The lengthy story found that Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes each year in 2016 and in 2017, and that he paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years, as he reported massive losses to his businesses.

President Trump takes a question during a news conference at the White House on Sunday, where he dismissed reporting from the"New York Times" that he has paid little or no federal income taxes in recent years as"fake news."President Trump takes a question during a news conference at the White House on Sunday, where he dismissed reporting from the"New York Times" that he has paid little or no federal income taxes in recent years as"fake news.

Among its other findings, the investigation also determined that Trump has hundreds of millions of dollars in loans that are set to come due within the next four years — potentially his second term in office — and that he's battling the Internal Revenue Service over a nearly $73 million tax refund he claimed. TheNPR has not confirmed any of the details from the filings; the Times didn't post any of its source documents to protect sources, according to the story.

Asked about the report during a Sunday evening news conference, Trump refused to detail what he's paid in federal income taxes, saying simply:"I've paid a lot."

To bad the secret source was Harry Reid! FAKE NEWS!

Has anyone noticed how great Bitcoin is doing? Better than gold and stocks! Worth more than $10k and supposed to go to $20k by spring 2021!

Truth. Top 10% past 73% of taxes. Bottom 10% PAY NOTHING. The average person makes up 23%

Of course, the emperor has no clothes

So, he’s either a failure as a businessman, or a tax fraud. Actually, he’s both. RacistTrump needs to go. TraitorTrump needs to go. IPaidMoreTaxesThanTrump, like most all of us. I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore!

REPEAL ROE V WADE WITH OUR NEW NOMINEE!!! READ BLOG HERE: Alt Right philosophy FTW!

So, how was NYT able to get this information despite all privacy laws and where even congress is having trouble getting it?🤔

He would say only idiots and losers pay taxes, just he said about fallen soldiers!

That’s not the story. The story is who does he owe $400 million to?!

What a crook

How is this the only tweet and article on this huge story? Pathetic. And the headline is a quote from Trump? Do you work for us or Koch brothers and Trump?

I was hit with a $750 tax bill shortly after graduating law school. I was broke at the time and $750 was painful. I’d love to hear others’ stories. my750story

WHY AFTER FOUR YEARS OF HIS BS DO YOU STILL AMPLIFY IT

Proving what we all already knew...he’s a loser! 🤣🤣🤣 LockHimUp TrumpTaxReturns

He's a poor man pretending he's rich trying to run with the big boys, no wonder he's hiding his income tax returns,

How much employment tax did his businesses pay?

Ok?

I lose almost 30% of every paycheck to taxes.

He should sue NYT for slander if story is Fake News.

You forgot to use the word, “legally”. If an investor buys a company/real estate out of foreclosure. Doesn’t the investor deserve a benefit for getting the asset out of foreclosure?

From 2005 through 2007, Trump paid a total of $70.1 million in income taxes. Do you know that Trump has not collected any salary the whole time he's been in the White House and has donated it ALL to charity or programs that needed more money?

So, what I wish I didn’t have to pay too, not paying is not a crime, the crime would have been had he not filed.. which he did..

Good to have a business man running the country. Guffaw.

The NY Times has a history of lying. If Nancy Pelosi couldn't get Trump's tax records I doubt they could.

Jeez, do you think when living in NYC IRS and Trump hater Cuomo let him off the hook for paying too less? They go after you if you move from NYC for years to see if there are still financial ties to here.

Is his dismissal really the headline here?

I think I just read $70,000.00 for hair styling was written off as a business expense.

Shouldn’t this disqualify him as a candidate?

$750 too much.

tRumpIsaSUCKERandLOSER

...All legal...

Epitome of cynicism ...

Liberal last hope 😂.

How should a corporation's losses affect his personal returns? He's seriously not a Sole Proprietorship is he?

Christ..., what’s wrong with you...! (Headline)

Who wrote this awful lede?

