Two honest questions for Trump supporters
 

1) Will it bother you if Trump does not show his tax returns and does not divest himself from his business interest to protect himself of any appearance of a conflict of interest?

2) Would you feel the same if Clinton had been elected and she didn't show her tax returns or divest herself from her business interests?

I'm just curious of your thought process. Thanks in advance for your response. If possible please keep your response civil. I am not attacking you or Trump.

1. No
2. Yes

The law does not require disclosure of taxes or divestiture. If it does the democrats will take care of it for you. If you don't like it get the law changed but stop whining.

A bill is being written to require all candidates to disclose their taxes. Unfortunately it cannot be retroactive requiring Trump to do the same. This has not been a concern in the past since all presidents have done this for the past 50 years, until Trump who skirts the law and protocols whenever he can.

Trump can only violate the constitution with the Republican party's permission. We'll see how long the law and order party will put up with his shenanigans.

Exactly it is not the law !!!!!!!!

Requiring tax returns is not the law, however accepting any gift from a foreign country is against the constitution and therefore an impeachable offense. Any foreign diplomat that stays at a Trump property (as long as Donald owns it) would be complicit in this violation.

:thumbup:

So what you are saying is that Hillary should be impeached, right? After all, as SecState her foundation accepted millions from foreigners wishing an audience with her. Or, is this considered another right wing conspiracy to you, to go along with all those obvious felonies she committed by purposely mishandling classified information?

Show me in the Constitution where accepting a gift from a foreign country is an impeachable offense. And is it a "gift" if it is business? A gift is accepting something with nothing in return expected. So, quit your whining and worry about something serious instead of your imagination. If this is the best you can do, then perhaps you should sit back and let others discuss politics.

It was my post and I'm curious why the attitude? I didn't make a statement I just wanted to hear your view point.

Now my next question is were you concerned with Hillary's supposed "Pay to play" when it came to her charity? Lets see if you can answer the question without being so defensive.

Wow, republicans are such hypocrites. If it's Hillary they want her locked up but with Trump it's "Hey, it's not against the law". How to you sleep at night? I mean after you pray to the alter of Trump/Putin.

NO, it will not bother me about Trump's tax returns. I am glad he did not release them. Too many politicians fall in lock step whenever something new is initiated, without question.

I would worry about Hillary's lost emails, a violation of federal law. I would worry about her foundation tax problems that she had to go back and amend five years worth of documentation. I would worry about her lying under oath. There are a whole lot of worries I would have about Hillary. Maybe others feel the same way and that is why she was not elected. I consider ALL Clintons to be scum, so I would not trust my government to any of them.

I consider anyone that supported Hillary to be blind and stupid. And that is me being kind.

We won.

We already know what laws Hitlery has committed. What laws has Trump committed that you want him indicted for?

Are you really that much of a crybaby about losing? I have never seen so many libtards crying at one time. Did you all really think that you had won the lottery with Hillary? You do realize that she could give a sh*t about you, right?

1) No
2) Yes.
Now my turn. Please point to any career/ federal politician or czar who hasn't made a fortunate while in office and after leaving?
Do you believe these politicians all became rich without encountering conflicts of interest? Do you discount that quid pro quo agreements were struck while they were in office and now they all seem to land comfortable on their feet in very lucrative positions.

Trump is rich. His brand "Trump"is what he sells. How do you suppose he will be able to ever divest himself of his business since his name is known worldwide.. If he sold every last asset people will still believe that he has a conflict. He is a businessman and business is his business.

Now let's point to lawyer who are politicians and that most of what they legislate rewards their profession and hence them. Are there not continuing conflicts of interest such as implementing regulations leaving office and becoming a regulator or employed by a corporation to oversee the regulations you as legislator implemented?, etc etc etc

For God sake this nonsense going on about Trump amounts to two basic themes. Liberals lost and they can't handle it. And if they can't reverse the elections results then at least they can continue their agenda of diminishing the Trump presidency. Essentially liberals are willing to burn the entire house down to get their way

Personal Best Regards:

Let's look into the future and impeach Trump ahead of time.


Wait I did receive a message from the future, the Clintons are imprisoned.

Even further... Hillary has early release due to AP, bills due to AIDS.

Like what you said...

