    The thing that strikes me about the $750 Trump paid in taxes is not just that he paid less than normal people, but that he picked such a random, low number to claim he owed. $750k would still smell of tax fraud, but $750 is tax fraud plus giving the us the finger.

        Politics are cool. Self-improvement is better. Turn off the TV people.

        Maybe he paid 750 USD entirely because that bought him the opportunity to give you the proverbial finger.

        The whole article clearly states that he paid more taxes in advance in the previous year. I understand that Trump's easy to hate, but if it were fraud, wouldn't he be in jail by now, given the level of scrutiny.

        Lol. This would very easily be resolved if he released his tax returns. Literally the only thing a sane person does.

        Considering how taxes work, his yearly average paid over the past 10 years or so would be a much more reasonable take

        I agree this would be an excellent number to calculate as soon as he releases his returns for the past ten years

        Plus he paid way MORE tax overseas, including in China.

        "Seven-hundred-and-fifty dollars is an absurd amount for the president to pay, a number so tiny it seems to have been inserted simply for fuckery. It’s an insult, a razz, a bawdy joke for which we all are the punchline."https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a34213353/the-2020-trump-tax/ …
