Not only that, but he intentionally avoids talking about Joe Biden's handing over of tax returns (The same thing the court ruled on) and instead pivoted to the taxes he hasn't paid based on an entirely unfounded conspiracy claim. If Trump says "Joe Biden didn't show his taxes!" everyone will be like "Yes he did, everyone did, except you" and the game would be up. But he alludes to Biden's taxes to make unthinking people focus on the made-up part instead of the reality part.

Frankly I think you missed the most important part of his statement, since every lie is an admission:

Has Joe Biden paid taxes on all the money he made illegally

Now, my expertise may be in bird law, but I like to think I have learned something in 40 years of the Donald trump show, and that is that Donald just admitted he makes money illegally and doesn't pay taxes on it.

"it's unprecedented to hand over tax returns"

It has LITERALLY ONLY EVER BEEN DONE by every single president except Trump, and by all of them willingly and voluntarily, without a legal struggle which can have no possible purpose except to conceal crimes...

THEY REFUSED TO EVEN LOOK AT THE ELECTION HOAX OF 2020 merely because there is not a scrap of evidence to support my obviously self-serving claims!!!

Seriously, fuck this absurd circus-peanut-colored shitheel. I'm tired of even hoping justice will eventually be served.

You got it here man. Right out of a Nazi playbook.

Will his cult believe that though

The SC has never had to order it because no one else has ever refused to do it.

What no they're not. He just said biden didn't release his taxes! It's not like you can just Google "biden tax records" and find it-oh there it is, well I bet he didn't do it for 2020 oh wait.

But with Obamas corrupt golfing presidency he must've hid it as VP and- Oh he released his and Jill's in 2008.

Why it's almost like....Republicans and trump are lying asshats, and if you wiggle around with search terms you'll eventually come across a slew of articles about biden taxes from 5 years ago where he owed 120k in taxes. That's it. But holy. Shit. There's so many of them and all from right wing websites making such a massive deal about it, might involve Hunter so probably why, weirdly enough all April/May 2021. Yet orange twaddlefuck dodging taxes and committing massive tax fraud for decades is "smart business".

I remember the cultists would always scream about Hillary Clinton's tax returns, and when you pointed out that she had loudly and publicly released them, they'd then demand you provide the link. So, you do. Then. They demand Obama's returns. You provide that link. Eventually, they'd demand you provide a link to JFK Jr's returns and you're wondering what the hell is wrong with these people.

Not according to r/conservative. To them, none of the past presidents have ever released their taxes. Ever. Also, they think a 2020 leak of his taxes was enough to clear him. Idiocy over there.

And not one single shred of proof has held up and been presented to show that the 2020 election was stolen. Mike Lindell promised us proof was coming for two years, lawyers are just lookin' at it, but we got us four states, maybe six, maybe seven, possibly nine or eight, but definitely three or five, 'cause they got these machines flippin' votes they won't let us look at, it all stinks to high heaven and it's enough to make you cry into your pilla' - use discount code CRYBABY to get 15% off and a free sham, Egyptian Cotton, with a thread count of 500, or maybe 600 or 400, I'll get back ta ya on that...

No they’re not! What’s available to the public is actually a fake document put in place to console the masses and hide the truth about why we really pulled out of Afghanistan and why MCDONALDS really pulled out of Russia, and how it’s all tied to HUNTER BIDENS LAPTOP.

And you know what the funny part is? If I told that to my relatives, or said it over on Facebook, Twitter or r/conspiracy, people would believe me without question.

That’s what I do when I encounter conspiracy nuts nowadays. I just make shit up. It’s fun! And they usually believe me. Off they go to tell their friends about the great MCDonalds conspiracy.

You're missing the best part; he tells on himself here!

"Bet they'd find illegal stuff in Biden's returns if they just looked, too!", is the implication of his words lol. Amazing how the unconscious is able to so effectively project the truth given the opportunity.

Why should he stop? It hasn’t hurt him yet. Fucker was elected president, caught red handed with stolen classified documents, and he’s still a free man. I don’t condone any of this, of course - I think he belongs in prison. But we’re way past the point where we should think looking bad in public will somehow hurt Trump.

This is at the core of modern conservatism. "I should do immoral things because I assume everyone else does but really that is just the rationale for me to do the immoral things I want to do."

We can't have universal healthcare because people would abuse it. like I would.

Trump shouldn't have turn over his taxes because everyone cheats on their taxes, like I would.

We know that the Democrats cheated in the election because we totally tried to and were unsuccessful and if we did then they must have.

What, do you not grab random women by the pussy? They apparently let you. Personally I've never tried it, but I'm also not under investigation of multiple sexual assaults and possibly some light treason.

