I haven't heard of any Trump rage Tweets last night. If Trump refrained from Tweeting I think it's a bad omen for the SC rulings.
Why? Because there is no way that Clarence Thomas or his wife doesn't clue Trump in ahead of time what is coming down.
Just saying, if the decision has been made, Trump knows what it is.

It just isn't about Trump though, if the SC rules in Trump's favor it means that the president is above the law for all future presidents.

(32,632 posts)even right wing judges will see this as the last chance to get rid of the guy that will take Publicans down. The court is now the only power of the 3 branches that has the power.

(15,669 posts)For example, my net worth is 400,000 including 200K house but my tax paperwork shows I made 54,000 for 2019. Nowhere could people know what Im worth.
Loans - I have a loan from a bank. No info provided on my tax form about my loan.
What can we see in trumps taxes besides his salary, and deductions.

(32,632 posts)He owes more than he is worth. On the long form more info on loans is required, like how much each bank and other lenders are required. Also, lack of church donations.

(4,448 posts)And my return is easily 80 pages.
The exception is Home loan and Home equity loans. But that is unlikely to be a major portion of Trumps debt or asset.
While forms DO provide precise income information, Net worth can only be estimated and there is literally zero place on a tax return where we fill out a Balance Sheet.
Nonetheless, I'm surprised that Trump doesn't release a recent return and just "explain" that his income is down because of his current role.
No matter how this return thing turns out, I think people are going to be dissapointed.

(25,467 posts)I got toasted because everybody said that it was absolutely confidential and couldnt possibly spread to the White House before the release. Personally, I doubt that but did not feel like getting into arguments with people who had worked in federal courts, because in fact they do know more than I know, and it just isnt worth the conjecture which is all that it is.
But I agree with you. Just saying.

(21,234 posts)Deutche Bank is the only bank that gives Trump loans. Trump is known for not paying back his loans. Did Deutche bank give Trump the loan because Trump's loan was backed by VTB (Putin) bank? Did VTB bank pay off Trump's loan? The Deutche bank court ruling involves a lot more than just taxes.

He has zero impulse control.
I still say could go either way, but they'll probably give him what he wants.
