Trump offers no proof as he claims he's paid millions in taxes and has little debt

revealed he had paid effectively no income taxes over several years, and is facing more than $400 million in looming loan and debt repayments.

Trump, who has been in the White House for nearly four years, in a tweet wrote that he "may" release financial statements showing a list of his properties, assets and liabilities. He did not say why he has not done so to date. The Times reported Sunday that for two recent consecutive years, in 2016 and in 2017, Trump paid just $750 per year in income taxes.

"Also hanging over him is a decade-long audit battle with the Internal Revenue Service over the legitimacy of a $72.9 million tax refund that he claimed, and received, after declaring huge losses. An adverse ruling could cost him more than $100 million," The Times reported."The Fake News Media, just like Election time 2016, is bringing up my Taxes & all sorts of other nonsense with illegally obtained information & only bad intent.

Timothy O'Brien, a Bloomberg News opinion columnist who was sued for libel by Trump over a book he wrote about the president's finances,which O'Brien believe is much higher what the Times reported, makes him a danger to national security.

who wants to pay taxes look at BillGates mcuban JeffBezos MikeBloomberg they all pay no taxes just like the KING said WarrenBuffetter he specifically pays attention to TAX BREAKS he said himself he pays less taxes than REGULAR AMERICANS

Nobody that rich pays taxes and they count charitable donations for write offs. I read bidens taxes, same shit different name.

He gave 1.4 million of his salary to the govt !

I feel so bad that me and my wife earn less than 150000 a year and pay more than 2000 dollar tax above we pay payroll taxes and other taxes the accounting firm who file the tax for Trump and the employee in taxation department who Audit the tax filing of Trump should be punished

Trump lies lies lies he can’t believe a word he says or does is the trumps or nothing

New York Times offered no proof of their info either!

TRUMP IS BROKE

Yes, Trump is awful, but the problem is systemic bribery by the wealthy to create loopholes for them. Biden is a huge improvement but our system needs a grander overhaul.

Don’t mess with Trump

CNBC at its most outrageous anti trump comments. What proof do they have that he has not done as stated by him.

Lies and misinformation from each Network News (CBS, NBC, and ABC) along with CNN and NY Times which are all Extreme Left-Wing ! None understand the Tax Code. All are not fair at accurate reporting. People of America don’t watch or read these liars.

Won’t be long now.. Trumpy out of the White House,, FBI reinstates Comey as director,, FBI arrests Trumpy for treason and tax evasion,, Trumpy running for president of D wing on Rykers Island.. Icing on the cake.. Putin drinks from the wrong glass 😂😂

Liar. Now, everybody knows how to make America great again...don't pay your taxes for 10 years! Plus, it's 👌 to be $300,000,000.00 in debt.

Did you know: The New York Times reportedly paid zero federal income tax in 2017 on earnings of $111 million dollars?

Just like no one has proof about his taxes.

“Each time, he requested an extension to file his 1040; and each time, he made the required payment to the I.R.S. for income taxes he might owe — $1 million for 2016 and $4.2 million for 2017.” NYT

His full statement related total debt to market value of the collateral. Once again you truncated the statement to fit your narrative. Also, the tax returns don't have any info on market values - so don't derive loan:value from the returns. I've given up on CNBC.

Meaningless.

Trump is a pathological Liar. He won’t show his Taxes, so it probably true.

Deny, deny, deny....

Who does he owe money to as no US bank wanted to lend him money as being too great a risk.Son Erik said himself it’s the Russians.His decisions will all have to be looked at and maybe rescinded

Remember the once great CNBC? Now gossip tabloid news. The article makes allegations. States $5 million was paid against future taxes. Also blames President Obama for creating policy to assist, then candidate Trump claim write-off. Who makes the tax law, CNBC?

It's so easy for him to confirm his claims. Show actual copies of his taxes, his debts, and his financial documents. That would be the end of the story, right? Why doesn't he do it?

