Trump, WH blend denials, justifications in reaction to New York Times story on taxes

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

While President Donald Trump's initial reaction to the New York Times' bombshell report that he paid little to no federal income taxes over nearly two decades was to dismiss it outright as "totally fake news," his defense has since evolved into defense of tax-avoidance practices.

In a series of tweets Monday morning, the president attacked the Times for "bringing up my Taxes & all sorts of other nonsense with illegally obtained information" and argued he was "entitled" to what he claimed.

"I paid many millions of dollars in taxes but was entitled, like everyone else, to depreciation & tax credits," Trump tweeted, defending how much he has paid in taxes without directly challenging the specific numbers raised by the Times.

But he did not answer reporters' shouted questions at a Rose Garden event Monday afternoon.

The problem is many of us who make less pay more in taxes than Trump. His excuses don't hold with most people.

1. You paid many millions of dollars in taxes? Pardon me, but the NYT article did say $750 each in the

two years shown. Where do you get millions vs. $750 ?

You crook.
