Trump did pay millions in taxes those years: $1 million in 2016; $4.2 million in 2017.
So. I finally read the NYT Trump tax story because I wanted to see what line was being reported for taxes owed and I came across this about the $750 in 2016 and 2017.
Per the NYT own story, Trump actually paid to the US Treasury $1 million in 2016 and $4.2 million in 2017.
Trump PAID, as in transferred to the US Treasury, $1 million in 2016 and $4.2 million in 2017.
The claim that Trump paid only $750 in Federal taxes in 2016 and 2017 is thus a complete and total lie which is easily disproven by the Times own story.
To repeat: Trump "Made the required payment to the I.R.S. for income taxes he might owe," The Times wrote, followed by the figures $1 million for one year, $4.2 million for the second.
In other words, Trump did in fact pay considerably more than $750 in taxes in 2016 and 2017 - he just didn't actually owe what he paid.