Uhg. Wtf. This is getting fucking old news peoples. “NPR has not confirmed any of the details from the filings; the Times didn't post any of its source documents to protect sources, according to the story.”

Look at all these suckaz believing the fake news 🤣. No sources, no names just believing what fits you're narrative.....

So at ninimum, like Warren Buffett famously said, its wrong for a billionaire to pay less taxes than his secretsry. + everyone paying attention knows Trump is a con artist and a tax cheat who thinks the world owe’s him an apology.

Sooooo call it capitalism and check out npr ceo tax return 🤪

Rich people don’t do their own taxes. If he did something illegal, he would be arrested.

The debt. Follow it

I’m sure tomorrow in the interest of fair and balanced bothsidesism you’ll publish a story about Joe Biden taking a towel from a Holiday Inn in 1973.

So the President of the United States has either been committing tax fraud for the past 10 years or is a horrible business man who has been continually telling the American people how good he is for the economy. Awesome. Love that for us.

The NYTs has NO evidence. They are making this up. If he paid nothing in taxes, which I doubt ... it was due to using the laws. He has hundreds of businesses. All legal. But you go ahead and keep lying. It changes nothing.

Everyone is entitled to claim business losses against income according to federal tax law. Only people who don’t mind paying more tax than they legally owe don’t do so. Taking advantage of favorable tax laws is a fine American tradition, perfectly legal, and totally ethical.

My kid working part time at the Safeway paid more in tax than that. It's obscene. It's inexcusable. It's disgusting.

And what about the fact that he donates his salary to pay for you? Idiots

The Bidens have taken millions upon millions from Chinese Commies and Russian sources but the NYT is still mad that Trump used measures even many SMEs use and employed thousands across America as a result 🤷🏻‍♂️ —Raheem kassala

Trump said that's fake news... easy fix...just release the correct ones... we counting you now. We know you won't disappoint...

Too bad for Trump. Moving on...

marytrump

Then make him prove that it’s not true

So, either he lied to the IRS or he is a horrible businessman.

Anyone wanna bet that every last penny is accounted for and all is 100% legal? Just because you don’t LIKE the facts...doesn’t meant they aren’t facts.

I paid 12k in taxes on my military separation pay.

So FakeNews now do JoeBiden LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder WalkAwayFromDemocrats VoteRed2020 saynotochinajoe

How could anybody possibly obtain his taxes unless it was done through illicit , illegal means.

Nothing illegal though 😂

America needs to wake up and realize trump is a fraud, a complete con man, dishonest, dishonorable and unlawful. He is intentional in his manipulation and lies with the sole purpose to divide Americans. This weakens America people. Our founding fathers would be disgusted. Vote!

Ahhh... Hating the player and not the game. You would all do it if you could.

things npr will absolutely not mention or consider.

How could you have massive loses in an era of economic boom

chatlanis When you pay more for your wireless plan than the billionaire president does in taxes...

BrokeAssLoser

Waiting for the follow up on what the hell the IRS has done these last 15 years...

Why are so many shocked and up in arms about this? This is the man who stood on stage in front of his cheering base at a pre-election rally and said that anyone who paid their taxes was stupid. There's got to be a sounds clip out there from that rally!

This story is actual exposing the problems in the tax code. The IRS needs to be overhauled.

How are you reporting something when there is no evidence? Isn't this just more fake news?

Yeah but no but yeah but like you know when’s the IRbloodyS gonna move on this shaky bitty shit of a president? Better hurry. You know he’s gonna run.

I was 751 retweeting this message!

who violated federal laws by releasing his tax returns. do a story on that

CHEAT by mail is front and center (media can no longer lie about it): See breaking Jame's O'keefe investigation - all on video

Wow. A businessman writing off losses to avoid paying taxes. How unusual.

And these are ACTUALLY REAL 'Tax Returns' or the USUAL Dumocrat 'Secret Stuff' that they get by 'NOT' being the TRAITOROUS SPIES? Stolen, Faked, Forged? etc etc

BULLSHIT. Got credible sources?

