I love how the orange menace thinks he can say that "our infrastructure is the worst. It's a disaster, it's crumbling.", and then brag to his pinhead followers and the world about how he doesn't pay any taxes. I know the o.p. is about the tax scams he's pulling and the meltdown the Times and Post revelations cause, but his tax moves are all lumped together. He keeps pulling every imaginable type of tax scam and doesn't get jailed. (Can't jail the opposition, this isn't a banana republic. Of course, one party is running with a 3 word slogan/chant expressing that idea, now.)

He pretends to his followers like he's just filing itemized deductions for schedule A. "Why wouldn't he write off his mortgage payment interest, and business miles? Everybody does that, it makes him 'smart'." But he doesn't just skate close to the line on tax issues, he keeps getting caught, over and over, with tax crimes that only result in fines and penalties. That's over a half century's worth of practices. His Foundation, Organization, Institute, University all have scams, tax crime scams, associated with them. But he gets away with projecting the fake image, to his followers and maybe some undecideds, that he just takes the business deductions that he's entitled to, he wrote off the new office stapler.

The reality is that he sucks so bad at business, often on purpose, and gets a ton of money doing things that way. He gets to brag about not paying for any infrastructure, us suckers get to pay for the infrastructure he uses, and get to listen to him bitch for hundreds of hours on the public airwaves that he's displeased with US infrastructure. The low quality infrastructure we pay for isn't up to the high standards he demands and deserves. He's a little bavarian prince, after all.

Like tRump taxes and infrastructure issues, he bitched about how much money the military is wasting, during the debates. He's running a campaign with promises of huge increases in military spending though.

And tRump and the rest of the taxed enough already crowd are campaigning for control of the country on a plan that'll add ten trillion in debt spending.
