NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump reported losses on his tax returns every year for a decade, including nearly $700 million in 2009 and $200 million in 2010, his longtime accountant testified Tuesday, confirming long-held suspicions about the former president’s tax practices.

Donald Bender, a partner at Mazars USA LLP who spent years preparing Trump’s personal tax returns, said Trump’s reported losses from 2009 to 2018 included net operating losses from some of the many businesses he owns through his Trump Organization.

“There are losses for all these years,” said Bender, who was granted immunity to testify at the company’s criminal tax fraud trial in Manhattan.

The short exchange amounted to a rare public discussion of Trump’s taxes — which the Republican has fought to keep secret — even if there was no obvious connection to the case at hand.

2. Yes, TDFG's tax return is like yours or mine, just add 6 zeros on the end of everything

7. Except Line 13: "Amount owed"

For which for two years, that we know of, was $750. No extra zeroes.

3. I saw Michael Cohen on MSNBC

earlier and he is sure the shit is going to hit the fan soon. He said that Weisselberg is old and an idiot if he plans on protecting tRump at his age, he will die in prison while tRump goes free? If anyone has an issue with the fucking moron it is him.

4. But, someone right here said today there is no evidence MF45 cheated on his taxes.

How ever will I know who to believe?????

5. So, this "legendary master of the business universe" is shown again to be the great huckster.

Color me surprised.

[Justice matters.]

6. Previous reports on his forms between 1985 and 1995 showed hair furhair lost a billion...

making the magat's orange jezuss the biggest loser in the entire history of the IRS.

No wonder his corrupt spawn said the majority of their finances after that came from Russia.

Like DUH!

8. Maybe that's why he's been so secretive and slippery about showing his taxes and other financials.

He's carried on for years (and built quite a public reputation) about what a genius businessman he is. If we all could see his failings in those tax forms, we'd all know he's all talk and nothing more. Just a fancy yellow-haired poseur.

9. it's not like we don't all know WHY he doesn't want his returns released

HE DOESN'T PAY ANY FUCKING TAXES

10. He has to keep three amounts of income straight in his head.

The one he tells the public which is too high, the one he tells the IRS which is too low, and the real one which is just enough for golden toilets and Louis XIV décor.
