his own law and order

Law and Order, set up by our founders for democracy - all equal under law - everyone follows the same law. Trump doesn't want to follow the same law, but make his own law:

 

1) Say what he wants.

2) Doesn't publish his tax return.

On Friday, Donald Trump tried to walk back his claim that President Obama "is the founder of ISIS" in the most Trump way possible.
He simply blamed the media for taking him so "seriously." "THEY DON’T GET SARCASM?" he tweeted of CNN’s coverage:

What makes Trump’s new excuse so absurd — and so unnerving — is what it says about how he’d fare as president. People all around the world tend to take what the president of the United States says very seriously. Which is why presidents don’t usually make a habit of communicating through sarcasm or by saying things and then claiming they weren’t serious.
Presidents don’t go out and constantly "joke" about invading countries, or about their economic policies, or about their political opponents being terrorists. They tend to put thought into what they say, because the risk of being misunderstood is too high. The fact that CNN (and others) will take what you say seriously is the whole point.
The media had every reason to take Trump’s ISIS comments seriously
This whole flap started on Wednesday when Trump called Obama the "founder of ISIS." ("Hillary Clinton is the co-founder," he said.)
Conservative pundit Hugh Hewitt asked Trump if that’s what he really meant in an interview on Thursday. Trump stood his ground: Like many conservatives, he believes Obama and Clinton’s policies in Iraq allowed ISIS to expand, and to him that’s the same thing as Obama and Clinton "founding" ISIS.

 

 

 

It’s pretty clear that Trump wasn’t joking. In fact, he seemed keen to insist that "founder" was the correct word here.
Set aside the fact that Trump is wrong on the merits here — the rise of ISIS involved a multitude of factors that Obama and Clinton were largely not a part of. Set aside the fact that Trump is stretching the definition of "founder" here. The key point is that this was not sarcasm. Trump was trying to make a point here, and now he’s upset that the media has taken that point "so seriously."
What it means for a president to be "joking"
Any successful presidential candidate usually needs two key traits, argues David Greenberg, a historian at Rutgers University: spontaneity and discipline. But each needs to be deployed at the right time.
Trump has the spontaneity: His shoot-from-the-hip bluntness is one reason he’s so popular with voters. "There is this kind of long tradition in our politics, especially in the last 30 or 40 years, of valuing candidates who are spontaneous and unfiltered," says Greenberg. "Because there is so much spin and crafted talk in politics that we get frustrated with it, we naturally respond to people that seem more candid."
But any good presidential candidate also needs discipline — in part because the presidency requires it, particularly around delicate subjects like diplomacy or managing the financial system, where one stray remark can cause a crisis. And Trump utterly lacks discipline. He puts himself in the headlines with inflammatory remarks almost daily — and can’t seem to help himself.
"He enjoys making provocative statements, and because he is not a seasoned politician he doesn’t know when it will misfire," says Greenberg.
Trump takes this lack of discipline one step further with another key habit: He never apologizes. His campaign usually just tries to flatly deny that he said anything or stretch the meanings of words so far they lose all semblance of what was obviously said, or else Trump just claims he was joking.
"That’s a very dangerous quality for someone who wants to become president," my colleague Zack Beauchamp writes. "A poorly phrased statement by the most powerful person in the world doesn’t just help amplify bad ideas — it can actively cause an international crisis."

据CNBC的报道，根据希拉里的竞选网站公布的数据，2015年，克林顿夫妇的有效联邦税率为34.2%，有效综合税率为43.2%，减税224万美元，缴纳并将调整后总收入的9.8%捐献给慈善事业。

各种演讲是这对夫妇的主要收入来源，希拉里总共从演讲中获得了147.5万美元的收入，而克林顿则从演讲中获得了525万美元的收入，不过他们没有提供这些演讲的任何细节。


克林顿夫妇

克林顿夫妇总共赚取了1070万美元的收入，但调整后总的收入为1060万美元，因为部分收入因为自主创业获得了税收减免。

根据其竞选网站公布的数据，2014年，克林顿夫妇报税总收入为2830万美元，减税510万美元，总共纳税990万美元，支付的有效综合税率为45.8%。

自2007年起，克林顿夫妇缴纳联邦税超过4300万美元，慈善捐款超过1400万美元。

希拉里向特朗普开火

希拉里的竞选网站同时发布了一段视频，内容是此前共和党领导人呼吁特朗普公布纳税记。这些领导人包括了2012年美国总统选举共和党提名候选人罗姆尼、参议院多数党领袖麦康奈尔，以及德克萨斯州参议员泰德?克鲁兹。

CNBC称，希拉里夫妇之所以公布税单似乎是为了重新吸引公众注意，以瞄准共和党总统候选人唐纳德·特朗普拒绝公开纳税记录的行为。
