President Trump denies New York Times report he paid only $750 in income taxes in 2016 and 2017

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump denied a news report Sunday that he paid only $750 in personal federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017, but did not provide evidence and again refused to release his tax returns.

The Times, citing tax return data it obtained spanning two decades, also said Trump paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years,"largely because he reported losing much more money than he made." Trump was the first major presidential candidate in four decades to refuse to release tax returns. The president is currently embroiled in a legal battle withManhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance is investigating hush money payments allegedly made to two women who claimed to have had affairs with Trump before the 2016 presidential election.

Alan Garten, a lawyer from the Trump Organization, told the Times"most, if not all, of the facts appear to be inaccurate" in the report. The report comes two days before Trump is set to face his Democratic challenger Joe Biden in the first presidential debate, and just 37 days before the election.

He should resign !

Get me his accountants number

Just more unnamed sources and opinion. Ridiculous.

His face is like it wears the mask as TZorro...not paying TAX-ORRO...the Tango just started at Lago...Hey Reec...Ivan K...and the little snoring Danjr...at the end, Mela Z'Nia...will fly back to Russia...finally he will play again in The last Home alone...and The Last TZorro Don.

Don’t care

Tax delinquent president..!!!

Wow..he has a great tax agent..great JOB the DONALD..

Why is this not highlighting that he’s over $400 million in debt? Would that not compromise his decision making?

USA Today--prove it. You reported it. Now you prove it.

Ok now do the story on the politicians who made millions after being in office even though their salary was in the $100k range. I’ll wait. But not for long.

Now link this revelation with his desperate actions and the bigger picture emerges as to why he puts his interests over America's. The W.H. is no more than a hustle that pays his bills.

That's gr8

NY Times? Or the Enquirer?

Which can only mean he had some serious tax losses to absorb; are we surprised; of course not. Tell me something new!!!

Our president:

HES GOING TO PRISON WHEN HE LOSES

When you are donating your whole salary to charitable organizations that severely reduces any tax liability.

If the tax records showed Trump was a successful businessman, they'd have been plastered on faux entertainment every night for the last 4 years. Instead, they show the the kind of loser you would expect from the parasitic orange imbecile's performance masquerading as president.

P

Good for him 👌🏽very smart man

As long as my taxes got lowered after he was elected, I don’t care. Matter of fact, I didn’t care before.

More leftist propaganda. All month long the stream of crap will flow. On Nov 3rd, I will vote Trump because I love America and what we stand for. The President loves our American ideals.

Why would anyone believe the corrupt NY Times.

Please cite laws that were broken please?

And how much did he pay during the year? Just saying he had to write a $750 check at the end of the year doesn’t mean he didn’t make tax payments during the year.

That’s personal income tax not corporate! Most rich people don’t pay themselves therefore they don’t pay that much in taxes personally! It’s a smart move! Don’t like it change the tax laws. He broke no laws!

USA Today is a news organization which needs to look into this.

Now that's a big surprise

It's in his book The Art Of The Deal. I applaud realDonaldTrump for knowing how to file his taxes. He didn't do anything illegal.

Trust and believe, his base supporters DO NOT CARE even if they are suffering paycheck to paycheck

Just another scam from Scammer in Chief, Trump. Trump's been scamming for decades.

Yeah, and he and the all the other millionaires and billionaires while regular Joe taxpayers pickup their tab to use all the state and local resources.

Who the F cares

TaxationIsTheft

there is 1 way for him to prove its fake news.. release his taxes and prove that he us paying his fair share of taxes... bet he wont release them

If you believe that lying scum bag it would be very easy enough for him to prove all the Nazi pig has to do is provide his tax returns like everyone else has done in the past. Congress needs to pass a law that no person can run for any office without providing their tax history.

Freeloader

Blame the tax code. No one pays more than they need to

SMART. It is savvy business people (employers, manufacturers, service providers) who hire CPA firms to utilize all regulations and U.S. tax breaks which ensure continued sustainability, so they can grow and maintain their businesses....and keep hiring and employing Americans.

poor chap! he got to be a US President in 2017!😊👍 The First-Person of The-World!😊👍 What a Great-President loving&respecting his country&people!😊👍

The president has donated all of his earnings to charity.... Are you seriously questioning his life? Obama ate up his $400K a year payments, while trump gives it away.....

