I haven't looked any further to determine if it is true but several people from a US-based forum that I follow have said that the President's tax returns are required to be made public. If that is the case then we will see them in due course.

The  https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-stat/graphics/politics/trump-archive/docs/us-v-trump-case-via-national-archives-foia.pdf" rel="nofollow - Justice Department lawsuit against Donald Trump, his father, Fred Trump, and the Trump company , which owned 39 buildings with 15,000 apartments, actually marks the first mention of Donald J. Trump in The New York Times. The front page headline on Oct. 16, 1973, said: “ http://www.nytimes.com/times-insider/2015/07/30/1973-meet-donald-trump/" rel="nofollow - Major Landlord Accused of Antiblack Bias in City .” Regarding the charges, Trump was quoted: “They are absolutely ridiculous.”

According to Kranish and Fisher, the Justice Department lawsuit was “one of the most significant racial bias cases of the era.” It was based on evidence gathered by testers for the New York City Human Rights Commission, who documented that black people were told no apartments were available in Trump properties while white testers at the same time were immediately offered apartments. In a sampling of 10 Trump buildings, only 1 to 3.5 percent of the occupants were minorities, making it one of the strongest cases the Justice Department had ever seen for violations of the Fair Housing Act.

All the Justice Department wanted was to obtain a settlement in which Trump and his father would promise not to discriminate. But Trump instead hired Roy Cohn, a notoriously combative attorney, and countersued the Justice Department for $100 million ($500 million in today’s dollars) for making false and misleading statements. But his allegations were dismissed by the courts, and two years of litigation later, Trump decided in 1975 to settle before the case went to trial.

“The settlement was much like what the Trumps could initially have gotten,” the book says. As part of the deal, the Trumps were required to place ads assuring minorities that they would have equal access to housing. Trump initially balked at paying for the ads but ultimately was forced to do so.

Newspapers at the time declared it was a victory for the government, with headlines such as “Minorities Win Housing Suit.” The Justice Department said the decree was “one of the most far-reaching ever negotiated.” A New York Times  https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2186614-trump-promises-to-end-race-bias.html" rel="nofollow - article  determined that the agreement had “stronger teeth” than a settlement reached with another real estate firm, the Lefrak Organization, in 1971.

The book notes that Trump, in an interview, falsely claimed “there were many, many landlords that were sued under that case.” Similarly, in the debate, Trump claimed “that was a lawsuit brought against many real estate firms.” But the suit was squarely aimed at the Trumps and their company; it was titled: United States of America v. Fred C. Trump, Donald Trump and Trump Management, Inc.

In  https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-stat/graphics/politics/trump-archive/docs/donald-trump-interview-with-marc-fisher-and-michael-kranish-april-21-2016.pdf" rel="nofollow - a transcript  of the April 21, 2016, interview, one can see how Kranish called out Trump when he tried to claim the lawsuit was against many landlords.

Donald Trump: Yeah, that was, yeah. But I meant that was one of many cases.

Michael Kranish: What other cases? The LeFrak case was settled, and you were upset about the Lefrak case being settled, the Sam Lefrak case.

Donald Trump: Oh, I see. You mean they settled it sooner?

Michael Kranish: He settled previously, and you had cited in your book that, you know, this other landlord, Sam Lefrak, settled the case. You didn’t want to do that.

Moreover, the Trumps were back in court three years later, as the Justice Department in 1978 alleged that they had reneged on the agreement to allow minorities to rent properties. The case was  https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-stat/graphics/politics/trump-archive/docs/trump-racial-bias-justice-foia.pdf" rel="nofollow - not formally closed until 1982 .

Multi-national US companies are estimated to be holding $1.4 trillion in cash outside of the USA. Google and Microsoft are the biggest holders of cash outside the USA.

At the moment, this cash is useless to shareholders, the the US economy and US Government.

This build up has occurred because these companies don't want to pay the US corporate tax rate of 35%.

