"Trump paid $750 in taxes the year he was elected! That’s way less than the $130,000 in hush money he paid Stormy Daniels. In 2012,
Trump criticized Barack Obama for “only” paying $161,950 in taxes. That’s a lot more than $750 too! And it’s a lot more than the $0 in taxes Trump frequently paid.
Trump even paid far less than his really wealthy buddies. As Times reporter David Leonhardt
noted, “Over the past two decades, Mr. Trump has paid about $400 million less in combined federal income taxes than a very wealthy person who paid the average for that group each year.” It’s even more troubling when you compare Trump’s tax payments to an
American household earning about $75,000 in 2016. Those
folks paid about $14,000 in
federal income taxes — which is also a lot more than $750."
