The New York Times has published decades of tax information on US President Donald Trump.

“The tax returns that Mr. Trump has long fought to keep private tell a story fundamentally different from the one he has sold to the American public,” the newspaper wrote. “His reports to the I.R.S. portray a businessman who takes in hundreds of millions of dollars a year yet racks up chronic losses that he aggressively employs to avoid paying taxes.”

The report, which Mr. Trump has already called “fake news”, comes a month before the presidential election, and reveals that he paid just $750 in federal income tax both in 2016 (the year he ran for the US presidency) and in his first year in the White House. Also, he had paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years.

After the success of The Apprentice TV show, Mr. Trump did pay significant taxes at first — $95m over 18 years but he later got most of that back via a $72.9 million federal tax refund. The president has managed to lower his taxes by reporting huge losses on his businesses.

People were angry to hear the news. Eventually, Twitter users even started sharing the times they paid more income tax than the president, comparing their experiences to Mr. Trump’s. Here are just a few examples out of thousands.