Our tax dollars paid for Donald Trump to make almost 300 visits to golf clubs while president and has paid Trump companies nearly $1 million. Donald Trump paid just $750 in income taxes in 2016 and 2017. Voters, ask yourself home much YOU paid . . . .

NPR has not confirmed shit but publish as truth. Probibally total BS. Show us the returns and then we will believe

Fake news

If this was Obama, republicans would be out on the streets brandishing their guns at us! TrumpTaxCheat

TrumpisBiggestLoser In 1995, Trump claimed $917 million in losses - the most of any American in history! A vote for him is like giving thug who robbed your house your car keys TaxFraudTrump 750Dollars BSBillionaire TrumpTaxCheat TrumpTaxes TrumpIsBroke

Are we surprised really?

I payed 175000 in taxes. This garbage did not pay any taxis how can that be?

BIDEN KAMALA 2020

I’m beginning to think trump is some kind of swindler or fraud or a liar or a miscreant, something not really wholesome. I kind of remember something about tens of millions of people talking about his behavior in 2016. His ghost writer for “art of the deal” warned us.

“The lengthy story found” Yeah, the lengthy STORY found! But the nytpolitics FOUND NOTHING! Made the WHOLE FakeNews STORY UP! Did you ask yourself why they didn’t show images of the Tax Returns in the STORY? Can’t show what DOESN’T EXIST! ItsNotWorking! AmericaFirst!

Under legal tax accounting principles these actions for a huge loss are totally normal for large corporations.

We know he’s going to dismiss the reports and call it fake news. You aren’t helping anyone by including that in your headline or photo caption. Report the story. Don’t report his reaction to the story.

It is REALLY time to revisit NY Times versus Sullivan

Given the media's recent reporting of Trump speaking disrespectfully about our military people...using 4 unnamed sources...and then 27 named, first-hand knowledge sources said it was untrue...I think we can expect weekly 'explosive' scandalous articles.

JordanGavaris Does anyone take Trumps word for anything lol.

I think the bigger question here is why Americans have set up a system that lows this to happen? As the saying goes: 'don't hate the player, hate the game' Same thing happens up here in Canada

The Art of the Con

'Trump lies and denies' isn't news, and shouldn't be your header.

And? If he had losses —- it lowers your taxable income. WTF

The real story is the Deutsch Bank dealings , Investigate that instead of this . We knew this years ago .

Wait, he's not a billionaire stable genius?

gut these fish Send a message to repressive and elitists leaders by charging Trump and his ilk with CrimesAgainstHumanity

More fake news.

And he is the greatest 'Art of the Deal' and best 'Negotiator'? Or is he just the greatest CHEAT!

Don't forget the $73 million refund he got.

And

Is there anyone in this country that does not take every break allowed to them?

Why don't you care more? Heartbreak, but no apparent outrage. Chicago PD says, so far this weekend: 35 shot, 6 fatally; 25 separate incidents 2 additional stabbing fatalities. Civil rights issue of the era. Hello Democrats? No cops involved so crickets from BLM.

Like Charles Kirk said. I’m far more interested in the tax returns of a politician who became a multimillionaire than the tax returns of a billionaire who became a politician.

The Trump Tax Returns illustrate three primary things: 1) No unreported connections to Russia 2) MSM Journos & DNC Hacks do NOT understand how running a business and managing assets works tax-wise. Or any-wise. 3) Unlike Biden, President Trump didn't profit from his office.

The lengthy fake news with no factual names and sources by the notoriously anti-Trump New York Times. We shall never forget this 👇🏼

Excellent! I would have done the same! He's already donated his entire salary.

Apparently, Donald spent $1346.00 a week on haircuts. Really? Wise business man? Not any business man I know, and I know a few well-to-do people and no, their not that stupid! Course their verifiably wealthy unlike The Donald.

NYT story will make zero difference. If you're still with Trump, this isn't moving the needle, nor will anything. Look out, anyone walking on 5th Ave!

