For almost 20 years my words have not always verbally supported the military but my tax dollars have always financially supported the military. For almost 20 years Trump has always verbally supported the military but he has never financially supported them. To our servicemen and women deployed around the world, who is more important?

 Well, I mean if you ignore the $5.6 million (vice Clintons 70K over the last several years) Trump recently donated to veterans organizations, then yeah, he's never financially supported the military... Either way, I sincerely believe there's no conceivable way he hasn't paid any taxes in the last 20 years, otherwise he would be behind bars instead of running for president. Trump may be an asshole, but I dont think he's a criminal. 

Yes Trump said he would donate to Veterans organizations. Months later ,only after questions from reporters about said donations did he actually cut the check. Read the New York Times article on the Trump Foundation very informative. He did not pay any federal taxes due to the exemption I'm sure he is paying state and local taxes on his real estate. Military spending comes from federal dollars. Tax laws are written by rich people for rich people. After five deferments from his military duties to the United States he gets to defer 18 years of his fiscal duty. It may not be criminal but it is deplorable.
