Trump's Taxes Show Chronic Losses and Years of Tax Avoidance

Source: New York Times

Donald J. Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency. In his first year in the White House, he paid another $750.

He had paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years — largely because he reported losing much more money than he made.

As the president wages a re-election campaign that polls say he is in danger of losing, his finances are under stress, beset by losses and hundreds of millions of dollars in debt coming due that he has personally guaranteed. Also hanging over him is a decade-long audit battle with the Internal Revenue Service over the legitimacy of a $72.9 million tax refund that he claimed, and received, after declaring huge losses. An adverse ruling could cost him more than $100 million.

The tax returns that Mr. Trump has long fought to keep private tell a story fundamentally different from the one he has sold to the American public.

Another day, another Amy Cooper...

A pregnant Upper West Side socialite calls the NYPD, falsely claiming a black woman 'in her neighborhood' was 'attacking' her.
The white woman, who identifies herself as Svitlana Flom, 34, can be heard telling officers she was being 'threatened' while footage does not support this claim. Flom, who is married to millionaire car salesman Gary Flom, also goes on to accuse the woman of 'harassing' her and 'threatening' her children; the clip posted online does not show that.
Sharing the footage online @_brownsugarbaby said: 'From 6:15pm - 7:31pm this woman, Svitlana Flom, felt the need to not only approach me but call the cops MULTIPLE TIMES ON ME!!

According to the article, this woman is part-owner of two restaurants "Maison Vivienne" in NYC and Southampton...decent people in NYC know where not to go now... It is listed on Yelp and on Tripadvisor

Worth binge-watching on Netflix: Pandemic: How to Prevent an Outbreak

Just finished watching this six-part documentary and have shared with all I know.
Very important illustration of past mistakes and with hope for the future, but most of all it illustrates how much we need, not just nationally guaranteed health care, but a universally guaranteed health care.
