US President Donald Trump responds on Twitter to a New York Times report about his taxes saying he has 'paid many millions of dollars in taxes' and has a 'very impressive' financial statement.

against those seeking access to his returns, including the US House of Representatives, which is suing for access to Mr Trump's tax returns as part of congressional oversight.

During his first two years as President, Trump received $US73 million from foreign operations, which in addition to his golf properties in Scotland and Ireland included $US3 million from the Philippines, $US2.3 million from India and $US1 million from Turkey, among other nations. The Times said $US9.7 million worth of business investment credits that were submitted after Mr Trump requested an extension to file his taxes allowed him to offset his obligations and pay just $US750 each in 2016 and 2017.

The President could also face mounting financial pressure in the years ahead. The tax records show he's carrying a total of $US421 million in loans and debt that are primarily due within four years.

New York Times released these so called reports, and yet they didn't table the documents, where's there evidence.

Yea. Many millions to other countries to make them great again

When?

Not your Hooker payments Donald, your tax

Really?

So NYT obtained fake information illegally?

The left; “The government is systematically oppressing people.” Also the left; “How dare you not give money to these oppressors.”

He could just prove it by releasing his taxes but he won't because he's a pathological liar.

Surely he could find out the exact number he paid and release that, instead of “many millions”? Tells me it’s probably closer to $750 than “many millions”. Like someone else said, I’m sure he’s paid many millions in unavoidable taxes on Goods and Services but not personal IT

He did pay millions in tax and then they refunded it to him

He’s doing the POTUS job for free so that’s $500K he’s giving back.

Prove it that you paid taxes!!!!!

tRumpty Dumpty thinks anyone with more than 3 Teeth will believe him

ABC FAKE NEWS

Omg he donates his salary every year. This year to clean and repair military burial sites. First politician to loose money in service and you guys are still on about his fucking taxes!!!!

Look let's look past the issues in tax fraud..... How did he pay $70,000 for that hair. I honestly think that's the real scandal! Who got away with that!

Isn’t that what the WP just did?

Did someone hand him a wad of Monopoly money?

the tax man got Al Capone, lets hope he can get Trump

Curious about press obsession over realDonaldTrump tax returns compared to their aggressive disinterest in Hunter Biden’s. Rich men who go into politics concern me less than men whose families become rich from politics. nytimes

Tax cheat!

yeah right

realDonaldTrump yeah, dumbo, but to what countries? Certainly not the good old USA makeamericagaspagain

The only illegal action here was that of whoever leaked the personal tax information.

Trump probably has paid millions in unavoidable taxes like fuel and sales taxes. Like many wealthy people its declared personal income tax that has always been in question

Mexican Millions

SHOW US YOUR 💰

Fake news again from Trump. He’s been caught out

MORE FAKE NEWS

So, where’s your proof? Where are your receipts? My bet is a lot of your supporters are starting to wonder if you are telling it like it is anymore... Am I right?

You could say he has paid $400k per year in taxes. He didn't take the presidential salary

True or false - legal or illegal, Teflon Trump seems to survive anything thrown at him. This will be no different ( unfortunately).

Love how they only reveal/publish his 2016 & 2017 tax. Surely if 2000 - 2015 were all the same we’d have them lined up as well.

Show the returns or it’s all empty words.

Ok Donald, let's see the proof. Nobody believes a pathological liar.

Many amazing millions. Not a lot of people know that. Some of the best millions they've ever seen.

This is the ABC paying lip service to Trump because Ita told them to. I wouldn’t be painting TrumpIsBroke in a positive light even if you paid me

He's paid more to keep porn stars quiet than he paid in tax....

This is taking place in the most litigious country in the world and he hasn't set the lawyers on them?

I bet realDonaldTrump will faint if he was to provide his tax returns for a forensic audit.

Must be Daniel Andrews fault too yeah?

fake news? and even if he’s telling the truth for once, is anyone prepared to believe him?

He also claimed $10,000s in haircuts and paid his daughter for both being an employee and independent contractor simultaneously. Criminality? Risk of punishment for it? ABC you can do better reporting and not give Trump such an easy ride.

You'll be paying your share of taxes if you take a holiday in the big house.

Prove it!

🐂💩

This man was raisedby the master of tax evasion, had a mob lawyer & believes the rules do not apply to him.

Then show the returns. Simple solution.

If the fake news NY Times had found any evidence that Trump broke the law, the IRS would have been on it already. This is a non story, like when Rachael Maddow revealed to her dismay that Trump paid a higher tax rate one year than the socialist Bernie Sanders did.

Simple - show us the tax returns.

All he would need to do to completely embarrass the New York Times and turn this story into a huge campaign advantage is release his full taxes. But he won’t do it; and that tells me everything I need to know.

Donald Trump paid just $750 in US income taxes in 2016, 2017: reportPresident Donald Trump paid no federal income taxes in 10 of the past 15 years, according to a report in the New York Times. Conman, snake oil salesman and fraud .. because the tax system is set up to enable tremendous tax deductions for corporations and the wealthy elite. So much for journalism. The report in the NYT was 'unsourced'... There was no source. Isn't that supposed to be the bedrock of journalism. Its supposed to be true. Yet the SMH runs it and quotes 'a report' when it is only the NYT.

'Certainly possible': Donald Trump says Amy Coney Barrett could help Supreme Court upend abortion lawsUS President Donald Trump's latest Supreme Court nominee, Amy Coney Barrett, would give the nine-member court six conservative justices - if she is confirmed by the Senate. A return to the 19th century? She chose to have a number of children She should allow other women to choose how many they have. Not allowing abortion is fascist bastardry. Imagine an America where the people selected for the highest court in the country were selected on merit, rather than if they were an ideological warrior that would tip the court their way. Just imagine an America that was actually run intelligently like that. What a utopia.
