"I know that, I just want to hear him deny it."
Posted by  Moneyman/TX of TX on 8/18/16 8:43pm Msg #67987
There is a story in politics, commonly attributed to Lyndon B. Johnson, about how LBJ wanted to circulate a rumor attacking his opponent in a Texas election. Johnson, it's said, wanted to spread the story that his opponent liked to have sex with barnyard animals. One of LBJ's aides said, "We can't prove he's a pig f----r."

"I know that," replied Johnson. "I just want to hear him deny it."

I'm reminded of the above story whenever I hear things like, "For starters, we can learn whether or not he has been paying taxes".

If he is a smart businessman, he probably owns very little and receives a relatively small paycheck. It's actually a wise financial move to have your successful business own things and you, as a right of your position in the company, to have access to everything you need while the costs can mostly be written off as "business expenses". If we are being honest, that is probably what Trump does not want his opponents to have to beat him over the head with, imo. It's hard enough to get people with an actual understanding of business to understand such things, forget trying to educate the general population, most with zero business sense.
