Stop saying Donald Trump is “broke.” Does a broke guy have a private 757? Trump isn’t broke, he’s a rich guy with a high income who doesn’t pay nearly as much income tax as he should. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/09/donald-trumps-taxes-show-hes-not-broke-just-tax-avoidant.html
If you see a tax document that says Donald Trump has no net income, you should take it seriously, but not literally. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/09/donald-trumps-taxes-show-hes-not-broke-just-tax-avoidant.html
If you call Trump broke, he'll deny it, and most people won't believe you, bc look at him, he's rich. His best ratings in polls have to do with business/economy. But say he pays little tax on his high income, he won't deny it, and his refusal to release taxes will support you.
I think @mattyglesias has the right question for people who look at the Trump tax information and conclude he's broke because his golf courses lost so much money: If he's really lost $162 million running Doral, why hasn't he sold it or closed it? https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/09/donald-trumps-taxes-show-hes-not-broke-just-tax-avoidant.html
I guess you could say "because he's such a vain idiot." But that's a lot of vain idiocy, even for Trump. Seems likelier to me that he hasn't really lost $162 million running Doral.
