Donald Trump is the typical taker. He does not only take people’s money, unearned income. He also takes their ideas as his own. Ex-Trump accountant Jack Mitnick did not let Trump get away with it.
Trump’s ex-accountant speaks
Donald Trump’s ex-accountant told Inside Edition that he was the brains behind his tax returns. This makes Trump’s bragging about his smarts suspect.
Inside Edition spoke to Mitnick.
Donald Trump had no part in preparing his controversial 1995 tax returns that legally allowed him to avoid paying federal taxes for 18 years, the accountant who prepared the taxes told Inside Edition.
“None whatsoever,” Jack Mitnick, 80, replied when asked how involved Trump was in his tax preparations. …
But Trump on Monday said he used the tax laws to his benefit, calling his maneuvering the law to his favor “brilliant.”
“I understand the tax laws better than almost anyone, which is why I’m the one who can truly fix them,” Trump said during a Colorado rally. “I have brilliantly used those laws.”
“I’m the one who did all the work,” said Mitnick, who first met Trump in 1964 when he was working as the accountant of his father, Fred Trump.
So unfettered capitalist Donald Trump did what his ilk does best. He takes the ideas of others as his own as he takes all the spoils.
