What do you think we will find out about Trump’s tax returns? -Chris
Bet we find out he sleeps better than everyone that stays awake worrying. Is pansey okay still? I’ll try that then.
We are gonna find out why CNNs ratings are in the dumpster
I’d rather see hunters and joeys.
We will find he paid more than Hillary, Obama, biden and Pelosi
58 likes 188 people trying to find creative ways of calling you and your platform R3T☆RDeD. Seems right. Carry on with the hate.
I want to meet the (non existent) auditors who have (not) been auditing these tax returns for four years.
Indeed, you would think the IRS could make a public statement that they are either doing an audit or that they are already done and have results to share.
But, we will never get to see them, would be great if we did though.
Yes watch
Crossroads with Joshua Phillipp
“Mr. Turbo Tax”. nice!! They are afraid of it getting public because the Dumpster KNOWS he is not the success he says he is and the returns will show it

Give how close trump always seemed to be to money laundering operations (see his “plans to build a hotel” in the country of Georgia for example) I’d be pretty shocked if there were no money laundering in his opperations.
Especially when you consider the stop gap benefits to trump and his businesses. I.e.- making the businesses appear busy.

Something to be proud of while he sits in prison. BOT
@Bioniq Bob You always know you won an argument with a Lib when he calls you a Russian bot…
@Bioniq Bob I’ve been waiting for five years for Democrat promises to come true, but they never do. Dumb Lib.
@Bioniq Bob If you still think Trump is going to prison after the last five years… You are really, really, dumb…
@Bioniq Bob If you are too stupid to compete in a free society… I guess the Democrat Party is for you… Fortunately I’m much smarter than you…
Trump: I’m not doing it to brag. I don’t need to brag.
Everyone: Yes you are. Yes you do.
@Stinky girl
Buckle up buttercup.
Trump has twenty nine lawsuits pending.
@Stinky girl with a stinky king dumb. When he is behind bars, this one would be swept away. Treason , lock him up and Make America Grateful Again.
Ur a moooowwww ronnnnnn
@Stinky girl How is it possible that a millionaire like Trump pays $750 dollars in taxes in a given year?
How is it possible that Trump paid NO TAXES in 11 of the last 18 years?
Why can’t he just make his tax returns public and if there is nothing to hide, make his critics go away?
Any millionaire cheating on his taxes is barely news. But Trump is not any millionaire, he was the President. So reporting on Trump’s deceptive behavior is not obsession, its accountability.
@Stinky girl yup .. and every month that passes gets us closer to a final eradication of the orange-cancer 😂🤣
Who cares about ‘may?” I want indictments. Let us know when something actually happens.
hopium for the masses 😉
If CNN only reported on things that are actually happening they wouldn’t have anything to report. Sure they could report on the inflation crisis, border crisis, labor crisis, or supply crisis…
They won’t though. Those don’t fit their narrative.
@Eternalwarpuppy : It’s the same for every 24 hour service. Too much time filling with “what if” and “what do think will happen?” which is lazy and a waste of time… and there is so much other important news that literally no one covers. Of course, FOX just lies constantly and aggressively so I won’t even let that crap appear in my channel line up.
so do I. why dont they investigate the clinton foundation, hunter and joe biden, john kerry, and the bushes. Then ill believe you are doing this for America, other wise you are doing this against a political competitor, and that is illegal. Right former President Nixon?
The most important question the returns will answer the question “how long will trump be in jail?”
if he goes to jail, it’s more likely that he would be jailed for state-level election fraud, like the DA for Atlanta is investigating him for.
federally, i don’t think the government likes the idea of jailing him. they just want to keep him and his supporters away from DC
Really? How’s the “Russian Collusion” investigation going? Impeachment #1? Impeach ent #2? Stormy Daniels? Can Liberals see predictable patterns?
@Phillip Sunkel did you forget about the OLC memo stating that a sitting president cannot be indicted ?……common sense the cretin said…..just wow
He won’t be going to jail. If he was from the working class and was making 50k a year, he would definitely be looking at some jail time.
When are the sexual assault allegations about old joe going to be heard
Same day hunter’s computer gets released I bet 😂😂😂
Gives to charity, do you remember what he did with his charity that was supposedly for sick children? Cheato only gives to charity if he is the cause. All that money the sheep give to him, he sees that as charity which benefits himself. And I hope those loans are called in soon.
there’s a reason it’s called *hopium*
@Soleil Cucumber Lime then keep hoping
St Jude’s hospital doesn’t belong to Trump.
God bless your soul man. Love the vibe of your video!
Common man let’s be real here, we all know who the orange fuherer is….don’t we????
Come on let’s be real here…. followed by hitler talk…. lol come on lets be real here
The banks own 90% of his properties.
@digidanshow and that is my point
@Iamsteve123 Me And you would know, of course, because YOU are El Diablo.
@Claus Kretzschmar ooooooookkk
@Iamsteve123 Me Please review post on why we pay city and local taxes.
Nice own goal there, John_Dennis. The banks own 90% of ALL properties. Bear in mind, 10% of Trump’s properties is more wealth than you’re ever likely to have earned in your entire lifetime.
Anybody who deals with construction and Realestate during the 1980’s had to have dealt with the mob at some point. In the 1970’s and 80’s NYC was run by the mob with great influence.
@your name lmfao 😂 Your fear is showing..
Which has ZERO to do with tax returns. You’re right, but it means NOTHING in this context.
@Alex Ordonez BOT, give it up, trump is all washed up. Say your goodbyes.
Stop watching so many movies.
Obama released his birth certificate but Orange Hitler can’t release his taxes 🙄
It was reported by many that Trump’s actual worth was “off the table” as a subject to the comedians and writers for the _Comedy Central Roast of Donald Trump_
The Count from Sesame Street called. He wants his jacket back.
C-SPAN VIDEO: BIDEN EAT HIS OWN BUGGER
CNN: NOTHING TO SEE HERE
Maybe DJT is “fighting like hell” to keep his taxes secret because he “won’t have a country any more” after we see them!
His taxes will answer literally none of those questions.