I'll just add...the house is already burning...they started the fire in the 60s with civil rights laws that began the slow destruction of the nation. There's isn't much time before the point of no return...

Wow, the nutjobs are out in force this afternoon.

No and you should know he never will, there's no upside

He is exempt on #2

US Constitution, Article 1, Section 9:

"No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state."

Unfortunately you are correct and the would be Abby Hoffman's migrated to our educational institutes entertainment ,etc where they have greater voice . And this craziness has gone on so long that people think its normal. We see the incarnation of Abby Hoffman in the Michael Moore's of this nation.

If Trump's only accomplishment is succeeding in breaking this nation free of the politically correct hold liberal elitist have then we have a chance of returning our nation from one run by their chosen/designated collectives to one run by individual thought and freedoms

I wasn't saying anything. I just wanted your opinion. Wow, a little defensive huh? FYI; Hillary has a charitable foundation. The Clintons didn't take a dime (unless you can prove they did).

I just wanted to see how you Trump/Putin supporters were going to spin this. It's called "Cognitive dissonance". Look it up.

Good question. The answer is No and Yes.
The financial disclosures filed were sufficient. The reason for the tax return was to say since he followed the law and got tax breaks he should not be elected. The tax returns does not provide most of the information people said was missing. But it would show that he probably did not pay taxes due to depreciation on his real estate.
Divesture is harder. You are taking a successful person and saying you have to sell all your assets (in his case in a fire sale) and pay millions in taxes. Not particle.
For Hillary I would expect her tax return not to use a lot of tax saving ideas but it does show sources of income that should make you wonder how she could generate that type and amount. But the real reason I would want to see it is her and her husbands history of bending the law.
I know I ran for a local office and some people want to see my tax return. Did not see why I had to tell all my neighbors how much I earned etc to take an unpaid elected office. However I did say I did not own any of the business that dealt with the office. My tax return would not have shown if I owned any of these companies as the interest would have be consolidated on a brokers 1099 on my tax return.

It's darned decent of you to spell it for them...or they would have otherwise been totally clueless. :ohdear:

I am concerned about a lot of things. That does not mean if I don't like something I have a right to lynch someone. It is either against the law or it isn't. And even if the law is ridiculous thankfully the system is change the law and then enforce it forward not backwards to fit a situation someone did not like.

I am all for enforcement of the law. I am against anyone who did not like the outcome or the media trying to prolong an audience by trying to sidestep the law even under the disguise of moral ethics etc. I totally despise anyone especially lawyers gaining financial reward for giving false hope to an obvious situation. I am all for changing the law the proper way if it is the will of the people not a political party. To even consider making a law retroactive would fly directly in the face of democracy in my book. Following up with another question illustrating if the shoe were on the other foot won't change my position.

So, Hillary should be impeached for accepting "donations" (gifts) from foreign countries. OK, that works for me.

Trump is not sworn in yet and payment for service (ie. hotel accommodations) is not considered a gift. I would suggest that you go ahead with impeachment of Obama and CLinton before worrying about predicting offenses that MIGHT be perpetrated in the future.

Naw, to be clueless would be lowering our standard to CNMs.

Hey.........pull my finger.............:boom:

I can see where you are/were a politician. You can justify anything that fits with your agenda/double standard. Not sure why you are not interested in seeing his tax returns? We already know he didn't pay taxes because someone leaked that. I want to see what his dealings are with Russia. There has to be a reason he is sucking up to Putin.

EXACTLY...how much he paid, etc means nothing.

He IS in debt in Russia, and Turkey. He is an associate of some Russians. We do not know WHO, HOW MUCH he owes. He HAS associated with Russian criminals..he HAS associated with countries who support terrorism, and fringe terrorist ground.

Does he still owe them..how much.....

First of all most non business owners don't understand how he didn't pay taxes or why it exists under the IRS NOL rule.

He only didn't pay tax until the NOL was used up, that doesn't mean he didn't pay for 20 years he could have used it up in 5 or 8 what ever it's 100% on the up & up

The Russian BS is really getting tied, MSM don't even talk about anymore.

So stop regurgitating that crap

Trump is our candidate because of the ignorant, dumb and blind racists that occupy the right.

J-Bo, if you stopped regurgitating crap you would be a mute.

