This might actually be fun

“Donald Trump cares about exactly one thing: Donald Trump," Sen. Elizabeth Warren said, opening up with both barrels in a speech on Tuesday:
“Donald Trump was drooling over the idea of a housing meltdown because it meant he could buy up a bunch more property on the cheap,” Warren said at a Washington, D.C. gala for the Center for Popular Democracy Tuesday night.After taking Trump to the woodshed for being who he is, Warren took him to task for what he doesn't do: pay taxes. Trump last revealed his taxes in 1981. He told George Stephanopolis:
“What kind of a man does that?” an incredulous Warren asked. “Root for people to get thrown out on the street? Root for people to lose their jobs? Root for people to lose their pensions? Root for two little girls in Clark County, Nevada, to end up living in a van?”
“What kind of a man does that?”
“I’ll tell you exactly what kind,” Warren continued. “A man who cares about no one but himself. A small, insecure money-grubber who doesn’t care who gets hurt, so long as he makes some money off it. What kind of man does that? A man who will never be president of the United States.”
I try very hard to pay as little tax as possible and have said that for the last two years. I fight very hard because this country wastes our money. They take our tax money and throw it down the drain.... So I fight very hard to pay as little tax as possible.Trump has yet to release his taxes this year, the first presidential candidate in 40 years not to, Warren said. As the Washington Post, reported:
The last time information from Donald Trump’s income-tax returns was made public, the bottom line was striking: He had paid the federal government $0 in income taxes.Warren continued,
But we know one thing: the last time his taxes were made public, Donald Trump paid nothing. Zero. Zero taxes before, and for all we know, he’s paying zero taxes today. And he’s proud of it. Two weeks ago he said he’s more than happy to dodge taxes....Like so many other Republican politicians, this man who fights hard not to support this country wants Americans to put him in charge of governing it. Chutzpah is too small a word to describe this Man without a Conscience.
