Donald Trump is so poor...




Donald Trump is so poor, he can’t even own the libs.




So either he is a tax evader, or a really bad businessman, a security risk - cause he owes all of those loans to someone... or a combination of these things - I am going with all three.

This is why he needs to steal the election, when the Russian mafia comes looking for their cash, which he seemingly does not have, the security in the WH is great protection. Coupled with it being highly unlikely that the IRS would come for a sitting Presidents. Trying to protect himself from shady business dealing outcomes, with taxpayers money when he spends huge amounts of energy evading paying tax is all of the ironies dying, again.

And likely why big donors are running from him now, they know he's skimming the campaign money for himself because he's almost broke. Bankruptcies coming soon? I think so, and he'll be trying to try and keep things from being seized.

But I don't think bankruptcy protections can protect him from some nasty people coming after him... I think he owes money to people who have no respect for a law based society and the protections this affords its citizens!

While many of us may be struggling daily to keep a roof over our heads and the food on the table, even if we carry a balance on our credit card and owe a mortgage, we still are all wealthier than Donald J. Trump.

He is Millions, maybe even Billions in debt....

We simply must hope our leaders have this gamed out. Seems to me the most urgent worry is post-election protesting, and the series of scandals being vented and leaked are calculated to nip that in the bud.

What happened to her millionaire?
Slight mistake there. He didn’t own millions, he owed them.


Been saying this was true about the "billionaire" for years...

Obama in 2011 paid $162,074 in federal taxes on gross income of $789,674, according to the return he released that year. 

Trump has not released his own taxes, but the New York Times reported on Sunday that he paid no federal income taxes that year.
