My favorite part of the whole "Trump tax genius" argument

After the NYT released his state tax info, Trump and his surrogates have fallen all over each other claiming that his loss and subsequent (alleged) offset of income was evidence that he is a "genius" at doing his taxes.

However, several seconds of thought on the issue had me realize that Trump obviously did not complete his own, 12,000 page tax returns. Trump has accountants who work for him, so that he does not have to spend his *valuable* time filling in worksheets and categorizing receipts.

Thus, if anyone is a genius, it is the accountant Trump hired to do his taxes.