Remember the 1 billion credit mentioned in 2016?

FakeNews DrugTestbiden ElderAbuse JoeBiden DrBiden

NYT really 😀😀

With these massive debts they have caused, there needs to be immediate action to ensure the rich and corporations cannot avoid taxes through deductions and loopholes. If not, forget Biden’s promise of no taxes for the middle class as someone has to pay

And most if us poor middle class citizens paid thousands

Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! Donald Trump

He believes he is above all laws!

Who cares. Most wealthy people avoid taxes.

Do you think is just fuel for the debates? Or to try to goad him into revealing his taxes?

BunkerBoy & The Tax Man. From Draft Dodger to Tax Dodger. who will write the Book ?

Good God! THE REAL STORY SHOULD BE HUNTER BIDEN! Russia collusion! Obama /Biden illegaly spying on Trump compaign! WTF is wrong with MSM?

How is it that I am struggling to survive and not lose my home while paying $30,000 in taxes being a full time working single mom and Trump pays literally nothing in comparison? What world are we living in?

I think realDonaldTrump could *easily* prove the nytimes wrong By releasing his taxes

Trump is a proven liar. I hope this NYT report is causing heartburn for all the GOP in Congress, ....... assuming they don''t commit tax fraud on a recurring basis

Yadda yadda yadda all untamed sources WalkAwayFromDemocrats

No one cares. You released it too early. Come up with the next scandal no one will give a shit about

He denied making payments to a porn star. Liars are going to lie.

You know what would settle this? Release your taxes realDonaldTrump

Quit repeating his lie. IRS commissioner said being under audit does not prevent one from releasing income tax filings.

He doesn’t get paid , so it should be zero tax

What else would a liar say?

Release your taxes & we will believe U realDonaldTrump !

Easy enough to prove if it aint true.

I took the time to read the whole nyt article. Very interesting, especially the “consulting fees” to his children

Only ONE way to prove the story is false. But since we all know it’s true, he’s crying foul, denying it, and clutching tightly to those returns. And, no doubt, asking Barr to fix it for him.

Tax fraud charges await. Massive debt is due. That’s why he’s he so off the rails. I can’t wait for Biden to bring this up at the debates. If Trump will even show up.

Prove it isn't ttue

Ok, release your tax returns!

Wow! The investigation, published Sunday, reveals tax deductions on expenses including $70,000 on styling his hair..guess I’ll claim tampons!

Too bad this wont make any difference and there arr no consquences

xmartha1 And

Well, then, he can clear that up quickly by showing us exactly what he paid - otherwise we will consider the article as fact.

DebBRVA Okay then release YOUR ACTUAL TAXES. Nothing to it. We'll wait. No rush.....

Okay, show us the returns!

TRAITOR

Then produce the documents. realDonaldTrump it's easy to prove the story is false.

Of course realDonaldTrump does. Do you seriously think he is going to admit to being a criminal? Come on....TrumpTaxReturns Prison4Trump

As important are the huge losses he records. Not the successful business man he claims. Perhaps successful at con and cheat games

The bigger story is the questionable deductions and expenses. Could be more than just fines. And obviously his position as a billionaire successful businessman is FAKE

This is what millionaires and billionaires do, they use all available loopholes to pay the bare minimum. The loans he’s received are for investment properties those loans are based on the value & income of the properties not his personal tax returns.

So? Let's see Schumer's, Biden's, Pelosi's, Obama's, Clinton's, etc.

He is lying. Again.

Trump tell me how you did that..

As soon as the audit is complete our President can release his taxes and clear this up.

How can Trump sleep at night with his illegal life. Instead of Trump going into a senior home HE will be going to prison instead.

Awesome 😎

When it comes to DJT is everyone now supposed to side with the evil tax man? Most people don't even understand business v personal tax, revenue v profit, accounting, etc etc. Try again... I'm sure you will 🤡🤡🤡

The democrats are using everything they can to win

TrumPutin2020 🇷🇺

Careful there, Sparky. Receipts, y’know?

Prove it.

Trump claimed he paid Thousands for his Hair per Tax Year.. What kind of hair worth that much...!

