TRUMP TAX TROUBLE

As NYT is Pay Walled/Blocked for me see this article, try

"Trump paid $750 in US income taxes in 2016, 2017: NY Times report" of 28 September 2020
http://www.9news.com.au/world/trump-paid-750-in-us-income-taxes-in-2016-2017-new-york-times-report/06380cb9-46cc-4867-b4f2-5b82ab74b0ee

"Trump paid no federal income taxes in 10 of the past 15 years, according to a report in The New York Times.

Mr Trump, who has fiercely guarded his tax filings and is the only president in modern times not to make them public, paid US$750 in taxes to the federal government the year he was elected, 2016, and $750 again his first year in office.

"...Trump found multiple ways to reduce his tax bills including tax deductions on...haircare [eg. his failed Toupée]

[TRUMP, SCREECHING LIKE A GERBIL ON CRACK, PLEADS "FAKE NEWS"]

Hi Pete,

The funny thing about 'Fake News' is that it can be challenged and, if found to be fake, penalties would be awarded to the person maligned. In this case, they could amount to hundreds of millions of dollars, IF they WERE fake.

We'll see :)

Only 37 days to go (our time).
