We had to read this twice. Postcards from Trumpland..
Yes, he's working for us now.. Yes, he's going to fix the system that so benefited him, yes, he's brilliant (or was it his accountant..) for taking advantage of the "great depression" of the early 1990s, etc. etc.
Quote:The Republican nominee labeled the US tax laws he took advantage of as unfair, despite that fact that he was, self-admittedly, a "big beneficiary" of them. "But I'm working for you now, I'm not working for Trump," Trump said, to raucous cheers. "Believe me." "Fixing our broken tax code is one of the main reasons I'm running for president," he said. "I've been saying from the beginning of this campaign how ridiculous, complex, and yes, unfair the tax system is. It is. It's an unfair system. And so complex that few people understand it. Fortunately, I understand it." Interestingly, Trump's tax plan does not address the loopholes he took advantage of in his 1995 return.TRUMP: I 'brilliantly used' tax laws to pay as little as possible - Business Insider
Trump also compared the economic atmosphere of the early 1990s to the Great Depression of the 1930s, saying that was the only time period that was worse economically in the country. He said that the Great Recession of the late 2000s was not quite as bad as the early 1990s.
"I was able to use the tax laws of this country and my business acumen to dig out of the real estate mess, you would call it a depression, when few others were able to do what I did,"
