A bombshell New York Times investigation has offered the most conclusive proof yet that US President Donald Trump's business empire is nowhere near as successful as he claims. Trump has for years cited his business acumen as a defining trait, and one that gave him an advantage over others seeking the presidency.

"I did a lot of great deals, and I did them early and young. And now I'm building all over the world, and I love what I'm doing," he said when he announced his presidential bid in June 2015. "I'm really proud of my success. I really am."

But that picture has been complicated in the years since the former host of "The Apprentice" was catapulted into the political spotlight. News reports have drawn attention to Trump's history of corporate bankruptcy and the outsized role his father played in his financial success.

On Sunday, the New York Times published the deepest dive ever into the US president's finances, citing detailed tax records that the newspaper says "portray a businessman who takes in hundreds of millions of dollars a year yet racks up chronic losses."

The tax returns for Mr. Trump and hundreds of his businesses reveal the hollowness, but also the wizardry, of the self-made-billionaire image honed through 'The Apprentice,'" the Times concluded. "They demonstrate that he was far more successful playing a business mogul than being one in real life."

Trump on Sunday denied the New York Times story and claimed that he pays "a lot" in federal income taxes. "I pay a lot, and I pay a lot in state income taxes," he said. A lawyer for the Trump Organization, which manages the president's family businesses, told the Times that "most, if not all, of the facts appear to be inaccurate."

Here's a look at what the Times investigation revealed:

Trump paid no or little federal income taxes for years- According to the Times, he paid no federal income taxes in 11 out of 18 years the newspaper examined. He also managed to pay federal income taxes of just $750 in each of the first two years of his presidency, 2016 and 2017. The report shed some light on how this was able to happen, namely by the way his businesses reported their earnings.

Throughout his career, Mr. Trump's business losses have often accumulated in sums larger than could be used to reduce taxes on other income in a single year," the Times reported. "But the tax code offers a workaround: With some restrictions, business owners can carry forward leftover losses to reduce taxes in future years."

Many of his businesses are burning huge piles of cash - According to the investigation, some of Trump's companies are doing well and profitable; others, not so much. Some of his best-known ventures "report losing millions, if not tens of millions, of dollars year after year," according to the Times. That includes his famous golf courses — which have reportedly racked up at least $315 million in losses over the past two decades.

For example, Trump's golf resorts at Turnberry and Aberdeen in Scotland lost over £11.8 million ($15.2 million) in 2018, company records show, and lost money the previous year too. British labor union RMT said Friday that Trump now plans to lay off up to 80 workers at Turnberry, or roughly 17% of its workforce, and cut salaries and working hours despite receiving UK government wage subsidies during the pandemic -Trump Turnberry did not respond to a request for comment on RMT's claims.

 Trump Tower in New York is a major moneymaker - The storied skyscraper, which sits on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue, has "reliably delivered more than $20 million a year in profits, a total of $336.3 million since 2000," according to the Times. Trump's stake in two office towers in New York and San Francisco has also worked out well, delivering $176.5 million as of the end of 2018, the publication reported.

Trump's D.C. hotel is not - The Trump International Hotel in Washington D.C., which reportedly asked for relief on rent payments earlier this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, has lost more than $55 million since opening four years ago, the Times reported. The property has come under intense scrutiny in recent years amid allegations that Trump was unfairly profiting from his presidency.

He made money from foreign deals after becoming president- When he took office, Mr. Trump said he would pursue no new foreign deals as president," the Times reported. "Even so, in his first two years in the White House, his revenue from abroad totaled $73 million."

Trump had extensive foreign business interests before he became president, leading to questions about potential conflicts of interest. As of 2016, for example, his financial disclosures listed more than 140 companies that had dealings in at least 25 countries around the world, according to a CNN review.

Need I go on?

Bottom line is that most people on GetBig have more equity than the orange idiot. Everyone who votes for or has voted for the orange idiot need only hit the sunbeds, because they are already half way there.

Yes, go on. I stopped reading after “Bombshell, NY Times”

And then there’s this...

 No one is accusing Trump of doing anything illegal. If you pay more to the government than you are legally required to pay then you are a fool. Trump, or at least his accountants, know their tax laws. Good for them.

The issue should be the type of tax system we have. It's so convoluted and complicated that it allows the rich and savvy to exploit the various loopholes. If we had a consumption tax then everybody pays their "fair share" -- even those engaged in the black market and illegal transactions.
 
We all have to buy things.

The media promised that President Trump’s tax returns would reveal deep ties to Russia.

Didn’t happen!

Know whose finances would reveal deep ties to Russia?

Hunter Biden.

The majority of people on this board are a special kind. The kind that burned women at a stake because the Church has told them so. Trump is their church. When he loses in November they will have a fake reason why he lost and will complain for the next eight years. Unreal, but has been happening for millenia. Inadvertently, the light always wins.

Evoluton and natural selection always choose the smart, the strong and the patient!

So a really rich guy didn't paid that much in taxes?  Zzzzzzzzzzz

When have Republicans ever protested, rioted, and screamed in the streets when their side lost? When have they ever contested the results like Gore did? Remember it was Hillary that said that Joe Biden should not concede under ANY circumstances.

That has nothing to do with being an inc or corp being backed by the gov't.  I can assure you they file and pay taxes just like everyone else.  The ones you listed most likely had expenses and deductions that was claimed to be higher than profits.  Which will result in a refund no matter how the business is structured or filed as.  It doesn't mean they were exempt from it.   My gf runs her businesses through both an S-Corp and an inc (and property management through an LLC), and for the S-Corp alone she pays $16,000 per quarter.

LOL at all the libtardz ^^^

Pellius, keep owning these clowns. 

[El Diablo Blanco]

I'd like to see the NYT look at the top 1000 richest people in America and see how much they paid in taxes.  I'm sure it's close to $0 as well.  Don't hate on them but hate on the IRS system that enables this and allows it.

[hench]

Didnt wesley snipes have the same accountant

[Coach is Back!]

Story’s been out for 15min and of course libtards believe it 😂😂😂


Eat (another) dick JAGO

And a day later....the story is debunked. Stupid libtards

[Walter Sobchak]

What taxes did the Biden family pay on the illegal payments they received from foreign countries and companies?

What taxes did the Clinton family pay on the illegal payments received and withdrawals made from the Clinton Foundation?

[Coach is Back!]

Another JAGO thread backfire

[Humble Narcissist]

They are just going to roll these stories out one after the other until the election.  The media will back every Biden story and "fact check" every negative story about Biden.

[El Diablo Blanco]

What taxes did the Biden family pay on the illegal payments they received from foreign countries and companies?

What taxes did the Clinton family pay on the illegal payments received and withdrawals made from the Clinton Foundation?

Dude, are you fucking crazy?  Don't call out the Clintons or you could get Epsteined.

Only libidiots give the Clintons any power any more.

They’re as flaccid and useless as the dick Primehomosexual just pulled out of his ass.

OBW, they both donate salaries to charities , just like Mr.Trump 

I don't earn a salary. For that you have to have a job. I am retired. I donate part of my retirement income to charity.

"According to news coverage and White House news releases, Trump has written checks equal to a quarter of his $400,000 annual salary every quarter to various government agencies."

Trump earns income in addition to his salary.

"Trump once again made money like a king in 2018, claiming nearly $434 million in income, according to a report released by the White House on Thursday."