[QUOTE=Guest]
The only foundation that has been shut down by NY AG Schneiderman for fraudulent practices is the Donald J Trump foundation. It seems that Trump was soliciting donations from others and using the money for his personal expenses, ie legal expenses.

The Clinton Foundation is alive and well and doing good throughout the world.

The Trump Foundation was shut down just prior to Trump paying a 25 million dollar fine for more fraudulent practices, this time at his now debunked Trump University.

What an example Trump sets as future leader of the free world.

THAT is the issue in a nutshell.

I'm starting to believe however, that even if proof was found that he is indebted to these nations and if he were to give them undue consideration and access to this country's secrets in the future...that Trumpsters wouldn't even really care.

About the only thing that Chump has said that isn't a lie, is that he could "stand on New York’s Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody...and still not lose voters."

Let that sink in for a minute you Trump supporters and then point to a parallel from ANY candidate, for ANY office...EVER. :ohdear:

I'm fine with Trump as president. Much better than crooked Hillary the felon and that duffus with no experience, the racist Obama.

How long do you suppose it will be before the whiners on here are able to move on. Trump won, Hillary lost so you don't get your way this time. Wait 4 years and try again. But, you might want to find someone other than that tired old two time loser. Joe Manchin would make a good Democrat president. He's kind of middle of the road and could possibly get some conservatives to vote for him.

Tax returns are, and should be, a private matter. I don't know when this idea of presidential candidates making their tax returns public, but it should stop now.

Is there any other job where an applicant is required to show his or her tax returns?

They are pretty much irrelevant and are only used by the opposition as gotcha material.

Trump probably paid no income tax. So what? He had legitimate deductions to balance off his income. Are people aware of the multitude of other taxes that he paid? Does anyone consider that someone in his positions is responsible for hundreds of millions in payrolls tax. He is also responsible for employing over 34,000 people and those people pay taxes.

He has a number of corporations that pay corporate taxes.

He is probably responsible for more government revenue that all three Clintons combined.

Tax returns are yet another politicized issue that are meaningless.

Half the country didn't care HRC gave away our top secrets, it's a fact she did.

Trump never did

Ask your self this question.

Why wasn't the republican party hacked into?



.

What 'top secret' info did she give away?





Are you really that ignorant?

Since we know the Russians hacked both, but only released the Dem's...even someone like yourself should be able to figure out their intentions. :oops:

US intel reveals clues that Russia hacked groups to help Trump - CNNPolitics.com

No dumbbell, thought one of you would say that the fact is only three emails were hacked.

those three were not published by Wikileaks, they had no content of interest.

Why only three and not thousands like the stupid Dems?

easy, the dems with all their money never had a built a tight firewall to protect their data, more importantly they failed to monitor it.

Even with a weak firewall you get get alerts.

Pi*s poor IT company they hired.

The RNC and Trump team built good firewalls and monitored them.


Posting police warning the source is in the text:police::police::police:

According to the CIA version of the Russian hacking story, both the DNC and RNC were hacked into but only the DNC’s info was used, making them believe that the Russians were trying to sway the election toward Donald Trump. On Friday the Wall Street Journal reported that the Russians (if it was the Russians) tried to invade the Republican’s system also, but the techniques that punched into the Democratic Party’s network didn’t work on the GOP.


Team Trump knows how to hire the best at everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The reason both republican and democratic candidates showed them is to demonstrate they wouldn't have any conflict of interests. Something you knew but for some reason wanted to overlook.

If he owed large amounts of money to Russia could it be an issue for you? I'm thinking now. Because he will make America great again. You know that because.............he said so?

If Hillary didn't show her taxes would you have said the same? Come on now..... tell the truth. It'll hurt for only a little while. :a20:

Half the country didn't care HRC gave away our top secrets, it's a fact she did? Care to show some evidence? How can you say such a foolish thing? Are you not embarrassed when people laugh at you for saying these bogus claims. STOP WATCHING FOX NEWS!!! Get a clue.

Aren't you embarrassed to suggest that HIllary did not commit crimes against our national security, when she admitted under oath to illegally doing her gov business on a private server? Have you never seen or read any of her emails that have been posted all over the Internet? Are you really that stupid?
