    Lest we forget: New York Times claimed that Trump may have avoided taxes for 20 years :)

    Do you actually believe he paid his taxes in 2005 only?

    Maybe 2005 was released for a reason. That was the year Melania was up for citizenship so it had to be sterling, and they filed jointly. http://www.mediaite.com/online/maddow-trumps-2005-tax-return-had-to-be-sterling-so-melania-could-get-her-citizenship/
    Anyhow I'm less interested in how much he paid in taxes. I care more about his foreign, especially Russian ties, and whether or not he's a Russian stooge. Hillary released years of her tax returns, The other Presidents have done so. He promised to release his. The "under audit" excuse is lame. Even a risk aversive lawyer wouldn't recommend not releasing any of them. It's more bizarre flimflam. Do you actually believe his excuses for not releasing them?

    Major meeting about veterans doesn't occur. Trump publicly snubs Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin who wasn't invited.

    Trump meets with the CEO of Marvel Entertainment of Hollywood.

    http://www.politico.com/story/2017/03/trump-veterans-affair-meeting-doesnt-happen-236221

    excerpt:

    "A "major meeting" on veterans affairs slated for Friday evening that President Donald Trump publicly announced at the White House earlier in the day did not take place, according to pool reports.

    Flanked by representatives of veterans groups, Trump said he would be meeting Friday evening at his Mar-a-Lago club with members of his veterans advisory board, including Marvel Entertainment CEO Ike Perlmutter.

    Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin, sitting to Trump's left, immediately indicated he would not be attending.

    The White House did not respond to a question as to why the meeting did not occur.

    A pool report late Friday confirmed that "the veterans meeting is not taking place tonight" and said officials assured that more information would be provided Saturday.

    A Saturday pool report indicated Trump would be dining Saturday night with Perlmutter and his wife, with the dinner closed to media."

    Trump snubbed himself and Germany by saying that he and Merkel share something in common: both allegedly being wiretapped by Obama.

    Trump insulted Britain by claiming that Britain spied on Trump on behalf of Obama.

    Trump insulted Germany and Britain on the same day with his crass remarks.

    Trump debased the FBI when he claimed it spied on Trump Tower for Obama.

    Trump aggravated various members of Congress such as Graham and Nunes by calling on them to investigate Obama allegedly wiretapping Trump but providing no evidence for the claim.

    All of these people were insulted because Trump is upset that he is being investigated for ties with the Russian government and wants Obama to be investigated too.

    It's an approach from the Trump business playbook that he used for decades: play the role of victim and file counter-suits (as President, counter-investigations).

    Trump: Being Wiretapped by Obama Is the One Thing Merkel and I Have in Common
    By Eric Levitz

    http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/03/trump-merkel-and-i-were-both-wiretapped-by-obama.html

    excerpt:

    "Trump did not defend the substance of his accusation on Friday afternoon. But he did defend Spicer’s slander of GCHQ.

    “We said nothing. All we did was quote a certain very talented legal mind who was the one responsible for saying that on television,” Trump said. “That was a statement made by a very talented lawyer on Fox, so you shouldn’t be talking to me, you should be talking to Fox.”

    The “very talented lawyer” whom Sean Spicer quoted was Judge Andrew Napolitano — a conservative pundit who has said that 9/11 “couldn’t possibly have been done the way the government told us.”

    Which is to say: The president of the United States just argued that it’s perfectly appropriate for the White House to spread conspiracy theories that implicate close allies — so long as a 9/11 truther on Fox News spread them first."

    Ivanka Trump imports 53 tons of merchandise from China since the election. No outrage from Donald who incidentally has his own line of Trump clothing imported from Asia and Central America.

    Trump can always accuse Bangladesh of currency manipulation and say that it forced him to import from Bangladesh, the same excuse he has made for importing from China.

    https://sputniknews.com/us/201703131051542463-ivanka-trump-imported-chinese-goods-us/

    http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/26/politics/trump-clothing-foreign-made/

    excerpt from second link:

    "That same year, shipping forms obtained by CNN show Trump shirts were being manufactured and shipped from Bangladesh, where the average factory worker makes just 33 cents an hour, according to Nova. CNN cannot determine if the people making Trump's clothing were paid a different amount or the conditions they were working under.
    Bangladesh "has the lowest wages and the worst and most unsafe working conditions of any major apparel exporting country," Nova said."

    I've heard Putin killed some people in Syria, the Crimea and Ukraine. Some domestic dissidents too, I understand. Funny neither you nor our President mentioned that. But you think Obama's smoking is a gas. Curious.

    But you show us a Russian poster of Obama smoking and charging him with killings and think it's hilarious? Where's your sense of proportionality? What message are we supposed to gather from that? (I hope those Alt Right and Russian sources that you favor have told you that Obama isn't President anymore).A Trump-style stink bomb designed to divert our attention from the possible collusion between Trumpsters and the mass murderer in Russia?

    The Tweet in Chief is at it again:
    No, that's why it's being investigated.







    Yes, go after the squawking chickens, not the fox in the hen house.

    I can't speak for anyone else that made posts recently but I can find humor in a propaganda ad and still not agree with the major political powers.
