Trump. He was accused of i disagree. He accused of not paying taxes and tried to defend it. And his attacks on, on mexicans he didnt try to defend. It would you pay more in taxes than youre supposed to . Well, not necessarily. You would take every legal deduction like trump does and like Hillary Clinton did. Last year, in 2015 she deducted 700,000. That is an unjust law. Its an unjust law . The law of not paying taxes 20 years he paid 100 million in taxes. We dont know that. We do know that. Were invested in him, we dont know. You should put the Clinton Foundation and Trump Foundation side by side and make a judgment. Dont you think its corrupt for Hillary Clinton to take money as secretary of state . Isnt it a conflict of interest . For the Clinton Foundation. She didnt. There is no evidence she did that. That is an accusation. The ap said 55 of the people she let in to see her, 55 donated to the Clinton Foundation. In those instances, the clint yn foundation has a very high, high, ac
