I also wanted to point out how the top line fact they're putting out of their story is actually refuted by their own story, that is the claim that Trump only paid $750 in 2016 and then again in 2017.
As it turns out, if you read the New York Times' own story, as they point out, Trump paid far more than $750 in each year, so this claim which is being spread everywhere is false, according to their own story.
So this was what was being spread."Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency. In his first year in the WH, he paid another $750. He had paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years - largely because he reported losing much more money than he made" https://t.
To cancel out the tax bills, Mr. Trump made use of $9.7 million in business investment credits, at least some of which related to his renovation of the Old Post Office hotel, which qualified for a historic-preservation tax break.
It is not simply a lie, it proves that the person making the statement either did not read the story itself or lack the mental ability to comprehend that the NYT itself claims that Trump paid $1,000,000 in 2016 and $4,200,00 in 2017.
Did you see it? The years of employee compensation? So the NYT was given compensation information for people who are not Donald Trump.
You want to claim Trump is fair game since he's President, fine, whatever.
