Over the weekend, three pages of Donald Trumps 1995 tax return were leaked, revealing that he declared a 916 million loss from his three Atlantic City casinos. Thats right. audience booing im worried about him, too. laughter donald trump lost money on casinos. But heres the thing, as a real estate developer, he was able to use that loss to wipe out more than 50 million a year in taxable income over 18 years. Well, when life gives you lemons, dont pay taxes. Now, the idea that trump hasnt paid taxes in nearly 20 years is bound to be unpopular with whats the word people.

Stephen yes, only a genius can lose 1 billion running a casino. applause how loose were his slots .

You think it is a good example to avoid, to basically being able to avoid paying federal taxes . Well, first of all, a lot of the people that are poor take advantage of loopholes and pay no taxes. Those are loopholes, also, and they pay no taxes. Stephen yeah, those crafty poor people with their loopholes. audience booing and dont forget the cunning homeless who have found a way around property tax. laughter applause laughter so, giuliani thinks trump is a genius, and donald trump agrees tweetbragging i know our complex tax laws better than anyone who has ever run for president and am the only one who can fix them. Yes, hes the only one who can fix our tax code. Just like Hannibal Lecter is the only one who could catch buffalo bill. Id like to help you fix the tax code, clarisse, but first hand over hillarys liver. Im going to eat them with some fava beans and a nice chianti. applause no, no. laughter but its not like donald trump does his own taxes. Hes not there doing the numbers. Shouldnt we really be voting mitnick. Something about the mitt that sounds so president ial. laughter and trump wasnt done making news.

Stephen and they sure as hell dont make president ial candidates like they used to, right . cheers and applause tiny, tiny hands. Tiny hands. Tiny hands. At the same rally, trump urged his supporters to go out on election day and perform their civic duty. Youve got to go out and youve got to get your friends and youve got to get everybody you know and youve got to watch your polling booths because i hear too many stories about pennsylvania, certain areas. I hear too many bad stories, and we cant lose an election because of youknowwhatim talking about. laughter stephen yeah. No. I have no idea what youre talking about. You left out all the nouns. laughter applause he doesnt say everything. But being a demagogue is like jazz piano riff stephen thank you. piano riff accusations have also surfaced this weekend that trump sexually harassed women who worked on the apprentice.
