Haha... Yeah, but I'm assuming once the campaigns start properly, that'll drop... Which is an assumption, sure, but I think it's a fair one - race, handsyness and Anita Hill all seem like they'd dent the youth vote, regardless of his policies.

Race and handsiness may be an issue but they won't know who Anita Hill is.
Yeah, I suppose that comes down to how closely they follow politics, and what surfaces through their social media feeds and word-of-mouth.
I love the personal grooming category. Getting your hair cut and buying deodorant like a real fat cat.
Hell you could eat Domino's $8 large pizza for your lunch and dinner, 7 days a weeks, and you're looking at just over $200 a month. I mean you'd swell the hell up, but, you could do it and it's way cheaper than a monthly grocery bill.
How is that way cheaper than a monthly grocery bill for one person? Our monthly bill is around $500 for two people but that includes some random things like cat litter and shampoos, etc. And we could cut down on a few things like more expensive coffee and sparkling water if we really needed to get it down further.
Is.. he admitting to tax fraud here and defending himself because "everyone" was in on it back then?
Then I hope he takes down all the crooks with him
Donald Trump is more afraid of being known as not actually being filthy rich than anything else.
Most criminals don't speak about their crimes, Trump confesses them on twitter.

I feel like how he always speaks in extremes, that everything he does is the best, was actually something that worked for him for a long time as selling his name brand was the best, and it somehow gave him infinite money. Basically it was as simple as constantly saying you are the best, and getting money from the suckers that believed it. No actual success in business, just success in running a weird type of MLM company or some shit.
You know guys.. Everyone was committing Tax Fraud back then. I am a follower not a leader so offcourse I had to commit a crime as well.
I am just an ordinary POTUS commiting Tax fraud and admitting it on fucking Twitter. FAKE NEWS
Tax fraud is a sport!
Ah k, so it's not that you were a bad businessman, you were just committing tax fraud. No biggie.
P.S. Everything is a lie!!
Imagine being someone whose mind and awareness is so limited, the only thing that matters in the entire world is knowing your name in golden letters is hung on buildings.

.@RepJerryNadler just responded to this letter on @CNN:
He called DOJ "an agency enabling the president of defying the law... this is just another example of lawlessness."
Will your committee move forward with a vote today?
"Absolutely."

Exactly.
Chuck was just full of shit looking for a talking point to support a Trump idiotic pokicy.
NPR: As Hurricane Relief Stalls In D.C., Trump To Rally Base In Florida Panhandle
President Trump will hold his first 2020 Florida political rally since the 2018 elections on Wednesday, and he's doing it in the Panhandle, the heart of his base in the state.
But the region is facing setbacks because of a federal funding shortfall after Hurricane Michael last fall that threatens to dampen enthusiasm.
"As much as Bay County votes Republican, we don't need a political rally right now," said Bay County Commissioner Philip Griffitts, a Republican. Trump's rally will be in Panama City, which is in Bay County. "We need some good news from the federal government," he said.
Florida is crucial to Trump's reelection chances in 2020. Without Florida, there is virtually no path for his victory. Trump's campaign and Republicans in the state are feeling good about their chances. After all, in a wave year for Democrats in 2018, Republicans were able to win the governorship with a candidate who ran as unapologetically pro-Trump.
In that campaign, Republican Ron DeSantis defeated Andrew Gillum, a Democrat endorsed by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who identifies as a democratic socialist. That campaign is expected to serve as an example for the president's messaging strategy to win the state, trying to paint any Democrat who runs against him as a "socialist."
That anti-socialist message, the campaign believes, will appeal in South Florida to those with roots in Venezuela and Cuba. Trump has backed that up as president with hard-line policy stances toward the governments of those countries.
Still, this is Florida. On average, it has been the closest state in the last five presidential elections on average, and Trump only won the state by a little over a percentage point in 2016.
While many of his supporters don't blame him for the lack of funding for Michael recovery, he can't afford to lose any support in a state this close, especially in the Panhandle, where he got about 10% of his total statewide vote out of the 18 counties in that area.
--------------
Several Florida lawmakers are saying they feel as if Michael has become the "forgotten" storm.
That's despite Trump declaring after Michael hit, "We're doing a lot, more than anybody would have ever done."
The Federal Emergency Management Agency last month touted that it had provided $1.1 billion in funding to the Panhandle with almost $1 billion going directly to survivors. Officials on the ground, however, are frustrated with the agency's denial of claims and the slowness of aid. Bay County has seen 33,000 denials, for example.
--------------
The president's path to reelection remains a narrow one, and he needs Florida's 29 electoral votes. Trump won the state by just 1.2 percentage points, or about 113,000 votes.
--------------
Bay County went for Trump with 71% of the vote. That was one of the highest percentages of any large county in the state. Bay also saw the second-largest increase in Republican votes in the Panhandle from 2012 to 2016. Trump got about 5,300 more votes than Romney four years earlier in Bay, a 9% increase. Across Florida, only Santa Rosa County saw a bigger GOP vote increase.
Facing a reelection bid with Democrats fired up to run against him, Trump is going to need to persuade virtually every one of those voters to come out to support him again.
The internet obviously.
The Elders of the Internet™ hid it in Middle-west where they entrusted its safety to the profession of mortals known as "Farmers" and they've faithfully stood guard for thousands of minutes now.
Cool I'll commit tax fraud too. Everyone should it's fun!
Oh look....
Seems Nancy is giving Trump room to hang himself and he's doing just that.
Do you seriously not know the difference? Would you rather he not say anything?
Trump is doing a great job escalating conflict around the world
Flirting war with Iran, Trade war with China, Fraternizing with Master Putin
This is indeed going to go bad really fast
This was supposed to happen Friday. Trump desperate for people not to talk about his taxes lol
Still supposed to happen Friday apparently, Reuters is confusing:
But Trump says China is still coming to the US to negotiate like planned as well
Fuck the Panhandle why isn't it a part of Alabama. All of world history would be different if that slice of swampland weren't part of Florida.
I often doubt when people claim Trump was using strategic insanity to change the subject during a news cycle. I just think he's senile. But in this case, it does feel like he's rushing the new tariffs to change the subject. The NYT article really is very embarrassing.
I don't think the NYT article will affect Trump's current poll numbers but all these type of stories are like body punches. The damage isn't visually apparent immediately, but when the heat of the 2020 campaign really begins unlike 2016 the majority of the public won't view him as some flamboyant successful billionaire. This time they'll see him as a glorified used car sales man and a complete fraud. Not only a bad President, but a bad business man and literally the biggest loser in the 80s. Trump's base is a cult, so their support will be unchanged. But on the margins, stories like this will have an affect and give DEMs plenty of ammo to needle Trump in public or debates.
JFC it's so aggravating that he thinks "tarriffs = China pays us money"
They still had record midterm turnout after being hit by Michael. Those people are going to turn out to vote Republican no matter what.
'SInce the 2018 election' though i could have sworn he's done a couple since?
Oh the good people at Fox news know all about gaming the system and tax evasion
