NB! The case is continually updated!
United States President Donald Trump paid just $ 750 in taxes in 2016, the year he was elected president. The following year, the first year he was president, he also paid just $ 750 in taxes.
US $ 750 is equivalent to about 7,100 crowns, converted at the current exchange rate.
The New York Times reports, which on Sunday night published information on Trump’s tax returns for the past 20 years, tax returns that he himself, both as a presidential candidate and later as president, has refused to disclose to the public. .
Zero taxpayer for ten years
Documents obtained by the New York Times also show that Trump has paid no income tax for ten of the last 15 years.
This is due to large economic losses.
Avisa writes that Trump also has large debts on him, which he has guaranteed himself, as if he would soon have to pay.
Additionally, Trump is fighting the US tax authorities for more than $ 72.9 million that Trump has withheld in taxes. The IRS believes he had no right to withhold taxes, and if Trump loses that battle, he will suddenly owe more than $ 100 million, according to the New York Times.
I met the press
Trump was scheduled to meet with the press at 11 p.m. Sunday night. Time passed, but Trump never came.
After it was postponed until 11:15 a.m., the New York Times published its revelation.
It was another 15 minutes before Trump came out and met with the press. He was apparently unaffected at all.
Trump himself did not mention the revelation, instead reaching out to Democrats and the media for other things, including criticizing his nomination for the US Supreme Court.
On Saturday, Trump announced that he was nominating Amy Coney Barrett for the vacant position of the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
– Fake news!
Then, just before midnight, he confronted the New York Times information.
– Does that sound good? Asked a journalist.
– “Fake news”. Absolutely “fake news,” he replied, adding:
– We went through this question three years ago, asked by the same people. It is definitely “fake news”. My tax returns are being reviewed by the IRS (US Tax Authorities, Journal.anm.) And have been under review for a long, long time. They treat me badly. Very very bad. When they are not in review, I would have been proud to show them.
Then he approached the New York Times.
– They do their best … the articles they write are so fake. They only do negative items. “I used to have positive articles in the New York Times, but I don’t think I have had a positive article in the New York Times in four years,” Trump said.
Broke with tradition
In recent decades, presidential candidates from both political parties in the United States have voluntarily issued their tax returns during the election campaign.
Trump has always refused to do this.
The information in the New York Times article is information that would have appeared on the tax return.
