{UAH} Ocen, Allan, SP, Gwokto// Trump is officially America's No 1 tax cheat

Folks;

To paraphrase a friend, it don't look good for Trump. 

It's now painfully obvious, from the weekend New York Times expose', why Trump never wanted his tax returns released: dude owes tons of $$ in taxes, and is worthy less than he claims. 

More interesting, though, is this nugget from his son, Erick. Back in 2014, Erick said his family doesn't get money from US financial institutions; they get their money from Russia!

This would validate concerns that a large motivation for Trump to keep his financial records private is to hide the source of his loans. Let's see how this plays out this week, after he's reported to have paid a mere $750  in federal taxes in 2016 and 2017.

Andrew Weissman, a prosecutor who served as one of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's top lieutenants during the investigation into 2016 Russian election interference, on Monday connected revelations about President Trump's tax information to Moscow.

The tax information, obtained by The New York Times, has sparked speculation that Trump may owe hundreds of millions of dollars to an unknown funding source that kept his businesses alive over the years. Weissman suggested that Trump's son, Eric Trump, may have provided the geographic location of the money, if not the exact source, all the way back in 2014, before the elder Trump had announced his 2016 presidential campaign. "We have all the funding we need out of Russia," Eric Trump said in 2014.

Weissmann is just one of many wondering if there's a common thread between the tax information, the 2016 election, and the president's foreign policy strategy, but the Times notes its investigation was unable to reveal "any previously unreported connections to Russia," so the situation remains unclear.