Trump's policies look towards reducing the corporate tax rate so that these multi-nationals don't end up shuffling money out of the country.

When money leaves the country, taxes don't get paid and the cash isn't re-invested in the economy.

Lower corporate tax rates encourage US companies to hold their cash in the country and re-invest, creating growth within the domestic economy.

Lower corporate tax rates also reduce costs on businesses which have previously off-shored and taken jobs with them. High tax rates reduce competitiveness.

Trump is also promoting a one off tax rate of 10% for all repatriated cash.

If $700Bn is repatriated, that means a massive injection of private money into the economy to stimulate growth, plus $70Bn into Government coffers. A genius move, huge stimulation to create jobs and growth using private funds.

I wouldn't mind betting that a Trump Republican Government would use part of that $70Bn tax revenue to help stimulate growth via infrastructure private/public partnership investments in the Rust belt states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan etc.

These are the States that delivered the party the election, and the states which will need to be held in 2020.

The potential for the above tax policies to stimulate the US economy is huge.

Just making an observation Passing Through. Do you have a problem being held accountable?

If you are going to act like the World will end upon a Trump win in the other thread, expect your prediction to be discussed if it doesn't play out that way. 

You were very strong on the markets being indicative of your view being correct, I'm just pointing out that the Dow hit an all time high last night.

Are you saying the volatility has stopped yet, it never happened or both? 

As many pointed out the market had already somewhat factored in a Trump possibility. On it actually happening there was a lot of movement before settling back again. Before Trump starts to rule, there will be much more volatility in the markets as they try to work out from announcements he either holds or reverses on who the winners and losers will be. Markets move and return, there isn't a lot of places money in that volume to shift to. I wouldn't like to be holding shares in anything to do with renewable energy or science based 

We have flat-earthers in charge. Climate science and evolution deniers. Wonder what they will do with NASA? Military/weapons  based companies on the other hands are rubbing their hands together, but there will still be plenty of uncertainty and movement to come

  What stood out to me was the disgusting interference attempts from Australia's gutter rats .
 
      How they would cry if the USA gave such opinions on our leaders at election time .
 
Shorten took the cake , labelling Trump as MAD .       Gillard's testicles went into overdrive .
  Many others have some answering to do too.

"Watching the self entitled socialist elite protest in the streets, denying people's democratic right to vote, is exactly why Trump won.

Apathetic non-voting university brainwashed hipster - YOU CAN HAVE AN OPINION SO LONG AS ITS MY OPINION.

America desperately needed a shake up. And while I don't agree with him on a lot of issues there is a lot I do agree with, particularly on reigning in unsustainable welfare and building the economy again."

Rachel Corbett
November 10, 2016 9:00pm

I don’t like Trump. But maybe I was wrong about him

As the hangover from the Trump victory wears off I have a small confession to make. I’m feeling hopeful.

Granted, a year from now, as I’m standing in the smouldering ruins of society watching The Four Horseman gallop over the rise I might be cursing my premature optimism.

But watching Trump deliver his first speech as President-elect I thought, “maybe I didn’t give this guy enough credit.”

Everyone was waiting for him to celebrate by wheeling out a keg and hosing down women in white T-shirts but instead he looked (I can’t believe I’m saying this) mildly Presidential.

Most of that can be attributed to his speechwriters, who hit the perfect tone to temper his madness, but as he delivered his speech I wondered whether Trump had played us all spectacularly.

He’s had years of experience in reality television, has been a public figure for decades and knows how the media works. He understands what behaviour gets the loudest cheers and highest ratings.nd while I doubt we’re going to see him morph into a tanned Mother Teresa anytime soon, I’m starting to think the Trump we saw on the campaign trail might be the one he knew would have most impact.

Truth is, if he’d been the bloke on election night promising unity and fairness the whole way through, he’d never have been able to galvanise the disaffected masses he needed to win. As someone who was bewildered by his success, the election result opened my eyes to how far removed those of us in media and politics are from the people who’s lives are genuinely affected by the decisions of Government.

