it. Oh, but he pays less taxes than his secretary...ha,ha, ha...

You seem sincere in thinking that the dismay over Trump not releasing his tax returns has to do with whether he has back taxes.

Buffet money FAR AND AWAY exceeds anything Trump can imagine and he released his and was also under audit.

Associations, donations, FINANCING by whom is what is wanted....he hides it all.
