Whenever you see Trump golfing, think corruption.
To avoid paying taxes on billions of dollars, he's found a loophole: he "gives up" futher development rights at completed golf courses, claiming that makes them wildlife habitats— and thus charitable donations.
But they aren't wildlife shelters, they're a tax shelter.
And the president is using his position and compliant partisans in Congress, the IRS, and the DOJ to get away with this con, as CNN's Erin Burnett and Forbes' senior editor Dan Alexander explain.
The president has long claimed charitable deductions on golf courses he never gave away. Now, facing one of the most significant tax bills of his life, he’s pushing the scheme even further—and appears to be using the presidency to get away with it.

UNBELIEVABLE: Meta is giving Mark Zuckerberg financial incentives to stay in California in the event a wealth tax passes in November.
On top of the enormous wealth he's already accumulated by addicting kids to their social media feeds, this is gross - and it's yet another sign Meta should be paying more in taxes, since they have so many resources to burn on nonsense like this.

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.
Georgia's data center tax breaks are on track to cost nearly $3 BILLION in state and local revenue next year.
Schools alone could lose $295 - $320 million.
That's enough for a year of free school meals statewide.

So the homeland security threat is coming from the White House.
Awesome.
A small group of U.S. national security officials has been discreetly advising state and congressional lawmakers on how to prepare for the possibility that the Trump administration will attempt to interfere in the midterms, according to people involved. wapo.st/3WjVke5
“Some of the wealthiest corporations in the world are getting enormous tax breaks to build and run these facilities. Meanwhile, families are paying their taxes and watching their schools and public services struggle for funding.” - @KristenCrowell1

"The story we hear over and over and over from our legislators is that 'well, we just don't have the resources to fund our schools.' But I'm going to tell you a dirty little secret: The money is there, they're just letting billionaires and rich corporations off the hook."
- Stephanie Rittgers, a parent and organizer with Parents for Missouri Public Schools

Who pays for bad policies? Add it up: the increased costs due to the Republican tax law, the Trump tariffs, the health care tax credits Congress let expire. A middle-income family comes out at least $1,700 behind this year. The richest 1%? Ahead. itep.org/impact-of-trump-pol…

We all paid for Trump's illegal tariffs at the register. Now companies are getting refunds, and lawsuits are testing whether any of it has to come back to customers. It should. Every penny. news.bloomberglaw.com/in-hou…

Imagine: After 20+ years of student loan payments, you're debt is finally cancelled. Then comes a tax bill that more than doubles what you owe the IRS. That's the tax bomb that Trump & Republicans in Congress have handed 2-3 million working people this year. fobaction.substack.com/p/tru…

Americans paid the tariff tax. So who’s getting Trump’s tariff refund? Corporations. It's bullshit, and yet another reason why we need to unrig the system & make corporations pay their fair share in taxes. groundworkcollaborative.org/…

An $886 dental bill once started a spiral that cost me my home. For years I called that my failure. It wasn't. It was a broken system based on rigged policy. And policy can be rewritten. Billionaires and corporations need to pay their fair share. That’s why we organize. familiesoverbillionaires.org…
