according to a report Sunday in The New York Times.
Trump, who has fiercely guarded his tax filings and is the only president in modern times not to make them public, paid $750 in taxes to the federal government the year he was elected, 2016, and $750 again his first year in office. Speaking at a news conference at the White House, Trump dismissed the report as "fake news" and said he has paid taxes, though he gave no specifics.
The disclosure, which the Times said comes from tax return data it obtained extending over two decades, comes at a pivotal moment ahead of the first presidential debate Tuesday, and weeks before a divisive election. A lawyer for the Trump Organization, Alan Garten, and a spokesperson for the Trump Organization did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Associated Press on the report.He said in a statement to the news organization that the president "has paid tens of millions of dollars in personal taxes to the federal government, including paying millions in personal taxes since announcing his candidacy in 2015."U.S.
His salary is donated to charity. It’s all legal. It’s hearsay. When a high earners takes risk they invest create jobs economic growth & larger tax revenue base. If they lose who pays them? They get a write off but that’s it. Why don’t you look at the flip side?
Why should Canadians care..... He's NOT OUR PRESIDENT.......
Uh ya He worked for free And lost millions in his holdings
STFU CTVFakeNews
A story, based on documents not released to the public, relying on anonymous sources. In the meantime (h/t .johnrobertsFox):
Why should Canadians care.. anyone ever check to see how much income tax Trudeau paid?
Yawwwwwwwwnnnnnn.
Proven as more FAKE NEWS by NYT’s, colluding with Biden campaign. Far Left CTV carry’s the water so the Low IQ left in Canada can be misled! It’s called political propaganda when you’re losing in the polls like Biden’s campaign. Minutes after this came out, the Biden’s Ad was out
Now do Trudeau.. How much money did Trudeau family got from the wescam ?
SELF-EMPLOYED HAVE WRITE-OFFS
Bahahahaaa.... the trumpets are funny. You do realize that he has always been losing money it appears. You only need the old articles. Realize he is scamming the tax payer by forcing them to use his premises. Are those stays free? Naaaa
Hey CTV....publish what the Trump Organization paid in tax previous to that. For clarity. CherryPicking Orrrrrr....Maybe just hold our Leader accountable for his actions once in awhile. That’d be swell
So he donates his entire presidential paycheque, his companies employ hundreds if not thousands, his companies contribute to overall GDP. But, the only metric you care about is personal income tax. More importantly. ⬇️
Isn't this the 3rd time mainstream media has done the anonymous source Trump tax return fake story
jsseony 심하다. 나보다 조금 냈냐.
He also donated his entire salary to the charity that year.
Canadian Trump fans rn
Great accounting 👍
Lol!!!
realDonaldTrump
He should apply for CERB
no different than any other rich person with the money to pay fiscal specialist and creative fiscal strategists..tax havens and family foundations...all politicians do it..ask Trudeau
CTVNationalNews the right question is what happens to his pay as president he donates it! Each 1/4 goes to a different public program.. The only other politician i know like that is rob ford
CTVNationalNews In other news......
Now do Trudeau
He has worked for free for 4 yrs and has lost millions of dollars because his hotels have been shut down for a year. Why do you never tell the truth
CTVNationalNews Fake news
Trudeau takes half million dollars from a taxpayers funded kids charity and gives it to his family members 🇨🇦
CTV , why don’t you do your own investigations on Trudeau .? Boy the dirt you guys could come up with . There’s a reason he goes in hiding and avoids questions.. Or you guys don’t have the balls cause you’d loose funding from our tax money. ?
And what did he pay in employee tax, property tax, what were his charitable donations ? How many people did he employ ? Oh and what did Morneau and Trudy pay with there off shore holdings ?
Singling out trump isn’t fair, look at Amazon and other major companies and you will see they haven’t paid any taxes
American news
Crook
And he’s been donating his salary as president to charity for the past four years.