Thats not uncommon for businesses

Davidlaz

Fake news

Same proof that was given that he didnt pay any

Trump is a walking talking idiot! His eyes are dead give away of little up there!

EXACTLY HOW A PATHETIC PATHOLOGICAL LIAR WOULD RESPOND

Is there going to be a security problem? It's already compromised ☕

His sucker followers are such simpletons.

Funny YOU (NBC) were Trump’s main source of income. $400M + YOU are chief enabler. I love the irony ! Four more years

Honestly, this is not a surprise. I'm sure most affluent individuals utilize high paid accountants to take advantage of the tax code regardless of party affiliation. The real news is that he is not owning up to it. If it's true, why lie about it? No laws were broken. Own it!

Who cares

Neither does the NYT offer proof

Nor does NYT

Is anyone else but the middle class suckers paying taxes?

State taxes?

He needs to explain nothing to unsubstantiated assertions of the NYT, that has become a propaganda arm of the radial Democrat media.

My do you reporter’s let Hitler stand there and lie? When Hitler is lying all of you need to walk out. Because Hitler walks out on you guys. It’s time for all of you to stand together and walk out on him. Please don’t give Hitler any more time.

Democrats left wing media using a ploy to help the hunter Biden story blast that’s coming of how Joe used China to get him and his boy rich while shipping Americans jobs to communist Chin

this man never stops lying

Maybe Fed purchased all the Trump debt ? 😬

yeahhh... let's get rid of the american who pretenselly did not pay his taxes and vote for an american that will allow CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY not to pay theirs... 'great' deal..

We DO have PROOF of FEDERAL CRIME of STEALING someones TAX RETURNS..... Versus ......Nothing illegal done by Mr. Trump. Charge the THIEVES or admit they are FAKE.

Media offers no proof as the accuse trump of offering no proof. To hell with these people.

'no proof' so maddow faked the 2005 tax return she had?

The NYT offered no proof he paid no taxes.

“NYT offers no proof Trump didn’t pay millions in taxes” There, it’s fixed!

Everything Trumps says is just nonsense, everyone knows that. If he could prove he was Billionaire who had nothing to hide in his Taxes he would've done it in a Minute but he's no Billionaire, he owes half a billion to who knows who

Change the tax laws if you don’t approve. Everyone has the right and financial obligation to take advantage of every deduction and loophole that the law allows to avoid paying one damn dollar more to government than he must. Also, The NY Times isn’t an infallible source.

Because he did NOT, nor did anyone else in the TrumpCrimeFamily

What proof do you have he didn't? For sure we know the IRS looked into it!

The proof will be in the years between 2005 and 2016 before he was the president! Somewhat strange that the only taxes that came out was a $750 he paid for 2016 and 2017!

Davidlaz He’s a lying sociopath 🎶🎶

My understanding is that the New York Times article does not include actualDocuments in order to protect their supplier. In other words, they have not offered any proof either.

Make/ Keep America Great by avoiding taxes.

Trump gives away all the 450 k he earns as president!

His taxes prove that he's paid millions in taxes. But it doesn't really matter. It's not his responsibility to pay more in taxes than he owes. No one does that. And if you do, you're an idiot.

He doesn't have to prove anything. Where is your proof that he didn't?

Our Great President...

realDonaldTrump show us your taxes if it is not true.

BenignVanilla JOE BIDEN RELEASED HIS TAX RETURNS AND TRUMP DID NOT. GEE, I WONDER WHY? SHOW THEM WHO IS FAKE, MR. PRESIDENT! ShowUsYourTaxReturns Audit or no audit, show us what YOU SIGNED AND SUBMITTED TO THE IRS. ___

Ahh..maybe because he doesn't have to? His taxes are private.

Who cares. We all aim to use what the law that are in place and the loopholes provided to save money.

I wanna see Pelosi Schumer and Bidens next ! I think we should see them ALL. Every single one of those before elected to office and after leaving office.

