Saudi King to Trump: Let us work for peace

"Custodian King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud had a telephone conversation with President-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, during which he congratulated him on winning the presidential election, Saudi Arabia’s official news agency SPA has announced.

During the conversation, King Salman confirmed Saudi Arabia’s aspiration to promote the historical and strategic relations with the United States, and work together to bring peace and stability to the Middle East and the world, and wished the American people further progress and prosperity under his leadership.
President-elect Trump expressed his thanks and appreciation to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques for congratulating him, and emphasized his keenness to develop the distinctive bilateral relations between the two friendly countries, the statement said."

Meh. Only two things i care about...

1) They voted in a rapist/tax dodger and crim
2) The TPP is dead (hopefully)

Rapist. No proof of that is there?

Tax dodger. Nope he paid the tax he legally had to. I'm sure you try and minimize the tax you pay and are not paying a heap more than you have to out of the goodness of your heart.

What makes you think you know what the American people need more than what they do. And it's funny Aussies like to think of yanks as self centered, ignorant people.
 
end of day, they voted him, and they can vote him out. If he goes stupid, they will. One has to be careful with power; first time since 1928 republicans hold power in all three parts of govt, and he will also alter makeup of supreme court.

Obama also pissed people off with his decrees as well.
 
Rapist. No proof of that is there?
.

He is currently being sued by a Woman who claims he raped her at one of that Pedo Epstein's party.

Tax dodger. Nope he paid the tax he legally had to.

Your Diploma of Swimming Pool Management hasn't served you well has it Barry.

Substance over form is the term Accountants like to use. Lawyers like to use the phrase "the spirit of the act".

Just because you can find a loophole, doesn't mean that your Financial Statements represent a True and Fair view which is the overriding principle. That's first year Accounting Barry.


But like you, his Lawyers would sit there all day arguing waffle so as to get away with it.
 
No matter whose side you are on, that's the crux of this matter around here. It's a pain arguing with some kunce who just like to argue.

If you think the arguing is painful try just getting a straight answer (no pun intended) !!

i am pretty apathetic by nature; i generally don't care what's going on beyond my physical sight (except for things like family).

Just those two points i think are important, as well as the morality of the guy; i think leaders should be very honourable and upstanding citizens who are widely respected.

Probably smarter to comply with the letter of the law rather than the spirit when it comes to something like tax.

'True and fair' is an audit term. Pretty sure that was third year accounting but it's a while back now. True and fair has exactly zero to do with the fulfillment of civic responsibility. Truth refers to mathematical accuracy and fairness refers to whether the presentation of the information as a whole is misleading. Truth and fairness is a very high standard to achieve and difficult to attest to which is why audit reports used to use the term 'presents fairly' rather than true and fair.

Tax Law is still Law. The spirit of the Act is what Courts eventually go to.

AASB101 Presentation of Financial Statements (True and Fair view) is first year Accounting, not just Auditing.
 
Is the assumption here that all other politicians or presidents never flouted a law, tax or otherwise? or is it just that everyone thinks Trump does it beyond an acceptable standard ?

That's the name of an accounting standard. It still has zero to do with being a good citizen. If you don't pay your tax and the financials correctly record the fact, they will still be true and fair as far as the accounting standards go.

WTF. If your Financial Statements do not represent a True and Fair view it is essentially Fraud, although people will argue (successfully) that they complied with AASB666 Property Plants and Marijuana yada yada.

Accounting standards are about the preparation of financial statements. They are not about compliance with legislation, tax or otherwise.

WTF. AASBs (Australian Accounting Standards) have the force of Law under the Corporations Act.


AASB101 Presentation of Financial Statements:

"Aus13.1 The Corporations Act requires an entity’s financial report to comply with Australian Accounting Standards and, if necessary to give a true and fair view ..."
