So lock up a man for a LEGAL LOOPHOLE. This looks more and more like jealousy of the rich from the left in the democratic party and the republican party. they do this to every outsider. If politicians handled their finances the same way they would also be red flagged.

If he's dealing with offshore accounts and shuffling debt, this may NOT be legal. He can blame a tax accountant if he likes, but at the bottom he was the one who approved of this. Note that his personal wealth did not go down.

...and that's just one year. What about the other years? Did he shovel more debt into his debt pit?

If he (and other wealthy people) paid their fair share of taxes like we in the middle class do, we'd have more money to repair the potholes in the roads and fix bridges and hire more teachers and expand schools so that nobody's teaching 35 kids in a tiny classroom. And we'd end a lot of problems because that much more money would be more jobs.

So if Mr. Trump wants more jobs, Mr. Trump can start looking at fewer loopholes and paying more taxes.

Jealousy byrd. jealousy. If they paid more money... Nothing would change. Tax raises have never made things easier for the poor.
