The last time information from Donald Trumps income-tax returns was made public, the bottom line was striking: He had paid the federal government $0 in income taxes.
The disclosure, in a 1981 report by New Jersey gambling regulators, revealed that the wealthy Manhattan investor had for at least two years in the late 1970s taken advantage of a tax-code provision popular with developers that allowed him to report negative income.
Today, as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Trump regularly denounces corporate executives for using loopholes and false deductions to get away with murder when it comes to avoiding taxes.
They make a fortune. They pay no tax, Trump said last year on CBS. Its ridiculous, okay?

Wow! Trump just projects! Everything he says is a projection and therefore we should see whatever he says of others as a confession.

Trump is not now and never has been a legislator, if there were loopholes he took advantage of to pay zero taxes then those loopholes were inserted in the law by legislators.
