The same MDS age cancelled in his first term because of START II?

This is the point I am trying to make, Obama was soft on Russia too ( from the beginning)
He even deluded himself and tried a reset.

If liberals believe that Trump is soft on Russia, they have to concede Obama did the same when he got into office. In the end thou, he learned quickly that both countries have different goals. The same thing will happen to Trump. Even the GOP is not united on a soft approach, so I still don't understand the big fuss about Russia.

I watched that special myself and nothing about the despotic Pootin surprises me anymore. The Russians will rise up against him one day. Trump alliance with Pootin will be his undoing in America because Americans sure don't want a Russian stooge as their leader.

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. Stay Woke.

How does a billionaire make only a $150 million in a year? Sounds like poor management to me, unless this is indeed smokescreen.

Whether you’re a devoted member of the Grab Your Wallet boycott or you’re enthusiastically buying Ivanka Trump, chances are you already know that many of the Trump family’s products are made overseas.

But did you know that even as President Donald Trump promised to create jobs by following “two simple rules: Buy American and hire American” in his January inauguration speech, huge shipments of his daughter’s line were reportedly on the way to the U.S. from China?

More than 53.5 metric tons of Ivanka Trump-branded shoes, bags, and clothes were sailing to American ports in eight shipments “even as he spoke,” according to customs receipts obtained by French news organization Agence France-Presse.

President Trump promised to bring more factory jobs to this country and accused China of stealing manufacturing work. But at least one shipment per business day of Ivanka Trump’s shoes and other offerings continues to be sent from China, according to the AFP investigation, and the Global Times reported last month that a Chinese factory has already received an order for 10,000 Ivanka Trump shoes for next season.

In fact, “almost all of her goods are made overseas,” according to the New York Times. The paper reported back in Dec. 2016 that the brand outsources internationally to avoid “costly and impractical” factors involved with manufacturing in the United States. Ivanka Trump admitted in an interview that she “didn’t have any experience in production and manufacturing,” describing herself as an entrepreneur rather than a fashion designer. Her imported goods tracked by AFP were licensed by three different U.S. companies; one declined comment to the agency while the others didn’t respond. A request for comment from The Huffington Post to the first daughter’s company was not immediately returned.

Donald Trump’s own products are made in countries including India, China and Mexico. In 2012 he famously told David Letterman his ties and shirts were made “some place,” only to be pointedly reminded by the former late night host that they are, in fact, made in China and Bangladesh.

that was what just occurred to me as well

maybe the dear leader was hiding his tax returns because they would give the lie to his bs about being a great businessman.

Lucasbalo:
I am not even worried about his 2005 tax return. I want to see the last tax return to see his dealings with the Chinese banks and the Russian oligarchs. It's a diversionary tactics by Der Fuhrer team and some people are falling for it. On the side note, what's it with the White Nationalists elements in the RepubliKKKan Party that their racism is getting emboldened. Worthless Congressman Steve ' The Racist ' King tweeting Western civilization don't need children that are not White to promote their culture?. Waiting for the Uncle Tom's and Auntie Hmmmmm to defend that since they love their White masters. Party full of Racists and White Nationalists and that's the RepubliKKKan Party.

GINA things

So what's the connection between a personal (one year's) annual income and an individual's 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:


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.

Missy89:


let me ask you a question. Why do you think a whole race should have the same political views? White Republicans don't call white democrats traitors you know?

paschu:
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.

Trump means business regardles of whose ox ...

paschu:
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 .

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.
