Why is Trump denying that he said not paying taxes makes him smart in the debate?

    Trump didn't say it was smart to not pay income taxes. He said that not him specifically not paying any income taxes for 2 particular years because he didn't owe the IRS anything means he's smart. It is perfectly legitimate to interpret these things as one and the same, but they can hold different meanings as well. Allow me to demonstrate:

    * It's smart to manage your finances in a manner that results in you owing the IRS less or no taxes. This is what the tax return Hillary spoke of indicated.

    * It's NOT smart to not pay income taxes if you actually owe them to the IRS. This very well could be what Trump was denying when the reporter asked him about it.



    ALSO, the reporter initially said "It sounds like you admitted you hadn't paid federal taxes..." so the reporter was talking about more things he supposedly said than just the smart comment. That easily could have been what Trump was denying. Did Trump get up there and admit he hadn't paid federal taxes? Also, do federal taxes even exist if they aren't owed? If they don't exist, then saying "hadn't paid" may imply that he owed taxes and simply refused to pay them. Some examples:

    "He hadn't paid his employee."

    "He hadn't paid the hooker."

    ^ When these things are said, it is implied that the employee and hooker are OWED something. It's all semantics and English. Derek writes books n shit so he should be able to back me up on this.

    Instead of concluding that Trump lied about what he said and then forming everything around that, maybe you should be asking why he denied saying that and analyzing the situation from there.

    It's your right to legally minimize your tax bill. Supreme Court said so.

    It's really FS to brag about it if you're trying to become president, as well as brag about profiting off the housing collapse.
    His comment on housing was in 2006 during the bubble not the collapse. Billion dollar hedge funds swooped in after the collapse and made bank.

    It's called smart money. I suppose you put yours in a ponzi
    Sounds like you're speaking from experience. You must have been the dumb money.

    People don't want to pay taxes. Stay tuned for more on this developing story

    How much has Trump spent of his own money on his campaign? He's a fucktard for not biting the bullet, paying a decent percentage in federal income tax while releasing his return, all just to pander to the populace if nothing else. It would have been the cheapest source of good-will of the entire election.

    Shows he doesn't think ahead whatsoever. Every candidate should game their returns for at least two years.
    I saw some talking head saying polling shows 8% of voters care about Hillary's health. The only thing they care less about is Trump's taxes - 6%

    Other sources say different about both. Who the fuck knows but the election won't be decided on either as long as her meds are dialed in the rest of the way
    It's clear you DGAF and are voting Trump because he's your stop and frisk hero. In the tradition of constitutionalist conservatives before him.
    It's clear I own your stupid ass. Tell Hillary to send me your check bitch

    It's one thing to gargle Trump's balls. It's another to mimic his delusional rants.

    I have no idea what you are trying to write here, but if you watched the debates, he said it makes him smart that he didn't pay income taxes that year.

    Then an hour later, he tried to deny saying that.

    His defenders can twist all they want, but what he said was crystal clear.
    I fucked up the second sentence and now it's too late to edit. Let me clarify:

    <<snip>>

    The way the reporter summed up what he said was misleading

    <<snip>>

    There was nothing misleading about the reporter's phrasing. It was the same is Clinton's.

    Trump is backpedaling. I'm surprised you are trying to twist this into anything else. Trump backpedals 3 times a week.
    It's not that I have any clue what's going through Trump's mind...I just think it's more likely that Trump interprets things differently than most people.

    Most people like facts.

    Trumpy doesn't.
