TRUMP TAXES: “Democrats released six years’ worth of former President Donald Trump’s tax returns last Friday, confirming earlier findings outlined in a pair of congressional analyses of the records: Trump took hundreds of millions of dollars of questionable business deductions to lower his tax bills, paid a token amount of income tax in two years and paid nothing at all during the final year of his presidency…

He appears to donate little to charity and may not have made good on his promise to give away his presidential earnings…

Trump was the first US president since Gerald Ford to refuse to voluntarily release his tax returns.”