Sorry nothing this “man” does surprise s me... nothing Trunazism

If the IRS hasn’t gone after him already, why should we hope they will now? Now that he’s president?

Trump thought you only had to declare LEGAL income on your tax return, so that $750.00 is accurate.

Your headline is written in the style of Fox News. Get it together.

Disclosing another person's tax returns is a crime. Who at NPR is heading to jail along with the perp at NYT?

Putin's Puppet! realDonaldTrump

Honeatly surprised he paid even that much. Remember him boasting about not paying taxes during a debate with Hillary? And saying that makes him smart? He’s right. The system is fucked. The tax code needs to change so people like Donald Trump can’t get away with tax avoidance.

Goddammit NPR, how the f*** is that your headline?

All realDonaldTrump has to do is prove it, show his taxes

Lots of business expenses fall into this...not uncommon if you have losses or are putting on new ventures

This story better not make the evidence null and void for use in an upcoming trial!!!

The man who cried “fake news”

good thing he hasn't lied before, thanks !

You report this but not a word on what American treasure Biden had to give Russia for Putin I turn give Biden’s son Hunter $3.5 Million.

Wow, , that headline is a big-time fail. That is not the story here.

I’ve been a tax lawyer for 24 years. This is NOT normal

Hey now do the right journalism thing are post the published response...

So, either he's a shitty businessman, or he's evading taxes.

gagen_patricia Lock him up!!!!

Strait from Harry Reids mouth. get a better lie, this ones been done.

Just like all good tax avoiding Americans

Loopholes. How just are they? Remind me of a quote “the law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.”

Using the presidency to make money, and 200k+ Americans will have died from COVID, what will future generations think.

You can tell that the reporting on his finances is getting under his skin.

Left will cry about this all the next 4 years.

Pretty easy for a freeloading embezzler to be wealthy off of the American Peoples money!

We all heard him!

and how much tax has been paid, federal state and local, by the businesses he's created.? open secret number one: congress - writes tax law to benefit the business owner.

Want to refute the story, realDonaldTrump? Then show us your tax returns!

The biggest takeaway of this story is that his own followers pay more taxes than he does ... he is fooling them, and they don’t even realize it foolmeonce

Fake news. Nobody believes The NY Times

Yoooo 😲 hell I wouldn't want people seeing my ish either if I spent a decade dodging the IRS.

Art of the fucking deal

Massive losses. Just the incompetence we don’t need leading America Inc.

Donald Trump can't afford to lay golf at his own courses.⛳

It turns out that the conman who ran for president based on his business acumen is really a big-time loser with no business skills at all! Do we really want this grifter in charge of our county? Hell no!!!

You need to be on this story like white on Rice!

uuuuuhhhhh

MAGA excuses and rationale coming in 5... 4... 3... 2...

Trump, Bubba is waiting for you in November !!! he needs a room mate in federal prison

Silly rabbit, the IRS does not bother with the wealthy or those they presume are wealthy!

Unless he did it illegally...i don't care.

Massive business losses; is this the mark of a great business man?

Perhaps now? CNNPolitics maddow RWPUSA PamelaSamuelson

And? He's using tax loopholes built and utilized by politicians and the elite. If you don't like it, fix it

Fraud. Cheat. Con. Liar... The story of Donald Trump’s life. 🤨 TrumpTaxReturns VoteHimOut

“the Times didn't post any of its source documents to protect sources, according to the story”. Come on folks - regardless of your political position this should bother you. Media trying to influence elections

More importantly, absolutely no ties to anything 'Russia'...

Well if it’s “fake news” then turn over your taxes for those years and set the record straight

I need the name of his tax planner. Great job!

So the author of that story just said IRS source, Really, anonymous, and if he prints anything he will have his ass hauled into court and the IRS will find the source if there really is one!

&..... was what he did illegal? He did state in 2016 he didn’t pay taxes.

