Why would a perpetual liar's tax returns be legit?

Trump lied about being bankrupt when he was divorcing Marla Maples. He lied about the amount of money he inherited from his father. So it’s obvious to me he lied about losses that resulted in a $750 (?) tax payment. The same lies he’s told that got him a multimillion dollar tax refund years earlier according to Michael Cohen.

He’s not broke. He’s stolen too much campaign and taxpayer money and cheated the market too much to be broke.

I just hope somebody can put two and two together and pinpoint the lies then lock him up.

I believe it was led by someone named Mueller. I must be mistaken. Silly me.

She always calls me for clarification or to resolve a contradiction with the numbers I provide. While I know she's protecting me, she's also protecting herself.

Not only does he not have the intelligence or attention span to even contribute to their preparation, he seems to take pride in not having a hand in the details of anything. His accountants do it all for him, all he has to do is not get stains on the paperwork when they ask him to sign it.
