Mindfulness: Technically speaking, Yes. Zero for practically. A microwave cannot turn into a camera if it didn't already have a camera. Your phone doesn't turn into a camera because it already has a camera. I figure Kellyanne was trying to sound smart and informed but ended up sounding dumb. And even her corrections made her even more dumb. "I am not in the business of having evidence", this from a counselor to the POTUS? LoL. 3 Likes |

His 2005 taxes are out, he made $150 million and paid $38 million in income taxes. People are saying it's the weekly smokescreen and the Trump team intentionally leaked this. Everytime the ship is sinking, they either invent a story to make Trump look like a victim or put out something ridiculous to keep everyone talking. This might be smokescreen for big Comey announcement Wednesday on Trump-Russia investigations. Don't be distracted from the real stories here- the disastrous TrumpCare and Russia connection.

It's a diversionary tactics by Der Fuhrer team and some people are falling for it.

So what's the connection between a person's one year income and his total net worth? ![]() ![]() Do you realize that if the net profit of around 120m was 10% of annual investment, the equity that generated that ROI would be at least 1.2b? Now kindly add that singular equity to other immature investments and non-profit generating assets and tell me why it was such a bad outcome. Would also be good if you tell us how much Bezoz's Amazon (plus other ventures) has been turning out in profits over the last 10 years. And, in comparison, let us know why it was justifiable to imply that Trump was guilty of mismanagement because of his 2005 $150m profit. LordReed: 2 Likes |

This report just shows that Trump is SUPER authentic. His desire to #MAGA with American trades and American labor is not a vandetta born out of envy. Rather he realizes that the Left Wing has regulated businesses out of America over the years (with their "costly and impractical” factors" as the report clearly pointed out ![]() Thus, Trump is poised to fix those "costly and impractical” factors" and thus #MAGA so that Trump organization and Ivanka plus a ton of other American SME will finally begin to thrive in American soil. This will not mean a ban on Chinese importation, it will simply make American manufacturing more attractive. ![]() ![]() oyb: 1 Like |

paschu: Trump says he is worth $10 billion so you mean to tell me with all his vaunted smarts he can only make $150 million in a year on a worth of $10 billion? What then makes him a great businessman? How do you build billions by earning 10% ROI if as he says he started with a small loan of a million? OK if as you say he is only worth $1.2billion then he is not as rich as he claims. The point of all this is that nothing is adding up based on his many statements about his business acumen or his wealth. 1 Like |

So, did he say that he was worth $10b before 2005? Again, I don't think it's objective to judge a multi-decade tycoon poorly because of his one year income. I tell you, try to find out how much Amazon makes as profit. You'd see that Trump performed incredibly well for turning out $150m in pure profit before tax in 2005 as an INDIVIDUAL. See, as at today, Bezos is said to be worth about $72B. Do you know why? It's primarily because he owns about 84 million shares in Amazon (at $850+ per share). But guess what, Amazon has been barely making profits for so many years until 2016. In fact 2016 was about the second year Amazon managed to reach $1B in annual profits since its establishment in 1994 . See it for yourself: http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/amzn/financials?query=income-statement https://www.statista.com/statistics/276418/amazons-quarterly-net-income/ http://www.investopedia.com/stock-analysis/031414/amazon-never-makes-money-no-one-cares-amzn-aapl-wag-azo.aspx https://revenuesandprofits.com/amazon-vs-walmart-revenues-and-profits-1995-2014/ http://www.ibtimes.com/amazon-nearly-20-years-business-it-still-doesnt-make-money-investors-dont-seem-care-1513368 In fact Amazon's corporate profit in 2005 was $359M Now, remeber we are talking about America's arguably contemporary retail tech monopoly here. Yet, for some unclear reasons, you assume that an INDIVIDUAL who earned $150M as profit in 2005 was not smart. That's funny. Bros, tax is paid on gross income NOT on networth. So, again, Trump's 2005 tax report has zero thing to do with his networth. In fact, just like Bezos, Trump's shares in Trump Organization alone makes him a billionare EVEN IF HE EARNS ZERO DIVIDENDS FROM THOSE SHARES THIS YEAR. LordReed: 1 Like |

paschu: Mental gymnastics again. America first not profits first. If he or his daughter cared that much about Americans, if they were the tiniest bit patriotic and not hypocritical business persons, they would use American manufacturing. Outsourcing to countries like China and Bangladesh where people can literally burn to death is the way of a predatory businessman. If that is what you want Trump to bring to the US with your celebrated deregulation, rest assured, the ensuing worker accident lawsuits will kill whatever so called gains there are. You forget Trump also has exploitation of undocumented Polish workers on his resume? 2 Likes |

paschu: Where did I say tax is on net worth? As at 2005 Trump was claiming to be worth over $6 billion, the $10 billion is from his more recent claims so I was only using it as hyperbole. Now you can't tell me he built an additional $4 billion worth on a 10% ROI even over the span of 10 years. He is either under reporting his financials or he is over stating his abilities or worth. Yes I know we shouldn't judge him by a 1 year report but whatelse have we to go on when he refuses to release his tax returns? Note that this 2005 we are seeing is a bare summary, no details. The IRS have stated that audit or no audit he is free to release his returns so what's the holdup? Is Trump a good businessman? Yeah probably, as all things he'll have his good days and his bad days. But is he an awesome business man/negotiator? Not likely, nothing concrete shows that and until he releases his tax returns no way to know for sure. 1 Like |
