out their extensive reporting that they have, he was a million mayor by the time he was 8 years old. that is not self-made at all. he s known to not tell the truth, but this this is big. what do you think this does to the president? i don t think he was that precocious at 8 to make a million dollars a year. but what s interesting to me is the big picture this is going to fit in, and the reaction his core and people in general are going to have. this came up in the nixon years, and it became actually a part of his impeachment proceedings where they considered an article of impeachment for his creting cheating on his taxes where they overvalued a gift he made of his vice presidential papers and the public got it. they got tax fraud. they didn t understand all the nuances of obstruction of justice but the man on the street understood not paying taxes so it will be interesting to see how this plays. and karen, to what kaitlan
presumably will be. it goes against everything president trump has fashioned himself as being for the last few decades, and arguably part of what helped him win the presidency. he painted himself as this self-made billionaire. he inspired a lot of his supporters into thinking that because he had a small loan of $1 million, which he paid interest on and repaid to his father, even though this reporting shows he actually did not do that, he actually received a lot more and didn t pay a lot of it back, that is what inspired a lot of people to feel like he was one of them, that they also could take themselves from a position that he was in and build a vast wealth of empire a vast empire of wealth similar to what he did and kate, we often hear that when we go to the rallies like the one president trump is at tonight in mississippi, we hear this from people all the time, they left him off the hook because they say he s not a politician, he s a businessman. and that even goes to when he crit
seven attempts seven motions, one on the floor, six in committee. the first one was on valentine s day last year. the last one was this past month when we were in session. asking the republicans to stop covering up the trump tax returns. this is just part of a pattern. my last motion followed his praise of paul manafort after his conviction that related to extensive tax evasion. we have a pattern here that today we learned so much more from the distant past, but this is the president who said a couple years ago that he was smart for not paying any taxes. but congressman, as you well know, you re saying republicans covering up for the president. there s no law that requires that a president or presidential candidate release their tax returns. i know that s something that you called for but do you think this could get you any closer to seeing his tax returns? i certainly think it will come january with a new congress. it is true there is not a law.
they paid $52.2 million, which is 5%. what could that mean, though, here, if they re trying to avoid taxes on a billion dollars? so, it can mean two things. i think to some extent, rob is right, that some people would be surprised to know what estate planning is and how parts of this are almost certainly legal. i think the most damning parts are the parts, as we ve already heard, the mark-up scheme, because that goes beyond tax law. it goes into the idea of creating a fake entity that is has a residence listed as the president s cousin at his house and they re marking things up by 100% and 120% and then essentially passing those costs along to completely innocent people who live in trump-owned buildings in the 1990s in new york. and so completely innocent people are being made to suffer in order for the president s family to engage in tax
a very difficult time. and the president is not the only one who feels this way. his supporters, his family, echoing his concern. these women are angry at something has happened to them in their lives, and their rage and anger, they take it out now on the country or on all men or men in the powerful majority, which are white christian men and so forth. i got boys and i got girls and when i see what s going on right now, it s scary. who are you scared most for. right now, i d say my sons. and when asked what his message is to women today, the president said, quote, women are doing great. outfront now, rob is a member of president trump s 2020 reelect advisory council and former director of strategic communications for hillary clinton s 2016 campaign. rod, do you agree with the president? are you scared and angry right now? i m not scared, i m not angry, but i think i know what he meant by that and i think