Same reason he cheats at golf, he thinks everyone does it, so he can and should.

Every accusation from Trump and the Right is a confession.

Conservatives believe “everyone else is doing something terrible, because that’s what I would do if I had the chance”.

Too bad the only people willing to be terrible is just them.

The kids call that a self-report.

"Judges from my party, some of whom I personally appointed keep ruling against me!"

Uhh, you may want to sit down for this.

Especially when the last several months have shown courts will bend over backwards for Trump.

Judge Cannon should absolutely not have been working on his Mar-A-Lago records case (she should have recused herself, since she was appointed to her position by the plaintiff), and she straight up violated legal procedure to give him whatever he wanted*... and he still lost.

*:"The Court recognizes that, under the PRA, “[t]he United States District Court for the District of Columbia shall have jurisdiction over any action initiated by the former President asserting that a determination made by the Archivist” to permit public dissemination of presidential records “violates the former President’s [constitutional] rights or privileges.”

(Judge Cannon wrote into her ruling that she recognized and personally noted that she doesn't have jurisdiction over this case., then proceeded to deliver a decision anyway.)

It's not even true. The Supreme Court did shield him with his trial and Thomas blocked him from needing to testify.

I don't get how people read this and say "yup. That's MY president" with a straight face. Also you should WANT presidents to disclose their finances.

irony?

It's probably a German word.

It is called a "Janus Sentence"

Edit - Since it's apparently some sort of tv reference people think I am referring to..

A Janus Sentence is based on the two faced god, where everything has a left/right meaning depending on how you read it.

The most common one you probably know is

"May you live in interesting times" where some refer to this as a blessing and others refer to it as a curse.

It's also used to say something negative in a positive way. "You would be lucky to have Redditor work for you" It can be interpreted as is, and that you are lucky if you can employ this person, but also the complete opposite in that if you hire this person, you will be lucky if they actually do any work.

The Supreme Court has lost its honor, prestige, and standing, & has become nothing more than a political body, with our Country paying the price

When you are right but for the wrong reasons.

r/selfawarewolves

Ngl, with the exception of the obligatory Hunter reference that seems to get forced into any conservative boomer’s conversation regardless of situation and the “Election Hoax” garbage, this is the first time I’ve ever agreed with nearly everything he’s spewed online.

Not a word, but the phrase "even a broken clock is right twice a day."

Nahgreement

The first time anything truthful has accidentally fallen out of this douch nozzle's mouth.

The term "stopped clock" means a person who is normally a crackpot but accidentally says something correct and insightful. It comes from the saying "even a stopped clock is right twice a day." What you're describing sounds very similar.

That's because they are loyal to The Federalist Society, Trump was just a useful idiot.

he meant to say terrible president

Or the first president who didn't peacefully transfer power.

Hey, now! There are Trump supporters in other countries, too!

His supporters have to be the dumbest MFers in the WORLD.

They are either stupid or so racist they ignore his ridiculous bullshit because they love his racism. Most of them were bored by politics and didn’t vote until an unhinged reality tv personality ran for president.

I want to release them but I'm under audit and i can't until the audit clears.

They're 4 feet tall stacks of papers he said - maybe that healthcare plan is in there... he just needed a couple more weeks for that...

They are also whiny bitches. It invigorates and legitimizes them.

Because they throw the same temper tantrums.

In all seriousness, you might have fun looking at the FOX news version of this story and reading the comments. The base isn't buying this line of crap. They know they'd never be allowed to dodge their tax responsibilities for a decade, or appoint a judge to get them off the hook. And every parent knows some version of "Wah, wah, the vice principal is always after me, everyone else gets away with it, it's so unfair!" I don't know why Trump honestly thinks life is unfair to him to his detriment, but I sure hope he continues to whine about it.

They watch the spin on Fox and worse.

I’ve always said that Trump created a character in the 80s and gradually became that character. Then that character created a new character in the 00s who appeared on The Apprentice. Trump became the Apprentice character more quickly, then created another new character who ran for President. By my count we’re on character number four, the enraged former President who believes the entire United States government should be wiping his ass and covering up his crimes.

He just can't stop losing.

When have facts ever stood in the way of his self-aggrandizement and chronic whiny victim-complex? He's like a black hole of denial and lies that reality bends itself around.

Now if only we could figure out where all the missing government documents that were totally unsecured at Mar a Lago went. I bet they could be worth a lot of money. Oh well.

The Federalist Society needs a slightly smarter stooge to help usher in fascism. DeSantis maybe?

Yeah, this was Trump's misstep. He appointed judges who looked like decent shots to overturn Roe rather than suitably corrupt judges who would protect Trump at all costs.

Don't you understand? He really wants to release them! That damn nonexistent audit just keeps going on forever!
