In a rather shoddy bit of reporting the NYTimes put out a story claiming the President didn’t pay any federal income taxes for the decade prior to his taking office due to losses in his businesses. Of course, the story presupposes that the reporters have seen the tax returns I doubt they have seen anything. The President called the story Fake News and the Trump Organization says it is not true. This reminds me of the lie Harry Reid put out during the 2012 campaign. Reid announced that Mitt Romney paid no taxes for ten years. The media immediately ran with the story even though it was a total lie. When Reid was later confronted with his lie after the election, his response was “we won didn’t we”.
The reality is that the Main Street media has no way to know the President’s tax returns for the ten years in question. This is pure BS.
