He paid more in hush money for affairs than in taxes: Trump blasted for cheating the IRS for decades
President Donald Trump was revealed as a tax fraud in a New York Times report Sunday evening. The report detailed the two years that Trump paid taxes; he only paid $750 each year. The self-described billionaire shows that he has nearly $500 million in debt.
Trump has built his career on the idea that he is one of the country’s best businessmen. He even founded the show “The Apprentice” to promote his business expertise and pick the next big business expert. The Times reported Trump has earned more money by pretending to be a businessman than he has made actually developing business.
Ironically, Trump attacked former President Barack Obama for only paying 20% in taxes in 2012. Trump paid far less.
@BarackObama who wants to raise all our taxes, only pays 20.5% on $790k salary. http://t.co/bqF26mQf Do as I say not as I do.

In 2016, Trump campaigned on the idea that a businessman in the White House was what America needed to rebuild an economy that former President Barack Obama had already rescued from what was, at the time, the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. That crisis has since been revealed by the high unemployment due to Trump’s failure to handle the coronavirus pandemic.
Trump was mocked and attacked for stealing from the American taxpayer with millions in refunds, hefty hair-do fees, Ivanka Trump’s makeup costs, paying off affairs and sexual harassment allegations and so many more scams.
Trump’s supporters tried to claim that it was an example of the president’s “genius.”

Trump would rather have people thinking he's a tax cheat than a business failure.

You just know Biden is gonna get hammered tomorrow when, in the interest of fairness, the NYT drops a 10-page hit piece on Joe still owing late fees to a Wilmington Blockbuster when it went out of business.

I thought @realDonaldTrump was a grifter because it’s his personality. Turns out he needs the taxpayer funds being funneled to his businesses by his repeated trips to his properties. It’s also why his campaign pays his family. Because Trump owes massive debts.#TrumpTaxReturns https://t.co/iIJYazsuMJ

I always said his taxes would make no meaningful difference, because cheating on your taxes is the American way. But it is a shameful display regardless.

Before y'all say "I need his accountant" or "Trump is smart"…his scam could lead to over a $100 MILLION tax bill if he loses his battle with the IRS. And just wait til Tish James gets a hold of him. #VoteHimOut #TrumpTaxes pic.twitter.com/7e3pCOlLNo

Weird to be trolled by the former acting DNI but sorry it’s not advocacy to ask people if they paid more than $750 in taxes, unlike the President.
Did you pay more than that? https://t.co/wfRWAy2WmI

In other words, Barack Obama paid $161,000 on his $790,000 salary while Trump paid $750 dollars two years in a row after claiming to make *millions* each year.
If only everyone had a bunch of failing businesses that bleed money we could use to circumvent paying taxes. https://t.co/ADZVUDpi7F

Moon may be richer in water than thought — and it could help propel humans farther from earth
There may be far more water on the Moon than previously thought, according to two studies published Monday raising the tantalising prospect that astronauts on future space missions could find refreshment -- and maybe even fuel -- on the lunar surface.
The Moon was believed to be bone dry until around a decade ago when a series of findings suggested that our nearest celestial neighbour has traces of water trapped in the surface.
Two new studies published in Nature Astronomy on Monday suggest there could be much more water than previously thought, including ice stored in permanently shadowed "cold traps" at lunar polar regions.
Asymptomatic coronavirus sufferers appear to lose detectable antibodies sooner than people who have exhibited Covid-19 symptoms, according to one of the biggest studies of its kind in Britain published on Tuesday.
The findings by Imperial College London and market research firm Ipsos Mori also suggest the loss of antibodies was slower in 18–24 year-olds compared to those aged 75 and over.
Overall, samples from hundreds of thousands of people across England between mid-June and late September showed the prevalence of virus antibodies fell by more than a quarter.
The research, commissioned by the British government and published Tuesday by Imperial, indicates people's immune response to Covid-19 reduces over time following infection.

Early voting to be hit by heavy rain and flooding as Hurricane Zeta barrels towards the Gulf Coast
Hurricane Zeta is expected to make landfall near Louisiana's border with Mississippi on Wednesday evening as campaigns work to get supporters to the polls and convince any undecided voters to back their candidate.
"Hurricane conditions and life-threatening storm surge are possible along portions of the northern Gulf Coast on Wednesday, and Storm Surge and Hurricane Watches are in effect," the National Hurricane Center warned.
"Between Tuesday night and Thursday, heavy rainfall is expected from portions of the central Gulf Coast into the southern Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic states near and in advance of Zeta. This rainfall will lead to flash, urban, small stream, and minor river flooding," the center explained.
