Trump Evading Taxes

WE NOW KNOW what we long suspected, what Trump and his supporters have long denied. We know that the president doesn't pay taxes, that he is hugely in debt, and that his finances and business empire are completely fraudulent. Than you, New York Times. And for those desperate to justify Trump supporters among you, no the New York Times does not print fake news, and least not so far, in its many many decades of publishing the world's most respected newspaper. All that blowhard stuff from Trump about being  a self made genius hard working billionaire, who wouldn't show his taxes only because they were being audited never rang true, of course. you knew there was a lie in there someplace, maybe many. True to form, there were. The president and his supporters are already calling the facts a hoax, true to form. His supporters are ad dishonest and as immoral as he. The president deducted seventy thousand dollars from his tax bill - for haircuts. Admittedly, the haircuts were worth the money; the president has magnificent hair. Granted, he has long bragged about not paying any more taxes than he has to. now he says he has actually paid millions of dollars in taxes, when in fact he has paid fifteen hundred dollars over the past twelve years. Over the past twelve years he has paid about one tenth of the taxes I have paid, and I'm a retired school teacher, not a self proclaimed billionaire. When he says he always tries to lower his tax bill, it may be the only time he has ever told the truth in his misbegotten life. And so the cavalcade of scandals and horrible words and deeds continues unabated from this, the worst president in American history. A friend of mine, who teaches junior college, had an argument with one of his students. The student lamented that Trump is the worst president in American history. My friend tried to comfort him by moderating his view. No, explained my friend, we have had many bad presidents, many incompetent ones. I assure you, there have been several far worse than Trump. made curious by his own claim, my friend decided to do some research. He decided to read a biography and to study the administrations of every president of the United States, Washington through Obama. It took him a while to do this, but finally he completed the task. he said that when he had finished, finished studying every president in American history, he realized that he was wrong, dead wrong. He realized, wit horror, than no president even came close to Donald Trump in being a horrible president. Hands down, Trump is obviously by far the worst president in American history. I told my friend that I admired his hard work, but that I have a doctorate in history, and I could have saved him a lot of trouble.
