Is 36 million in a year a large amount?  I think the trump legal team spent that the first half of august

My understanding of it, is that tax returns on their own are not enough to prove anything. They are used in conjunction with other information like ledgers to find discrepancies. 
However, the information might be so blatant that it's obvious whats going on. >

The article lists at least a few things. One of his companies exactly broke even. And he loans his kids money and the interest rate comes out to an exact dollar amount (18000 and 24000).
They are just barely trying to hide the fraud. >

what an amazing amount of financial foresight /s >

Thanks! I was looking for the actual tax returns and couldn't track it down an hour ago. >

Welcome! >

Man, that IRS audit took forever!
...the IRS did do an audit, right?
...right? >

That’s only for us poor people >

It keeps us on our toes me'lord >

My tax returns are tremendous.  The American people will say that these are the greatest and most beautiful and clairvoyant tax returns they’ve ever seen.  I’ve been trying to release them for years, but the lamestream media won’t admit it.  The radical left Marxist democrats and their RINO allies in the deep state demanded these tax returns unfairly, a persecution which no other president has ever had to endure.
…or something like that. >

By Trumps standard, Al Capone could've been president. >

He would have done a better job.  Capone wasn't a moron >

Al Capone wouldn't sell out to the Russians and suck up to Saudis. And probably would handle the classified shit in a proper gangsta way. >

Tax evasion charges coming right up.. >

You see?! He got the GOP nomination in 2016 and he released his tax records! Just like he said he would! I think we should call him “Promise Keeper”. 
BTW the check from Mexico for the border wall is in the mail. >

Why did Trump have a Chinese bank account in 2017? >

A good question. And one that the American people should have been able to ask 7 years ago when considering Trump's conflicts of interest. >

“IRS representatives also note that the reason these have taken so long to become public is due to Trump ‘filing his taxes with a red crayon’. Sources also state that crude pictures of Rudy Giuliani and him holding hands are present on 5 out of the 6 years released. These are just a few examples of Donald Trumps bizarre written tax filings, despite being asked several times to simply file online.” - this article(I didn’t read it). >

It took approximately six years to release six years of tax returns. Any issue there? >

What’s it with all those pages with a line that crosses the page when there are numbers on them? Is it done by the auditor? >

Lot of redactions containing social security numbers and other specific personal information. >

Is anyone surprised or shocked? Pretty much as shady as we all expected.  A conman is gonna con people. >

He held foreign accounts while in office, including an account in China, while campaigning about how Biden was a puppet of the Chinese. Biden has never had any accounts in China.
That was interesting I thought.
The lack of taxes paid and the "loans" given to his children in excess of the yearly allowable tax-free gift exclusion are interesting. >


loans" given to his children in excess of the yearly allowable tax-free gift exclusion are interesting.

Haven't looked at the taxes at all, but ontop of the like 15k you're allowed to gift "tax free" you're also alloted close to $12 mil you're allowed to gift tax free over the course of your lifetime

Right, but if you "loan" your kids $24,000 to avoid paying taxes beyond the allowable yearly $15,000 gift (2018-21), the IRS is going to frown on that and may ask questions like what the purpose of the loan was, proof it was used for that purpose, the details of the repayment schedule and conditions, etc.

Trump is a domestic terrorist who should be given a blindfold and cigarette. >

Lol when I was skimming, I read it as “6 years of Trump’s tax evasions…” >

The USA will never put a former POTUS in prison. W & Cheney certainly could have been there for war crimes. Bush Doctrine was lame, at best. >

No one doubts he is a conman anymore >

Tell that to 25% of the country and think again. >

Anyone who pays taxes specially middle class republicans are done with him >

Why not more? I feel like just showing it during his presidency only fuels these conspiracy theories and makes it feel political. Release everything from the 2000s. Then the 90s. >

Meanwhile, we still haven't seen Obama's transcripts that he spent millions keeping secret. Transparency for all Presidents, I say! >


What "secret" transcripts?  
Are they any different from the transcripts Trump's admin kept private/ripped up and flushed/or had the chief of staff burn 
Whataboutism isn't a relevant argument against the release of Trump's tax returns.