Trump lies

Hmmm . . . we need better leadership. Mask up. Vote for Biden/Harris. Care for all. =

Braggadocious foreverly!

Just show your taxes

The NY Times offers no proof. CNBC offers not proof. Take a shower.

These are the benefits of owning real estate.

Concast/msdnc, cdnc are not trying to inform you, people, they're trying to help America-hating democrats by attacking President Trump. 'Donald Trump's 2005 Tax Return Reveals He Paid $38 Million in Taxes on $150 Million Income' TrumpTaxes

Maybe cnbc should read the full NYT article.

Said he paid millions in taxes the same way $nkla said “in motion”

He's had employees. He's definitely paid a lot in taxes.

What about asking Biden how he made over $7 million in 2017 y way more money in $2018?

Again , you all should be above the clickbait news stories when it comes to these issues. You routinely have guests who do the same things personally, with their businesses, or both, and you laud them for it

Why not continue the lie, it’s worked great so far

He never explained what he says because it is a lie again Arizonian please wake up if you vote him again in the country will be down the drain or maybe he can teach us how to cheat and we don’t have to pay income tax?

This is a sure way to defund the police!!!

The article should say THE NY TIMES offers no proof but rumors.

CNBC with no proof claims it has a shred of integrity.

did the media offer proof of russian collusion? nope... but didnt stop you guys from reporting fake claims

Anonymous source... it’s call made up and Fake !!

Media truly is the Enemy of the People.

The man doesn’t pay tax and wants to make America great again. That’s MAGA shit realDonaldTrump

Why aren’t we talking about Hinter Biden and sex trafficking? HunterBidenCollusion

And the NYT offers no proof that Trump paid only $750 in taxes! FAKE NEWS! MAGA2020LandslideVictory 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

😂

you offer no proof you are a news organization I hope it is worth losing half of viewers! HUNTER BIDEN TOOK 3.5 MILLION FROM RUSSIA!! REPORT IT!!!

You are not news. You have become an opinion source only. When will you report on actual news like this? Until then⬇️

Isn't it quite laughable that trump can take advantage of tax breaks to pay little to nothing and everyone of his accusers would do the same damn thing if it were them! Also funny that sharpton can owe millions in taxes from the bo era of destruction and NOT one indictment!!!!

No proof? Ah, so he pulled a NYTimes.

More anti Trump Fake News by DNC propaganda outfit CNBC. ...

How much hate do you need inside you to have to pretend to believe this shit?

finally. you're a little slow but, 4 years later, you're finally beginning to understand. you're still hopeless. you'll be sucking on realDonaldTrump's dick forever but, for once you actually did some journalism. nobody's holding their breath that you can do it again.

Funny, the Obama admin IRS didn’t have a problem with Trumps taxes. BS story as usual. EnemyOfThePeople

trump=desperate

He owns real estate. Of course he’s paid millions in taxes.

WHO CARES? Not anyone I know! VoteRED2020RemoveEveryDemocrat

biden offers no proof he isn’t taking medication

I know you all are new at this news gathering thing, but try reading the Times’ article. He paid millions.

TrumpTaxReturns TrumpIsBroke

Classic Trump. All claims with no evidence to back it up. But it grabs headlines and ignorant people will believe the media is attacking him.

CNBC.. the communist 'Business' network.

CNBC is FAKE NEWS! They show he paid $36,142,505 in annual taxes that year.

NYTs offers no proof either

I'm more interested in how the NYT got ahold of an individual's tax returns. That seems like the much bigger story here.

What if DeJoy leaked Trump's taxes? DelayedMail

Like the BS of Trump having saved millions of lives from coronavirus, Trump's BS is that his debt could have been tens of billions; thus $421 million is 'little debt'.. - Trump offers no proof as he claims he's paid millions in taxes and has little debt

Have 12 yr old look at them. Maybe they can explain it to you. 🙄 You are wrong

The NYT isn't what it used to be.

