It’s not what you pay as owner but as individual . Owners don’t pay taxes unless they have dividends .Losses mean no dividend so no taxes. Fair? Persons pay income tax on their emoluments . There he couldn’t pay only $750 ! A deliberate mistake by the NYT is rather the answer.

Fake news 😂😂😂😂😂

It makes sense why Trump only eats McDonald's and is terrified of being poisoned. Deal with the Russians. Die with a side of Novichok.

He'll have it all covered legally by some loophole or other. The super rich always do.

Trump denied, claiming NYT was spreading fakenews

Does the JoeBiden family pay taxes on the money they receive from foreign governments?

If he’s committed a crime the IRS have always been able to prosecute. The fact that they haven’t speaks volumes

So?

Trump being Trump: “That makes me smart”

Wow..even i paid more than realDonaldTrump realdumnaldtrump even taking into consideration that i paid in RM and also that RM1 = USD 0.24.. Wow this shocking and amazing at the same time.... stupidtrumpsupporters

Smart Guy. Ask how much facebook and amazon paid into the UK. Theirs all offshore. FAKE NeWS , it came from the neW y OrK slimes.

People don’t take into account that his companies supported thousands of jobs, everyone of those jobs ( people)paid income tax. So in essence millions of dollars worth of income tax, because he paid all those people.

Donald Duck, you have at last been found out, the only President not to reveal his tax returns - not because they show you as too rich - but that you are useless at business as well as politics!! You are going to be in court and prison forever when you lose.

Learn the difference between “income” and “net worth”

Pay less tax? Where do I sign up?

$750 in federal income taxes has no meaning without knowing on how much income. Do you idiots think President Trump works for some company that pays him an income? Do you even know what capital gains are and the difference between capital gains taxes and income taxes?

Using tax laws that Obama/Biden didn’t change

Thank God for that! Can't be expecting rich people to pay their taxes, and as leader of the free world we should pay him ,lol.

Every American should pay the same for the next 10yrs, it would be the best stimulus program ever! (And the FED/Treasury would fill in the shortfall in tax revenue no probs) MMT LandTax

Don Al Trampone

No way!

As far as I know that was agreed by the council

Pity leftists don’t know that if your company makes a loss you don’t pay taxes

🤣🤣 Oh God, they're trying this AGAIN? Desperate. This will accomplish nothing and reporters will obsess about it for a weeks. Yawn....

JaneyGodley sing the song Donald where’s ya taxes 👍😂

For decades, like his daddy Fred, Trump has been getting bailed-out by the American people‼️ This clearly shows the ultimate disdain Trump, his daddy & granddaddy have had for America‼️ Their patriotism is this: 'They love America bec there're so many ways to rip her off'‼️

Its called 'being the president.'

Is this what has become? Claims without evidence? Ever heard of the word 'LIBEL'? Really Taxes? Has he created jobs? Evaluate him based on real performance. Publish the tax records of The Clintons, Pelosi, and Biden. Ohhhhhhh

Lie of omission time. How much did he pay in other years? What losses did he have to count against his income?

Is it making any sense yet?

Imagine that. A billionaire not paying taxes. 🤔 hmmmmmm

Anti-Trump propaganda pt 40

Anti-Trump propaganda pt 39

realDonaldTrump POTUS well that's piss poor.

Sure, but that’s like 59,000 Rubles.

Old news

Forget Amazon, Facebook, and all the other tax avoiders, the Tax Dodger in Chief is realDonaldTrump

Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he was elected president & another $750 the following year, 2017, his first in office.He claimed to be saddled with debt & incurred losses that allowed him to avoid paying taxes one might expect for a self-proclaimed billionaire.

Donald Trump gave up his salary of 275k as president to Charities what did you do?

The is owned by KGB Spy Alexander Lebedev and the Saudi Arabian state

His cult following have always been duped.

and?

So..

I work shit jobs and I’m broke, but I paid more than $750. I guess it just is what it is...

Unlike the Obama, Bushes and Clinton's who made fortunes whilst IN office 🤔🤔 any mention of Russia in there? 👀👀👀👀 Thought not..... 😂

The is owned by KGB Spy Alexander Lebedev and the Saudi Arabian state

Ninguna corporación lo hace no mamen las empresas distribuyen las ganancias entre sus miembros o lo re invierten dentro de la empresa ✨💛✌️

Even more reason to keep him as President. This is the guy I want running my country.

You dont pay tax when you lose money🤪

I'll bet $750 that he successfully spins this as a good thing and wins the election because of it because 2020 and nothing makes sense anymore.

TrumpTheLoser

Biggest crook the world has ever seen. No wonder the US is going to shit!

How much tax did 'The Independent' pay in 2016 and 2017? Maybe don't throw stones when you live in a glass house!

And?

The accurate fulfillment of the prophecy of the collision of the neutron stars

“Right now, a number of state laws allow a baby to be born from his or her mother’s womb in the ninth month. It is wrong. It has to change' - Donald Trump. No it's not satire he actually said that. I hereby divorce the human race, drop me off on the nearest habitable planet...

I pay more and I only have a 5 digits income.

Who does he own money to? “We can get all the $ we need from Russia.” EricTrump 2014 TrumpIsALoser DonTheCon TrumpTaxes NetWorthZero

‘report claims..’ yes the report doesn’t provide any proof but if it creates enough bad publicity for Trump just before the election then it will be considered a success for the Democrat media

Easily cleared up. Show your tax returns.

Smart man

These Fox News hosts' old statements about the Supreme Court could come back to haunt TrumpThe talk of the US political world is not only “who will fill Justice Ginburg’s place”, but also the brutal hypocrisy of the Republican party on the issue. Wrong!!! Nothing haunts republicans, they live by the hypocritical oath! Look at videos of Republican Senators in 2016 clearly saying a president should NOT nominate a SCOTUS in an election year. They love going back on their word with no repercussions. It won’t - it never does. They do and say anything they want and their audience drinks it all up. Not really. Everyone already knows they're paid puppets, and incredible hypocrites. Trump won't care. The cult won't care. And nobody else takes them seriously. They're disgusting 'folks', but nothing they say carries any political weight. They're trash.
