This is a really old filing and a very notable filing, one that pretty much lays the foundation for Trumps tax return strategy for almost two decades. I mean, who is going to really believe Trump didn't take advantage of the tax breaks? It's laughable. He took advantage of them, no question about it. Hell, that's why he's under constant audit. You keep invoking this huge tax break and the IRS is going to look it over and over again and make sure nothing is amiss.