Tax law allows individuals and corporations the ability to carry forward losses indefinitely in order to offset future gains- perfectly legal
Duhh he donated his salary which gives him Huge writeoff for investments growth
So he donates his entire presidential paycheque, his companies employ hundreds if not thousands, his companies contribute to overall GDP. But, the only metric you care about is personal income tax
Look at who is really screwing US... A hint... Its not Canada.
Boy , you guys love to push the hate. Your news network is a joke.
Fake news. FakeNews
Now do Trudeau!
Good for him.
I need his accountants.
MSM edition: stolen tax returns show no evidence of illegality or involvement with Russia - Son of nominee/ex-VP got $3.5 million from Russians and was involved with sex trafficking
How much tax did Trudeau pay ? How much tax sheltering goes on with his various trusts, numbered companies and foundations? Why did Morneau have a numbered co in Alberta with no offices there? Canadian News is pathetic
No curiosity about Hunter Biden and the wife of the Mayor of Moscow paying him $3.5m, or China giving him $1.5b to play with, or Burisma from the Ukraine paying no job Hunter $50k a month. The Biden family has gotten very wealthy while Joe held office making a Senators salary.
Pathetic little man.
So after 4 years of asking for them, we're to believe they magically came up with them 1 month before the election. Right. mediaistheenemyofthepeople
Hmm CTV would definitely report that Hunter Biden received 3.5 Million from the former Mayor Moscow? If Trump paid only 750$ in tax I definitely want his tax advice that's pretty amazing.
If New York Times has the proof why can't they just release it. I'm done swallowing any news without substantial evidence.
Good for him..
Fakenews
Wow, that is fascinating, eh ? Speaking of taxes, The Canadians fortunate enough to be working will soon be paying a lot more taxes, eh ? God Bless Canada ! We watch de Americans all day, eh ?
Both FAKE NEWS channels!
The system is equal for everyone
750 more than Amazon paid
Bombshell NYT story on Trump tax returns shows that he received a $3.5 million wire transfer from a corrupt Russian tied to Vladimir Putin. Oh wait, no, that was Hunter Biden, and the NYT didn't even report it.
Fake news
Hero. No one should pay over $750 in taxes. Imagine the freedom of being in charge of your entire paycheck. MakeTaxationTheftAgain
He has given his presidential salary away to the American people $400,000 a year.
Now do Trudeau and the gang.
That much?!
FakeNews does an excellent job at finding thing against Trump. Now do Trudeau.. How much money did Trudeau family got from the wescam?
He spends more than that per year buying tanning bronzer.
and the bill for his secret service golf outings is?
LOCK HIM UP....!
Now do Hunter Biden!
New York Times LMAO Chinese propaganda!
I seem to remember him bragging about making about $400 million in one of those years.
Fake news from left media
Unbelievable... That much!!
NYT has no credibility. They will not release the tax documents they have. FAKE NEWS
Now do Justin, start with his off shore accounts.
Is there a difference between personal and corporate taxes in the USA? I’m guessing his profitable companies has to pay corporate taxes. It would help people understand the issue better should the reporter make that distinction.
Tweet by CTV shows that they have no clue. Americans didn’t vote 4 Trump because he’s an amazing businessman. America knew he went bankrupt several times. Voted 4 him because they were tired of the same old same old elitism in the White House. They don’t care about tax returns.
It’s deductions to taxable income. He has tons on assets and deductible expenses to lower his available taxable income. Smart man
Doesn’t he donate his salary every year? Wouldn’t that make a big difference? I’m not pretending to know, so don’t all the trump haters start crapping on me, I just heard that was what he does.
Crook
NYT... As credible as CTV.
BAHAHAHAHA 750 lmao quick trump bootlickers come screaming out of your cave to tell us how great this POS is.
Blah blah blah. Here we go again taxes..
Look at CTV posting that American FakeNews again 🤣🤣
Of course this is true, he is a phoney.
