The Times claims that it has obtained Trump’s individual and business tax documents going back over twenty years, a “trove” containing mountains of data. Trump denied the charges, but the left ignored him. However, an astute Twitter user noted something that others missed: While the Times wrote the report to imply that Trump paid only $750 in taxes for several years, a careful reading reveals that Trump did pay millions in taxes, plus an additional $750.
On Sunday, the New York Times published a lengthy article based on Donald Trump’s personal and business taxes. It bears repeating here that this was grossly illegal conduct on the part of the person who gave the Times these taxes and, quite possibly on the part of the Times itself which, at the very least, aided and abetted a felony. But to get to the point, the main thing every Trump hater (and some Trump supporters) took from the article was that Trump, the billionaire, paid only $750 in taxes for a couple of years.
Trump vigorously denied that charge and said that he’d paid millions. The Biden campaign, however, ran hard with that $750 concept:

Yet again.
It's intentional !
Another media hit piece by big tech, and the media.
Hell, Harry Reid stated publicly that Mitt Romney paid NO taxes and got away with it.
And dumbasses bought it.
wow... $750 in taxes... what a genius!
Yes, Trump paid millions in estimated taxes when he was granted an extension.
No, Trump did not pay millions in taxes for those two years. Once he filed, he owed $750. He requested that lieu of a refund, his previous estimated payments be applied to the next tax year.
So, did Trump's federal tax bill come to $750? Yes, but...
So, did Trump pay millions in taxes for those two years? Yes, but...
I paid more last year that Google, Amazon, Microsoft and all the other big corps that didn’t pay a dime COMBINED...

AND THEN HARRY THE SEARCHLIGHT...SAID BASICALLY “IT WAS A LIE,,,BUT IT WORKED, RIGHT?”
It doesn’t matter what is in the tax returns. The left will spin them to their advantage.
They have not published the actual returns? They’re just telling us their interpreration?
They have not published the actual returns? They’re just telling us their interpretation?
No, and what the New York Times reported was they had tax DATA, not RETURNS. In other words, some raw numbers that would feed into the preparation of the tax returns...and subject to interpretation by the really astute financial brains on the editorial desk. NOT.
Unsigned “client copy”. BOOM! Guilty.
So do you think Trump will release the full return before the debate and accuse the Times, the DNC and Biden who had an ad ready to go of malpractice and felony corruption charges? I would love a pre-debate surprise.
They, like who you vote for, ain’t nobody bidness. Just sayin’. And, it wouldn’t shut them up for a nanosec.
You should have said: "Hell, Harry Reid stated publicly and got away with it that Mitt Romney paid NO taxes." Otherwise, it sounds as if Mitt Romney got away with paying no taxes. Yes?
