It must have been those evil Republicans who brought back those tax breaks. . .

In 1993 Congress restored those breaks. At the same time, it carved out another advantage for the real estate industry. For most businesses, canceled or forgiven debts had to be recognized as income. Real estate investors for the most part got a pass, though they had to relinquish some future deductions. Mr. Trump has benefited from those rules, such as when his lenders canceled about $270 million of debt on his Chicago skyscraper, his tax records show.

You mean that Donald Trump took advantage of a provision in the tax code allowed by said tax code?

I can guaran-fricking-tee you that there is not a single soul at the NYT who has the slightest clue on how to dissect Trump’s tax return, if they have them at all. You’d need a hand truck to move the paper if it was all printed out.

Stupid if you know anything about taxes but kinda smart on their part, most are clueless about taxes for businesses so Dems and their allies in the media can run with this to promote OMB.
