It's not just about 10 years of losses but how he got the money to lose in the first place.
His father had been giving him millions of dollars from his successful business for years since he was a toddler.
All of that was to evade taxes.
Now Donald starts off with a billion or so dollars and starts to play Monopoly but with real money.
But he starts with tax free money. Then he loses millions each year because he is a bad businessman.
There aren't a lot of accounting tricks here. He's truly losing money. But wasn't taxed on the money he started with.
Interestingly, the one year he did pay taxes is because of a $63 million payout from Merv Griffon to stop doing businesses with him to save from future losses.
That went down as salary or ordinary income.
He had an occasional stock gain now and then but he mostly lost money in business.
Now Trump is really scared of having his recent taxes disclosed.
He pretty much stopped doing ordinary real estate deals and started simply selling his name. And he has salary and proceeds from NBC's The Apprentice.
We know he had trouble getting loans and that's where the Russia ties for money may come in.
Doesn't it seem important under these circumstances that Americans should have transparency on the finances of our president?
And why would the Treasury block Congress' request to see them? And the Attorney General assist in that as well?
Are we looking at corruption in this administration?
