Isn\u2019t it amazing, folks, it was just yesterday, <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2019\/05\/07\/democrats-wont-stop-chasing-trumps-taxes\/\">just yesterday, right here on this program, I was talking about how strange it is that nobody in the IRS had leaked Trump\u2019s taxes<\/a>, after all of this time, knowing full well that the IRS is a government agency and that means there\u2019s got to be a lot of career leftists in there, which means there have to be a bunch of people in the IRS that despise Trump.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrat Party has been going bonkers trying to get hold of Trump\u2019s tax returns because they think&#8230; You know what they still think? There was some locoweed on the Judiciary Committee today that made the point yet again, or tried to, lying through his teeth. Steve Cohen. This is the guy that had the Kentucky Fried Chicken last week when Barr refused to show up, trying to make Barr look like a chicken, like a coward. He\u2019s actually trying to say that the tax return story New York Times (sputtering) &#8220;pretty much&#8230; pretty much gives us an indication that Trump might have been kept afloat by the Russians.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This guy lost over a billion dollars. He should be in jail. The Russians&#8230; The Russians kept Trump afloat.&#8221; That\u2019s what they want to find out. They\u2019ve wanted to know this in Trump\u2019s tax returns ever since the campaign of 2016. I was marveling yesterday that it hadn\u2019t leaked. Just yesterday, I was marveling. We\u2019re talking about it. Well, the New York Times must have heard us because they put out a supposed blockbuster report that claimed data they have been given on Trump\u2019s taxes show that Trump took nearly a billion-dollar tax loss in the early nineties, which may have allowed him to go without paying income tax for 10 years.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/10\/02\/us\/politics\/donald-trump-taxes.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-308579\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-NY-Times-050819-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-NY-Times-050819-001.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-NY-Times-050819-001-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>How many of you upon hearing that said, &#8220;Wait a minute. I knew this. I\u2019ve heard this.&#8221; You have heard this because this isn\u2019t new. This is an old story recycled. I\u2019ve got the audio sound bites from my program, from the archives, to demonstrate this, which we will do as the program unfolds. The New York Times reported practically the same thing back on October 2, 2016. Only back then, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/10\/02\/us\/politics\/donald-trump-taxes.html\">New York Times claimed that Trump might not have paid any taxes for more than 18 year<\/a>s. It\u2019s funny how nobody seems to remember this.<\/p>\n<p>This is an old story being recycled, that Trump didn\u2019t pay any taxes \u2019cause he took a billion-dollar loss and was able to write off that loss so he didn\u2019t owe any taxes over all those years. That story has been out there. It\u2019s been reported before. So this is the recycling of a story that claims to be new because there is a linkage (they say now) to Trump\u2019s actual returns. Although the Times have been very, very careful to point out (impression), &#8220;We haven\u2019t seen the returns.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That would be illegal! We haven\u2019t seen the returns. We have seen, uh, written transcripts of Trump\u2019s returns from people who are legally allowed to have them.&#8221; Well, who would that be? Trump\u2019s tax preparers, people at the IRS, what have you. Now, that bombshell back in 2016, October 2nd, was supposed to be the October Surprise that guaranteed Trump would lose to Hillary, that Trump hadn\u2019t paid his taxes. (impression) &#8220;He had taken a billion-dollar loss. He was a rotten businessman! He might have been cheating the government, cheating the IRS.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-308592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-050819-Trump-Art-Of-The-Deal-x.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-050819-Trump-Art-Of-The-Deal-x.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-050819-Trump-Art-Of-The-Deal-x-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Who writes off a billion-dollars? No wonder Trump doesn\u2019t want to release his returns,&#8221; everybody said. Here\u2019s the bottom line about this. Because of the Democrat Party\u2019s evolution, and because of its anti-capitalist beliefs, there isn\u2019t, I don\u2019t believe&#8230; I don\u2019t believe there\u2019s a single member of the media, and I don\u2019t believe there is a single member of the Democrat Party capable of understanding the way a real estate magnate like Donald Trump organizes his affairs. I think it\u2019s so far above their level of comprehension.<\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t have any experience in it. They hate capitalism. These are Big Government people. They have not educated themselves on the way the private sector works, how private sector organizations\/companies organize themselves, how they deal with tax law. They just hate them. They just hate capitalism. They hate big corporations, and they come up with all these cliches to describe them. There isn\u2019t anybody independently capable of looking&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Even if they had Trump\u2019s tax returns, I don\u2019t think there is a single (even in the business community) journalist capable of understanding Trump\u2019s tax returns and telling anybody what they mean. There isn\u2019t anybody capable of understanding how the Trump Organization is and was organized and how it operated. There isn\u2019t anybody that understands how real estate operated with tax law back in the eighties and early nineties.