President Donald Trump on Sunday dismissed as totally fake news a New York Times report about how little he has paid in federal taxes.
Its fake news, Trump told reporters at a news conference in the White House briefing room. Its totally fake news. Made up. Fake.
The Times obtained more than two decades of Trumps tax information and reported earlier on Sunday that the president paid only $750 in federal income taxes in both 2016 and 2017, the year he won the presidency and his first year in the White House.
He had paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years largely because he reported losing much more money than he made, the report said, noting that more articles on his taxes would be published in the coming weeks.

Well Donny there's a very easy way you can prove it. Release your taxes.