Shocking that he denies it. That’s his 1 go to move. BidenHarris2020

Tax laws are always in favor of the rich, and that should not be. It should be plain common sense that the more you make the more taxes you should pay. That is the way it should be always. Then you have the filthey spoiled rich that thinks otherwise. Penalities in placeLawBreaker

Hunter Biden received a $3.5 million wire transfer from Elena Baturina, the billionaire widow of Yury Luzhkov, the former mayor of Moscow a known associate of Vladimir Putin...He also paid Hookers Where are our fearless “journalists” now that there’s a real Russia connection?

why hide your tax returns if he has nothing to hide?

I. DON'T. CARE!!!!

Where’s Hunter TeamTrump

He hid them for years!!!! Now he’s crying fake news! Bahahahahaha

Sorry you can't deny what you have given to the government. The POTUS is a crook.. SIMPLE AS THAT.. Stop with the foolery..

Liar

How much did you pay

Of course he does 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤔🤣🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤔🤣🤔🤔🤔🤣

5k Federal tax bill for 2019. Denied PPP for my small business . I would love the Harriet Tubman. I guess Mnuchin will find the money now. I predict 5 resignations this week.

Back it up buttercup!!! Release your real tax returns!!! Talk means nothing!!!!

It's all going to come out in the wash (laundry).

Oh now that's even worse for him. Because now by denying it, he's admitting that it's not a good thing

Mr. President you can't deny, the numbers never lie 750DollarMan

Of course the Liar in Chief is a Liar

The President categorically denied these unverified claims that you'll gladly echo in an attempt to help his political opposition because you are THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE.

It's just too bad no one believes him anymore.

If anybody believes anything this man says, I have a bridge for sale. First come first served!!!!!

The question isn’t did he pay taxes. The question is, did he do anything illegal if he didn’t pay taxes. If nothing illegal then the issue is with those that make the tax laws, not the many people who “work” them. And BTW, if illegal, he should be prosecuted.

Bezos paid zero

Pure Evil 💀💀💀💀in our WH Vote🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊💪💪💪💪💪

Where’s your proof?

To excuse is easy to prove is something quit different... let new york time prove the allegation

Then trump should be able to back up his claim with legitimate proof.

I'm sure he does 😂😂😂

Wow, Americans will be taking about this all the way to November.

Let me guess..............fake news, and anyway, it’s under audit, that’s why I fight it all the way to scotus...............duh!

Tell him to call his buddies the Russians and tell them to stop helping him.

Nerp

He can prove it tonight.

/ / / EpsteinBlackBook JeffreyEpstein

This means he has validated the story.

Who care?

The source who provided the information was breaking the law by providing it to the NY Times, the NY Times knew this and participated in the criminal release of the information. Sounds like a criminal conspiracy to me.

Blame the tax laws. And I do believe in Obama’s first term, the Democrats controlled the House & Senate, so they could have changed the tax laws if this was really important to them.

Some context. People below the poverty line pay more in taxes than the 'billionaire' president. TrumpTaxReturns 750DollarMan

Well, easily refuted. Just release your tax returns. Given you like to prove the NYTs wrong, that should be a pleasure for you to do. TrumpTaxReturns TrumpTaxes

Easy way to prove it, Spanky.

Show us then, snake oil salesmen 🇺🇸

What a bum 🤡

Stormy Daniels has received more money from Trump than the United States has lmao!

Fuckin. Prove. It.

Federal income taxes paid in 2017 (jointly with spouse): Joe Biden - $3,742,974 Kamala Harris - $516,469 Bernie Sanders - $343,882 Elizabeth Warren - $268,484 Donald Trump - $750

From 2005-- 2007. He paid 70 million. Did u report this? From Hugh Hewitt.

Mahdi Hashi arrested?

I don’t believe this! The commies in NYC tax you to death!

Looking old old old

Because he donated his pay for 2016 2017

Anon sources... pathetic losers I say

But refused to cover Hunter Biden?

Pretty sure this is illegal to leak TheJusticeDept

Maybe he should release his tax returns to prove the Times wrong.

Good planning

Show me the part where he broke the law. That's what I thought, a political hit piece. mediaisthevirus

I honestly believe trump could murder one of his cult member’s children and they would blame the child and still support this pig of a con man.