<\/p>\n<p>Real estate tax law underwent significant changes in the 1986 tax law. I\u2019m just telling you, the arrogance and contempt for capitalism among people on the left, I guarantee you, has prevented them from having the slightest idea. Not just about Trump, but any other megacorporation in real estate or whatever. How they actually operate and how reporting losses is an objective for some.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-308580\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-NY-Times-050819-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-NY-Times-050819-002.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-NY-Times-050819-002-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>How limiting what you pay in taxes is an objective for some, and how maybe this tax return actually shows how brilliant Trump was at running his business and keeping it afloat, given these circumstances. In fact, the New York Times&#8230; I\u2019m sorry! The New York Times did that story back in \u201995 (I\u2019ve got it right here) about what a brilliant operator Donald Trump is. It\u2019s what led to the book The Art of the Deal. That\u2019s right! The New York Times, in 1995, had a big kiss-ass article on what a brilliant operator Donald Trump is.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2016\/10\/03\/trump_the_original_too_big_to_fail\/\">I want to go back to my own website, October 3rd, 2016<\/a>. That\u2019s when the New York Times and Trump\u2019s taxes story first hit. And the first version of the story was that Trump had reported losses of almost a billion dollars back in the first version of the story. It was 900 some odd million dollars that Trump had lost and had taken a write-off on and avoided paying any federal income tax.<\/p>\n<p>He was asked about this in one of his debates with Hillary Clinton. In fact, it was Anderson Cooper. (paraphrasing) &#8220;Did you actually take a loss totaling almost a billion dollars in taxes back in the nineties and not pay any federal &#8211;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2016\/10\/03\/trump_the_original_too_big_to_fail\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-308635\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/TrumpBook-NYC-C.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/TrumpBook-NYC-C.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/TrumpBook-NYC-C-300x138.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><\/a>&#8220;Damn right I did. And I used some of the laws that Mrs. Clinton wrote to do it! It\u2019s called depreciation! It\u2019s called tax shelters. Damn right I did. I\u2019m probably know the U.S. tax code more than anybody\u2019s ever run for president. I love depreciation.&#8221; And he just turned around and he rammed it down their throats.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the New York Times story &#8212; and I remember, I was in New York at the time, and I remember this like it was yesterday. Trump was reported by some of the tabloids to be on his financial deathbed. This was it. The Taj Mahal and all the casino operations in Atlantic City were gonna come crashing down. Trump\u2019s airline, he had the shuttle, the Trump shuttle, New York to Washington, New York to Boston, it was losing money left and right.<\/p>\n<p>Trump was on the verge of being blown away financially. And then, miraculously, Trump\u2019s businesses were infused with new money. And the news stories turned around, Trump came back from the brink, Trump this, Trump the original too big to fail. And you know what the stories were? How brilliant Trump was, that he had borrowed so much from so many banks that they could not afford to foreclose on him because they would go down the tubes.<\/p>\n<p>The New York Times story was how brilliant Trump was at managing his debt and at making other people, other lenders culpable in it, that he literally had become too big to fail, that a number of lending institutions and banks could not afford to foreclose on him because it would be the end of them as well.<\/p>\n<p>What I said back in 2016, October 3rd: \u201cI need to add one thing, even though it isn\u2019t gonna matter to anybody, but I have to let you know anyway. Back in 1995 the New York Times called Donald Trump \u2018the comeback kid,\u2019 and it\u2019s one of the reasons why he wrote The Art of the Comeback. I\u2019m not making it up. The New York Times, which has broken the law to publish three pages of his 1995 tax return, back in \u201995 called Trump \u2018the comeback kid.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me read you a portion of the New York Times article from 1995. Quote, \u2018After the collapse of the real estate market of the 1980\u2019s, Mr. Trump\u2019s company was left holding some $8.8 billion in debt, causing his personal net worth to drop to a low of about $1 billion in the red by 1991.\u2019 This is the famous tax change in 1986 that took away all deductions, took the top marginal rate essentially from 70% down to 28. And, if you remember, a lot of real estate people got hammered,\u201d in the 1986 tax deal because the deductibility went away with the reduction of the rates, depreciation was disallowed over more and more. The condo market especially.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRental real estate was just devastated by it. Trump was one of them. \u2018After the collapse of the real estate market of the 1980\u2019s \u2013\u2018\u201d this is the New York Times back in \u201995, \u201c\u2019&#8211; Mr. Trump\u2019s company was left holding some $8.8 billion in debt, causing his personal net worth to drop to a low of about $1 billion in the red by 1991.\u2019 One billion in the red by 1991, and he has recovered to be what he is now. That\u2019s a pretty significant comeback, and the Times was writing about it in 1995.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the banks that forwarded Trump a bunch of money, lent him a bunch of money to begin his comeback was Deutsche Bank. And what Deutsche Bank did &#8212; and this is where these numskulls on the left take a little grain of information and blow it up into something that they don\u2019t even understand &#8212; Deutsche Bank lent Trump an incredible amount of money, but they laid off some of the risk. Meaning, of the money Trump owed them, they sold some of that to other banks.