EA on BBC and talkRADIO: Will Trump’s Tax Troubles Affect the Election?

Posted by Scott Lucas | Sep 29, 2020 | 0

I joined the BBC and talkRADIO on Monday and Tuesday to discuss the revelations about Donald Trump’s tax avoidance and deceptions about his (lack of) wealth.

We review Trump’s payment of little or no tax from 2001 to 2017, his first year in the White House, his loss of hundreds of millions of dollars, and the $421 million in loan obligations which come due in the next four years.

Will the revelations have any effect on the contest between Trump and Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden, as they meet in the first debate on Tuesday night? And do they portend more legal difficulties, with the possibility of Donald Trump as a defendant soon after he is leaves or is forced out of the White House?
