just so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle, remember that trump called taxpayers stupid.

trump bragged about paying no taxes.

said "that makes me smart".

the implication being that people who actually pay taxes are stupid.



the list of people trump hasn't insulted is now a very, very short list.

though he probably evades state and local income taxes as well.

virtually all of us are taxpayers of some sort, if only sales tax.

Trump is so vain and selfish he didn't have the sense to lie.

That makes him "smart".

anything at all...military, schools, infrastructure...that involves tax money. "But Mr. Trump, you don't believe in paying taxes, where will the funding come from?".. Hell, his own salary if elected, and the secret service protection he enjoys now, he's mooching off a system he refuses to help support. People like this schmuck, when they proudly spit on people who try to be good citizens and pay their fair share, demoralize others and embitter them against supporting the goverrnment.