<\/p>\n<p>Just like you get a mortgage with a bank and one day you get a notice your mortgage has been sold to another bank. Lending institutions change their level of risk all the time. And they lay off elements of risk. So Deutsche Bank sent Trump a lot of money, but they didn\u2019t want to become totally dependent on Trump paying it back, so they sold some of Trump\u2019s debt to a consortium of banks that did some business in Russia.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s the link to Trump owes Russia. Trump doesn\u2019t owe Russia anything. It was Deutsche Bank that lent him the money, it was Deutsche Bank that laid off some of their loans to Trump to a consortium of Russian banks. It\u2019s insignificant in terms of the amount. But that one little shred of information is what a network like MSNBC or a bunch of know-nothings over at CNN will take, &#8220;See? See? Trump is totally, totally dependent on the Russians.\u201d It was so far ago, it was irrelevant.<\/p>\n<p>Trump tweeted about this: \u201cReal estate developers in the 1980s &amp; 1990s, more than 30 years ago, were entitled to massive write offs and depreciation which would, if one was actively building, show losses and tax losses in almost all cases. Much was non monetary,\u201d meaning it was paper. \u201cSometimes considered \u2018tax shelter,\u2019\u201d real estate building, condo building, all these things considered tax shelters. And this is before the \u201986 tax law because of depreciation allowances and because of the write-offs that were permitted.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, the government writes tax law for a host of reasons, and one of the reasons is social architecture. One of the reasons is business architecture. So if a Congress or if a president and Congress at any moment in history decide that they want to rebirth, say, the real estate industry, well, they will go in and they will rewrite the tax law to be advantageous to people who start building real estate.<\/p>\n<p>If they want a bunch of condominiums built for who knows whatever reasons &#8212; maybe their donors build condos. You know how Washington works. But if Congress and the president get together and decide that the real estate business needs a shot in the arm then they\u2019ll write tax law favorable to people that invest in real estate or build commercial real estate or private condominiums and so forth.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s what was the law of the land throughout the eighties. And there were gigantic depreciation schedules that were taken advantage of. There were tax shelters. It was a way to promote investment. It\u2019s just like the home mortgage interest deduction. Every now and then they decide, somebody poses the idea of getting rid of it.<\/p>\n<p>And guess who steps in to stop it? The real estate industry and the home builders bunch \u2019cause they know without the mortgage interest deduction, nobody\u2019s gonna buy houses. So mortgage interest deduction was introduced originally as a way to goose home building, to promote the American dream.<\/p>\n<p>Well, when Trump was engaged in real estate and all these things he was doing, tax law was extremely favorable to real estate investors, real estate prospectors &#8212; people that would build commercial real estate, condominiums and so forth. All of the tax advantages for doing so was what Trump was taking advantage of. Those have since been eliminated and changed, and the economy has been goosed in different areas by succeeding tax law since then, and Trump was able to invest enough that allowed him to show paper losses over a billion dollars.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-298908\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/APP-020619-State-Of-The-Union-Trump-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/APP-020619-State-Of-The-Union-Trump-3.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/APP-020619-State-Of-The-Union-Trump-3-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Meaning he did not have to pay income tax because he was reporting losses, not gains &#8212; and depreciating his holdings at a rapid rate was what was permitted as well. But he had taken out a lot of loans in order to make all of this happen. The loans were so extensive that the banks could not foreclose on him, and it was that feature that caused the New York Times to write this gigantic article about the &#8220;Comeback Kid,&#8221; because if you were in New York at the time, you remember Trump was proclaimed to be on his financial deathbed for two, three years running.<\/p>\n<p>And then all of a sudden, he\u2019s back and he\u2019s whole and he\u2019s gigantic again. The story was the banks had to keep lending because they couldn\u2019t afford for Trump to go bankrupt. They couldn\u2019t afford for Trump to lose everything, because then they would go south with him &#8212; and he was credited for being brilliant enough at the outset in arranging his original loans that exposed his lenders to the same calamities he would be exposed to. That\u2019s what got him this article of praise by the New York Times.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s simply a rehashing of that era now that the New York Times is engaging in and trying to rewrite what happened into the fact that Trump was a business buffoon, didn\u2019t know what he was doing, almost went bankrupt, didn\u2019t pay his taxes. But this story is old. They tried this back in 2016. There\u2019s nothing new. The real story here on Trump and his taxes is, &#8220;Who the hell at the IRS gave up even more information in this story than they had three years ago?&#8221; Who is it? The leaker and the illegality, that\u2019s the real story in the Trump New York Times story, not the details of his finances, because there\u2019s nothing new in that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: How many of you upon hearing that said, &quot;Wait a minute.
