Tax Settlements

The IRS doesn't have to take the correct and full amount actually due from Trump--a probable amount beyond imagination, what with fines and penalties. No, Trump can open negotiations to settle the bill.

But, I think he might posture himself as the, you know, pResident, and that he can't be bothered while he is still there. That would give him up to Inauguration Day just to start to negotiate. Those negotiations could take a significant amount of time. He could lengthen that by going to trial, although that's dicey.

So, I don't think that these taxes, while an ahah moment for us, will bother him all that much. He has plenty of time to figure it out, while living off of We The People. He squirrels away the money he swipes and pays off the miniscule amount that he will negotiate for a settlement. Easy, peasy.

He probably won't even have to give up Mar a Lago. If he does not get reelected (one way or another,) he'll just go there. Convenient to that boat dock guarded by the Coast Guard, in case he needs it.

The only real problem he has is, WHO does he owe millions to? China? Well, yeah, but what are they gonna do?

Russia? We know what they can do! My money's on the Russian mob. But I think that he can come up with taxpaper money to pay them off. MAYBE they want something more than money...there's no price they can put on the US of A.

We have to be smarter than this jerk. We are STILL on the offensive, and we must vote all of these people out of office. They are all traitors. Not too far to go now! Hold on!
