Public interest in Mr. Trump’s tax situation was enormous at the time, as initial reporting showed that he had claimed vast business losses that could have helped him avoid paying any federal income taxes. In 2017, a man named Charles Littlejohn applied for a job at the consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton. His intention was to work as a contractor for the I.R.S. and leak Mr. Trump’s tax returns, according to testimony he later gave in a deposition.
Mr. Littlejohn succeeded, providing years of Mr. Trump’s tax returns to The Times in 2019, as well as the returns of thousands of other wealthy Americans to ProPublica in 2020.

Trump's grandfather was a draft dodger and enter the U.S. illegal at age 16, returned to Bavaria, then entered illegally again with a pregnant wife in tow. Trump has tried to claim his grandfather was welcome in the U.S., but jobless, unaccompanied minors are never welcome. The second it seems that gramps got in because he was visiting an older sister who was accepted by the U.S. as an immigrant.

1. They would have gotten contracts anyway
2. They donate / pay and get something in return. There's no real difference
Logical extension of above:
3. You were and are PERFECTLY OK with ANY benefit that Hunter might have derived from being the President's son.

Cuz I know that consistency is VERY important with MAGA.
Quiz. Pick the thing that is infinitely more important to Donny than the other choices:
1) Continued high grocery prices.
2) $4.50 a gallon gas.
3) Getting his a** kicked by Iran, seriously f****** with the world's economy and well-being, and at the low, low price of tens or hundreds of millions of dollars and 13 American lives.
4) His name being removed from a building after having been put there illegally.
2. They donate / pay and get something in return. There's no real difference
I realize he's just a troll, but this moral depravity is exactly the kind of s*** that is killing our country.
With all due respect, I'll NEVER understand the inclination (from SO many) to believe that pro-MAGA comments are from "trolls" just fooling around, rather from actual MAGAs from the pool of roughly ONE HUNDRED MILLION?

Statistically speaking there is one third of chance those posters are actually maga. Those who copy and paste everyday like a clockwork are obviously paid trolls.

The same critics who are alleging fake conflicts of interests, would also complain if American taxpayers were footing the bill for these long-overdue renovations. The donors for the White House ballroom project represent a wide array of great American companies and generous individuals, all of whom are contributing to make the People’s House better for generations to come.
