Does a "right of center" nut job like me count? I already did.
Here's a link,

The article is awfully hard to follow, and they spend too much time emphasizing what they think is politically harmful to Trump. But overall what's in it isn't particularly surprising:
1. He hasn't paid much in taxes for a billionaire.
2. He stiffed his creditors big time, again, after what he did to the bondholders and banks bankrolling the Atlantic City casinos, that we already knew about. He hasn't paid tax on the "forgiveness of debt" income that arose from this.
3. He's got some very creative tax accountants. This could bite him in the ass big time. Cyrus Vance Jr. has sent people to jail for less. That's not to say that he couldn't send most of us to jail too if we lived in New York and he set his mind to it.
4. He doesn't make nearly as much money as he says he does.
5. He's been putting lots and lots of bad money after good, as a result of some bad investments in golf courses and the like that consume lots of cash, year after year.
6. He's not nearly as rich as he says he is.
7. A large share, maybe most, of his income in the last 20 years has been from the Apprentice.
I'd like to know how the NYT got his tax returns. If LE finds out, somebody will be going to the big house for leaking those.
