Republican Election 2016 - Donald Trump Megathread [OFFICIAL]

[Ripster42]

Did you pull that shit out of your ass?

It's hooked. What do you put on a fishing hook?

[mvaliz]

He isn't releasing them because he thinks it's what nncost mitt his chance at being president.

Not to mention that the IRS said that audits have no bearing on allowing him to release his taxes, and is free to do so whenever he wishes - despite the audit.

[Orbitus]

Yea a corporation? You mean a person who is self funding, atleast for the most part. We don't need to break up the 2 party system and give more options. Also we need an option on the ticket for "None of the above"

It's quite fucking cute that you think that Trump is self funding ANYTHING. He LOANED money to his campaign, and the donations he is getting, is going to pay off the loans that he did.

You're telling me he didn't pay for his Primary?

No? He LOANED his primary money, but even then, he is again, paying off those loans with the donations he receives.

I already linked the news, he forgave those loans after pressure to.

Even if he waits till audit is over, this does not close the books on his taxes

if anyone found anything after, the IRS can still open up another audit and hit him with penalties.


so releasing them before audit is over would not matter.


not releasing them at all would be a move you make when the IRS fails to find anything, but you don't want to risk anyone else finding "questionable" things.

Naw, media has a liberal bias, I tell you! Even Breitbart has a liberal bias, that's why even their poll showed Hillary ahead. Only sites with a liberal bias would show her in the lead in polls.

It's not the media's fault silly. It's reality. Everyone knows reality has a liberal bias. Shame on you reality!!

Do we have actual confirmation of that? He said he did but was there paper proof? We all know how much he lies.....

[Orbitus]

It's an open and shut case. It isn't a lie. She should be convicted but we have a corrupt govt. He isn't releasing his taxes because he is under audit.

The audit has NOTHING to do with why he won't release his taxes. He won't release his taxes because it will show that he either: A) Isn't a billionaire anymore, B) Hasn't paid shit in taxes, C) Hasn't donated what he claims to have donated, D) Has done something illegal, or E) all of the above. The IRS has even stated that the audit cannot and will not prevent him from releasing his tax records. Trump is just a fucking pussy ass bitch HYPOCRITE.

Of course! That is it. Next thing you see, Hooked will be saying Breitbart is liberal.

As I said, I already linked the news. FEC report says he forgave them.

Well, he's not solely self-funding, which is usually what people mean when they say things like (paraphrasing here), "I'm self funding my campaign, so as to not be beholden to donors."

We can be certain though, that he's not just loaning his campaign money anymore.

[Orbitus]

I already linked the news, he forgave those loans after pressure to.

Until the end of the campaign where he loses and has extra money and he then pays off all the loans.

Or there is nothing unusual in those taxes and they provide easy "false target" for Democrats.

The more resources they spend on hyping them as "smoking gun" against Trump, the less they spend on anything else that might be questionable about him - and the more it can be used "discredit" media hype once they are actually released (being able to tell "and everything else they are telling is just as false!" without need to actually prove it).

[Deja Thoris]

It's really all of the above but the biggest factor (imo) is that he isn't a rich as his wild claims suggest and the tax returns would substantiate that beyond any doubt.

Doesn't matter what the IRS said. They can say what u want. His Attorney doesn't want him to release them until after the IRS has finished their audit. He said it multiply times and left is trying to push this.

Did his Attorney tell him not to release the Taxes until they finish the Audit, yes or no? Yes.

[Ripster42]

Until the end of the campaign where he loses and has extra money and he then pays off all the loans.

Again, they're no longer loans. He can no longer reclaim that money as his.

[Edge-]

Did his Attorney tell him not to release the Taxes until they finish the Audit, yes or no? Yes.

The only thing preventing him from releasing his taxes is himself. Here's a nice look at his history of excuses, side-stepping, and dismissals on the topic: http://www.politico.com/story/2016/0...returns-226531

Again, they're no longer loans. He can no longer reclaim that money as his.

Actually, we have no documentation so far that shows that he did indeed legally forgive the loans: http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016...elease-n601596

Similar to his, "I donated to veterans groups!" claims, which were proven to largely be incorrect many months after he'd made them and only happened when he was aggressively questioned about it by media.

[Zolaris192]

If wikileaks had anything it would be out already. They are just jerking around pretending to be relevant.

When you have information like that at your disposal you don't just drop it whenever you want you wait until the moment is right

For example the dnc emails, they had those since like February, when does it make the most sense to release them? Right before the dnc, which is what they did

He will probably drop them right before the first debate next month

[Fadeslol]

Did you pull that shit out of your ass?

http://polling.reuters.com/#!poll/TM...ue/spotlight/1

If you look at the Republications vs Democrats they are always pulling 100-150 more Democrats than Republicans

No because you have to Vet the groups you're giving money too. He has done more for vets and people than people realize but he doesn't even take credit for. The MSM is against Trump, they want a criminal and a traitor to win.

You do not release your taxes under audit, that's not smart.

[Pangean]

Doesn't matter what the IRS said. They can say what u want. His Attorney doesn't want him to release them until after the IRS has finished their audit. He said it multiply times and left is trying to push this.

And the excuse for not releasing taxes no longer under audit is? And the "left" which includes 70% of voters will keep pressing it because it's an issue of trust.

[Fadeslol]

What does him being audited have to do with releasing the returns? That's right, absolutely nothing.

Because if you're under audit and you release your tax info, everyone can go thru it and do the job of the IRS. IRS needs to do their job, then he releases his taxes and everyone can stfu about this already. I'm so sick of it. And believe me, if he doesn't release the taxes which he will, i will put a major post on this forum bitching him out and i will call his office which i have the number to and bitch him out me.

[Edge-]

No because you have to Vet the groups you're giving money too.

He claimed he'd already donated, and even the largest group that he said he was going to donate to said that they had not received the money yet.

He has done more for vets and people than people realize but he doesn't even take credit for.

Such as?... And if you cite that bogus Hannity story I'm going to probably fall out of my chair at work, so please don't cite that.

The MSM is against Trump, they want a criminal and a traitor to win.

Ah, the good old "MSM IS ANTI-TRUMP!" argument. Also, Hillary has not been convicted of any crimes nor have any actual allegations of treason been levied against her.

You do not release your taxes under audit, that's not smart.

Yes you can. There is nothing stopping him from doing so other than his own decision.

[Orbitus]

Or there is nothing unusual in those taxes and they provide easy "false target" for Democrats.

If there is nothing in his taxes, then why doesn't he release them like all other fucking candidates have done for the last 50 fucking years? He is hiding something and it is sad that you are defending the hypocrite in chief.
