We have a special site, a special location. We have a neighborhood that at first was concerned but now has embraced us for the most part.
When I build something for somebody, I always add $50 million or $60 million onto the price. My guys come in, they say it's going to cost $75 million. I say it's going to cost $125 million, and I build it for $100 million. Basically, I did a lousy job. But they think I did a great job.
The plan I am proposing today does not involve smoke and mirrors, phony numbers, financial gimmicks, or the usual economic chicanery you usually find in Disneyland-on-the-Potomac.
I pay hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes.
Hillary Clinton is raising your taxes and I'm lowering your taxes. That in itself is a big difference.
If you really look, it's not a tax - it's really not a great thing for the wealthy. It's a great thing for the middle class. It's a great thing for companies to expand.
Trickle-down did not work. It got us into the mess we were in, in 2008 and 2009. Slashing taxes on the wealthy hasn't worked.
As far as my tax returns, you don't learn that much from tax returns.
We will have a massive, massive tax increase under Hillary Clinton's plan.
I pay tremendous numbers of taxes.
I understand the tax code better than anybody that's ever run for president.
That is a terrible situation, isn't it? Where they can say we don't like the way you're speaking about Christianity, about God. We don't like what you just said and we're gonna take away your tax exempt status which you know how important it is.
If I decide to run for office, I will release my tax returns. Absolutely. I would love to do that.
I pay tax, and I pay federal tax, too. But I have a write-off, a lot of it's depreciation, which is a wonderful charge. I love depreciation.
