From October 2016
. . . Mitnick worked for Trump and his father, Fred Trump, for nearly 30 years, from the 1960s until 1996. He told Inside Edition that he recognized the tax returns because at the time, his computer couldnt print a number as large as the loss Trump declared in his 1995 returns: $915,729,293. The numbers had to be put in there with a typewriter, he said.
Yet even as Mitnicks interview was airing on TV, Trumps vice presidential running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, was busy hailing Trumps brilliant exploitation of the tax code. He used the tax code just the way its supposed to be used, and he did it brilliantly, Pence said.

(50,562 posts)...but your hero also lost a billion dollars in one year.
There are entire counties in Indiana where the residents combined salaries dont come close to what Trump wrote off his taxes.
Think about this for a minute: If the entire population of the five poorest counties in Indiana were to hand every cent they made that year to Donald Trump and tell him to use it to reduce his losses, he still would have reported a tax loss...and youre entrusting this individual with the federal budget.
