The US president pays less in federal income taxes than the majority if Americans do. Here's the expected 'October surprise' coming early this election cycle.

Not surprisingly, Trump's tax records expose his utter duplicity for everyone to see. We all expected this, and we knew this is why he was so desperately trying to avoid disclosing his tax returns before the 2016 election.

The timing is pretty devastating for him, less than a couple of months before the election - a time when he's already been on the defensive about his trustworthiness (as if we ever had any doubts that he lacks any). If this doesn't sink his campaign, then nothing will.

My fave part? He writes off money he gives Ivanka calling her a contractor. (But then, wouldn't she have to claim that as income?)

So basically, he's not a winner, since he's been filing losses for over two decades?
