Trump's personal tax returns meaningless

 WHILE PRESIDENT HE COULD HAVE CLAIMED NO TAXES DUE

JUST ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING

For years the media and the democrats have been fighting to get Donald Trump's tax returns, a meaningless political exercise. The Democrat house claimed it needed to see his returns to make policy decisions, because just wanting to go on a fishing expedition would not be legal. The court finally gave in to their demands and they promptly proved their insincerity by releasing his returns to the public. 

I assume the media will try to either indicate that he has avoided taxes or that he is really a failed business man. It is just so much political hysteria without any substance.

In reality, Trump could have very easily claimed no income for all the years he was in the White House. He could have abstained from taking any income from his business interests and  he took no pay while serving as president. 

A 1040 is a personal income tax return, it does not necessarily indicate any income for Trump Inc. While president and his family were provided with housing, transportation, healthcare, security, food and entertainment expenses. There is not one item other than gifts he may have purchased that were not paid for by the United States. His business's could have made money that he has not drawn from and would not be part of his 1040 form. 

The media and democrats have been claiming for years that his sole reason for wanting to president was to make money, something that is clearing not the case. I would expect Trump has lost more money for being president than any other president in history. It was the goal of the opposition politicians and the media from the beginning and has not stopped, I expect they will still be demonizing Trump after he has left this earth. Much of this is to not only to damage Trump, but to send a message to any others to not take on the corrupt entrenched bureaucracy that runs this country.

This whole exercise was just another pathetically obvious political strategy that actually demonstrates the hysterical and desperate attempts to trash Trump. It just shows who and what these people are.