Let our country heal and stop reporting fake news! Report on how your city is burning and considered an Anarchist area. you are an enemy of the people

So no proof he was ever paid by russia? Cool. Move on!

Keep the guessing coming thick and fast until then hard facts matter.

必须对特朗普一查到底

Blame the tax laws. And I do believe in Obama’s first term, the Democrats controlled the House & Senate, so they could have changed the tax laws if this was really important to them.

He also donated his salary

You're all nuts. The IRS just looks and sounds as ridiculous as you do. They weren't doing their job if this is true.

Nice try.

And Newsome hasn’t claimed his multi million dollar home that was given to him by his cousin..let’s pull Pelosi’s taxes and the rest of the fraudulent Democrats and see what they didn’t do..I want to see with all the vineyards they have if they are in compliance🤷‍♀️

I paid more than that each year he’s been pres

Emperor has no clothes. Basically a fraud. TrumpTaxes/TrumpTaxReturns

Another 'source'. Predictable

Ya’ll acting surprised realDonaldTrump hasn’t paid taxes. Ummm 🤔 I bet you did though. Greatestconever TrumpTaxReturns

Of course he's gonna deny it. Now he has to prove it that he paid his taxes.

Your boy GOP !

Trump is a FRAUD! $750?!? This all very unfair. SAD!!

Of course fake news

219...INDIANA love..LOCKHIMUPNOW

Sounds like a smart accountant taking advantage of any and all available resources.

New York Times article quote: “President Donald Trump denied a news report Sunday that he paid only $750 in personal federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017, but did not provide evidence and again refused to release his tax returns.” As usual, no evidence. Emphasis on that.

He donated his paychecks

Only a clown would say I'm being audited for years then the truth hits home and it's fake news the only fake is at the head of United states period justices can't get you out of this chump

Don’t hate the player , hate the game

Who cares? Did you do anything illegal until now? Any answer?

BREAKING: Smart billionaire knows how to save money!

The broke billionaire

Trump supporters will say “so what he used the tax system and all its loopholes and credits and write offs”. The problem they don’t understand...he has received BILLIONS in loans...loans based off his income...which means he’s lying about his income. THAT IS FRAUD.

Now comment on the full NYT’s report. It actually helps Trump. But that doesn’t fit your biased opinion.

So this is proof that Trump is not profiting off of being President, despite the Democrats constant whining that he is. Great news. Thanks NYT. Now IRS needs to investigate how NYT illegally obtained the private financial records of a US citizen.

😂

Politics aside how does one go about learning how to do this? Asking for a friend.

If this was a crime he would be in federal prison.. I wish I had his accountant, then again, I don’t own a bunch of businesses etc.

The is a weapon I beg Biden should use in the debate Biden should call Trump a: Sexual predator Draft dodger Mass murder Tax evader Conman

TRUMP PAID 750 DOLLARS IN TAXES. I AM THROUGH WITH THE GOP! THAT IS A FOURTH OF MY TAXES!! CORRUPTION! I VOTED 59 YEARS GOP AND I AM VOTING BLUE TOMORROW!! MAGA2020 KAG TrumpTaxReturns Trump Trump2020 SICKENING CORRUPTION

Well the only way we can be sure is if he releases his tax returns for our perusal

Six business bankruptcies. First personal bankruptcy on the horizon.

Fake news

fakenews

Considering the losses he has taken and networth dropping over $1billion, I’m surpised he even paid any.

2 things 1) is anyone surprised? 2) who the F cares?

Sadly, I don’t believe this matters to many Trump supporters. Their loyalty is unwavering. I truly wonder, what it would take, where is the line. Animal torture live on television? What would it take to burst the bubble of Cult Trump? CultTrump TrumpCult CultMentality

More FakeNews ?

My birds paid more in taxes than this clown.

So the NYTimes broke the law to show that Trump didn't. That was nice of them.

haha who cares. Are Democrats back on his tax returns? I guess things are getting desperate huh? haha hilarious.

We all know the moron is a cheater.

Can they back that up? Show us the proof.

Good for hi

Fake news... Mueller's team thoroughly examined Trumps taxes. They found nothing.

Give him credit. He’s a primo con man.

That makes him smart. Also unnamed sources once again from the NYT. Strange!?

Thanks to a law signed by Barry O'Bomber
