    1. Because he’s _not_ a president. He’s not a president in the way that he lost the popular vote, and he’s not a president in that he’s not qualified, and he’s not a president in that he doesn’t act like one. The only way in which he’s a president is by an outdated, obsolete, unfair, nonsense loophole of an electoral system that isn’t long for this world. Americans have already been shafted twice by the electoral college, it’s just a matter of time until they get rid of it.

    1. @Alamandorious also, did he put together the task force before or after he disbanded the pandemic task force that was established by Obama? Shame on you for spreading false information. Just admit that you hate Democrats since you’re closed minded and be honest about yourself

    2. @TOKER TALK I feel like someone with a pot leaf as their profile picture should not be taken seriously. That’s coming from someone who actually smokes

  1. This reeks of desperation, “scandal” after “scandal” in hopes that one of them will stick and they never do.

    1. @Joe Gotlieb losing hundreds of millions in Capital loses is a tax right off. At least look it up so you have the proper information.

    2. Day’s before the debate with Biden, right after announcing the supreme court nomination and peace deals in the middle east.
      All this duing FBI investigations into the 2016 election interference.
      Sure let’s see his return.

    1. ​@Liberty Hanson Sure, if you’re willing to take a leader who downplayed a global pandemic, spoke publicly about injecting bleach and openly bragged about not reading.
      Take him. He’s all yours.

  2. You do know that many billionaires declare $1 worth of income tax right? All of their incomes comes from Dividends and Capital gains when ever they make a sale of an asset like stocks, IP or real-estate.
    It seems to me that the New York Times does know how the world works.

    1. @bmxriderforlife1234 Canadians have been fleeced long before Harper and Trudeau. Picking teams doesn’t work. They are all playing a different game with the same result.

    2. The hilarious part? The New York Times ADMITS in it’s own “bombshell story” that most of the claims about Trump haven’t been corroborated yet! LOL!

    1. Bill Villeneuve More earning likely collapses his house of cards. From what I see, every move he makes benefits his bank acc.

    2. @lo ko
      What do you mean? He gives away his Presidential salary of $400,000 per year. He has to by law accept $1. And he’s stepped down from his companies board of directors. If you have a company and don’t draw income from that company, then you don’t pay taxes.
      So what is the surprise here?

    3. @lo ko Read the entire article. He paid 5.2 million.
      Unless you are Trump deranged, then there is no fact that can help you.

  3. “Bombshell” he used legal means to pay as little amount of taxes each year according to the rules, as every person filing taxes does

  4. If his presidential salary was donated to charity, (unlike Canada’s trust fund leader and finance ministers) and his business were turned to his children, how many taxes could he need to pay in 2016 and 2017? Great comprehensive reporting in Canada.

  5. He said in the press conference that he will be disclosing the documents soon, so looking forward to seeing them when disclosed.

    1. Christian Armor calling everyone a bot/troll is just easier on their tiny brains. They can’t comprehend their own ignorance.

  6. Whenever I see Joe Biden, I can’t help but think this poor guy has one foot in the grave. He just doesn’t look alive.