It’s obvious that they are just trying s as ploy to make him show his taxes

Why should he have to prove anything? Maybe we should be asking how Joe Biden who has been a public servant his entire career is a multi millionaire? If the media only knew that the only people that care are the liberal base they'd calm down.

He only ever presents proof that he DID it. He will admit it eventually. And then double down and say “So what?”.

Release your taxes or Lock him up. Either is good.

The NYT offers no proof and with their track record on Trump, I believe Trump. Common sense , a billion dollar company has armies of CPA's and Lawyers if he did anything wrong the IRS would know and something would have leaked its another BS story and your headline is BS

Have you actual read the NYT’s times article? It’s right there. 👇

Deplorables, you've been conned. 🤣😂

Show us the receipts. Show us the receipts. showusthereceipts

Trump paid his taxes drop it! Where is all the money Hunter Biden illegally collected from the Ukraine and China? Was that money taxed? Or did Daddy use his corrupt Administration with Obama to cover it up? Let's talk real corruption here.

Did the nytimes have proof or just a 'source'?

This is a Business Page. How do you not acknowledge that no Personal Tax payments are noted . No State Taxes noted and a lot of this was during to the recent Recession. Real Estate during Recession went down in value for everyone. You can’t take someone’s taxes out of context.

😱😱😱😱😱

TRUMP2020ToSaveAmerica DemocratsAreCorrupt DemocratsAreDomesticTerrorists

This is America. The onus for proof rests on the accuser, not the accused.

NBC the truth detector 😂😂😂😂

Republicans this is your president TaxFraudTrump TaxCheatTrump If the NYTimes report is FAKE all Trump needs to do is show his tax returns He won’t because he’s a fraud VoteHimOut VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

No proof ?

If America is a racist Nazi hell like Dem's say, killing minorities for fun and games, oppressing all the peoples of colors.... Are we not supporting the pain's and agonies of these colors of peoples by giving the white supremacist systemic system's more $ through taxes?

His tax returns show he paid many millions (overpaid) in taxes in 2016 and 2017. You are such fake news hacks.

Um, if you actually READ the article it will tell you - FakeNews

Wow. I don't like Trump, but I would like to learn how he is able to get away from paying taxes. Oh, when do you plan on looking into Hunter Biden and the Russians?

NYT has to prove their claim first.

where is the proof he didn't?

so. the other side needs to proof of their illegally gained info

Cherry picked tax return information is meaningless. You can twist it any way you want. But theres many book differences and details not presented in a tax filing. Especially with the complexity of his returns.

CNBC = msnbc

Trump PAID, as in transferred to the US Treasury, $1 million in 2016 and $4.2 million in 2017. Note also that most of the overpayment was rolled forward, not refunded. The $750 figure is an ADDITIONAL $750. Thus every single story saying he paid $750 is a lie.

firejimcramer

as always, he has nothing. smoke and mirrors.

TrumpIsBroke

NYT has offered no proof they have a private citizen's tax returns, but sure, pile on. Guess we can all get each others' tax returns now.

He does not have to offer proof.

This dude is in his own fantasyland and lies through his teeth, his is aka the Grandmaster is Lying!

What do you expect from a serial liar and con artist? Same guy who said he’d release his tax returns and never did (now we see why, something anyone could have predicted). This man isn’t fit to hold any public office & never has been.

And your point is? I paid hundreds in taxes. Do I need to prove it? Nope!

Hes fucked. Like Wesley snipes and Capone.

Still won’t personally release the tax returns...

Americans are asleep, why do we allow corrupt Govt Bureaucrats to tax us so heavily! ABOLISH THE IRS! 🔥🔥🔥 TaxationIsTheft 🚨🚨🚨

Nope it’s already being proven he paid almost nothing in fed taxes.

There’s LITERALLY proof in the original article. How are you guys this bad at your jobs?