I, like many, thought reason, logic and decency would prevail but none of those things put food on the table for a retirement-age steelworker who can’t remember the last time he had $5 to spare.

I was so swept up in this idea the smartest and most adult person in the room was the most deserving that I was genuinely shocked when Hillary refused to front her supporters when things were looking grim. Those people had been waiting for hours to hear from a woman who represented their hopes for the future and instead they were fed some line about the fight not being over even though 15 minutes later she was calling Trump to concede defeat.You can guarantee if Trump lost he would have been out in front of the crowd thanking them for their support (and potentially hosing down women in white T-shirts). In fact, I think he might have preferred that so he could just slap an “as seen on the Presidential ballot” sign on the entrance of his buildings without having to deal with the 3am phone calls about Syria.

For Hillary, however, this was deeply personal and refusing to deliver a concession speech under the giant glass ceiling and fireworks that were potentially prematurely booked, proved this was more about her than the people.

As an anti-politician Trump has everything to lose and nothing to gain, so he’ll hopefully be more concerned with getting things done than making sure he’s still got a car space in four years.

Whatever the outcome, those of us who doubted him need to be rooting for his success. The American people voted and if he’s the divisive, misogynistic piece of work we’ve seen so far they’ll have their chance to vote him out in four years. But it’s in everyone’s best interests for him to prove we severely underestimated him.

Let’s hope Trump can make America great again, because if he doesn’t we’re stuffed.

In the end was clinton more concerned about being the first WOMAN president?

I suspect a lot of trump voters supported him simply because they heard what they were privately thinking. thats all it took.

in 4 years when they realise their dire predicament in life hasnt improved and has probably gotten worse, wont matter. as long as trump again says stuff they they were thinking.

And yes, some people are that easily controlled. trump even spelled that out to them. "I could stand in the middle of a street, fire a gun and kill someone...and they'l still vote for me"

I think (or hope) Trump will enjoy being president while his people take care of business . There was an interview with Keating and he put forward the view that his foreign policy stance of more friendly engagement with both Russia and China may be a good thing.
Where he could do massive damage is in the financial sector and he really does need fantastic and smart people .

‘Prediction professor’ who called Trump’s big win also made another forecast: Trump will be impeached





At the end of our September conversation, Lichtman made another call: that if elected, Trump would eventually be impeached by a Republican Congress that would prefer a President Mike Pence — someone whom establishment Republicans know and trust.

“I'm going to make another prediction,” he said. “This one is not based on a system; it's just my gut. They don't want Trump as president, because they can't control him. He's unpredictable. They'd love to have Pence — an absolutely down-the-line, conservative, controllable Republican. And I'm quite certain Trump will give someone grounds for impeachment, either by doing something that endangers national security or because it helps his pocketbook.”

C-P=As we sit in the foggy aftermath of one of history's most extraordinary elections one thing is clear enough – Australia just received an enormous shot of financial adrenalin. We are accidental collateral winners from the Republican victory in the US. Call it the Trump gift and it's worth billions.

Trump's policy centrepiece to spend $1 trillion to rebuild America's infrastructure signals a massive increase in demand for commodities like iron ore and coal, which Australia produces. And since declaring he was set to "fix our inner cities and rebuild our highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, schools, hospitals", the prices of these commodities have taken off like a rocket.

The price of Iron ore – our biggest export – has soared to almost US$75 a tonne which is almost double where it was at the start of the year. In the past few days since the days it has gained more than 8 per cent.

A President can offer a pardon against future prosecution, as Gerald Ford did in his first month in office for Richard Nixon and several co-accused. If Trump goes after her it will be like the Lib Party here going after Gillard Rudd etc with Royal Commissions....just because they can. A pardon will head that off.

I suspect though that Donald has more than a few skeletons that can be examined should anyone choose to look You cant screw over as many people as he has and not have a huge army of people willing to sink the boot in. Look at Bill Clinton and Whitewater. It would be prudent of Obama to do this