He paid like 15 Virgils in taxes ...

This is absolutely crushing to hear especially when Sen. Mitch McConnell and other Senate Republicans delayed and at times refused to approve aid packages passed in the House to help the American people suffering from the pandemic.

MarkSZaidEsq

Was it illegal? If not, blame the career politicians that created all these tax laws.

The only reason he paid the 75O was because he started collecting a government paycheck. Damn. Pay twice that in rent - w/ or w/o a job In Pandemania.

That same report states he owes large amounts of money to dubious foreign countries including Turkey. Now we know why he sold out our Kurdish Allies in Syria.

Good for him!! Now let’s see how all of the career politicians made their millions working in the public sector🤣🤣🤣

'Cmon man'....Does anyone really believe that the IRS agency is that ignorant....go ahead and not file all you earn income and see what happens, the IRS will be at your home ASAP......Just more fake news

Why is this making headlines? How is anyone even remotely surprised? I honestly thought this was common knowledge no?

Oh, boy. With interest and penalties, the IRS is gonna own Trump and Family forever.....

This is the hour to Genuinely Seek The LORD in Holiness and Righteousness for HEAVEN'S sake. 지금은 부디 거룩하고 의로우며 진정으로 주님을 찾을 때입니다.

welfarepresident

Have you paid your taxes? Well let me tell you: your president hasn’t paid them in years! Are you still proud of him?

He never paid ME back the $71 Million that I lent him.

How did the IRS auditors conclude their 'audit' that has been taking place since ...?

Is Trump a crook?

Really, NPR? 'Trump dismisses NYT reporting...' was the headline you really truly thought this story deserved? 🙄🙄 Try a little harder!!

I paid more than $750 in taxes working part-time.

Of course he is dismissing it. Will end up blaming everything on his accountants.

MarkSZaidEsq His Wharton degree really paid off.

Draft Dodger Tax Dodger Roger, Roger

Someone want to explain to me how I, a retail worker, paid more income taxes in one year than this honkie paid in over a decade?

Can anyone believe the Times?

How the wealthy scam America and live in luxury.

Trump is a pathological Liar, he’s making his money off the American Taxpayers.

The middle class and poor are supporting this country...the truth comes out.

That's IT? That's all you have? How were these records obtained? More Spying on the Democratically Elected President of the United States? Does the Story include evidence? Any proof at all? Nope!

Things are lookin' up!

All he needs to do is release his taxes. And if there is criminal wrongdoing, he doesn't get to nominate a Supreme Court Justice.

NPR gets $75 million from Corona fund to spew Democrat party propaganda.

He paid taxes on money that he donated to the American people That's some straight hero shit..

that news is auditacious

So he's either a business failure or a tax evader. Guy can't catch a break

MarkSZaidEsq When the media shows it has no understanding of depreciation, carry forwards, or secured debt.

I ALONE CAN FIX IT. TAXFRAUDTrump is a Money Losing Machine! There is no way Trumpers can feel more stupid than when finally (some) realize that they have been con by a TRAITOR, a scammer a Daughter molester, and low IQ turd. TrumpTaxes Investigate him for BANKFRAUD

Well Donnie, since we all know how much you like to prove the NYTs wrong, so the answer is simple, release your returns yourself and show what the NYTs got wrong.

His base will praise him for this. They believe in entitlements for the wealthiest and punishment for the poorest. They think that's Christianity

Fraud.

An obvious smear job by the NYT's ahead of the election.

He’s the loser and we’re the suckers

I wonder how much Joe and Hunter paid in taxes?

Why is he always fighting audits and investigations, if he's got nothing to hide?

Again more lies from NPR and other communist organizations

Pays no taxes and uses our money to play golf. And his idiot supporters will be good with this.

Heck melania's pool boy paid more taxes and he got benefits

National Pravda Radio with another smear piece

Why’s that the headline

realDonaldTrump is going to be forced to start running Cocaine again to get out of debt.
