Exactly right! If he obeyed the law, then what in the heck is the problem? I would not pay any tax at all if I could figure out how not too.
He needs to be congratulated. Better yet, let's make him president.
The real question is which Clinton operative in the IRS illegally accessed Trump’s tax return from 1995.
Meanwhile, Hillary sold her office of Secretary of State to the highest bidders for her personal gain.
IF this tweet is true, DJT sent it over himself. LOL

WHAT exactly is the times hoped for take away here? That Trump is so stupid he and his cpa missed a BIG write off?
....and since the Clinton’s claimed they spent 15%
of the foundation’s money on charities BUT as recently as we found out it was only around 6%, I’m sure the NYT’s will look into those figures
Hey, Trump took advantage of the tax laws. So what? We all do the same. Now, let’s pause a moment to look at Hillary’s 30,000 missing emails and private email server.
Times contacted a lawyer and accountant for Trump. No name. Sounds like BS. Probably like Obama got sealed divorce records from his Chicago rival for Senate.
Trump campaign statement:
The only news here is that the more than 20-year-old alleged tax document was illegally obtained, a further demonstration that the New York Times, like establishment media in general, is an extension of the Clinton Campaign, the Democratic Party and their global special interests. What is happening now with the FBI and DOJ on Hillary Clintons emails and illegal server, including her many lies and her lies to Congress are worse than what took place in the administration of Richard Nixon - and far more illegal.
Mr. Trump is a highly-skilled businessman who has a fiduciary responsibility to his business, his family and his employees to pay no more tax than legally required. That being said, Mr. Trump has paid hundreds of millions of dollars in property taxes, sales and excise taxes, real estate taxes, city taxes, state taxes, employee taxes and federal taxes, along with very substantial charitable contributions. Mr. Trump knows the tax code far better than anyone who has ever run for President and he is the only one that knows how to fix it.
The incredible skills Mr. Trump has shown in building his business are the skills we need to rebuild this country. Hillary Clinton is a corrupt public official who violated federal law, Donald Trump is an extraordinarily successful private businessman who followed the law and created tens of thousands of jobs for Americans.
Creating jobs for 34,000+ (not to mention derivative economies for countless thousands more) people and incurring tax-deductible expenses while building large-scale businesses tend to lower the tax bill.
So my question to those who back the infernal witch who has never carried a private payroll in her life is: What fault are you finding here?
Also keep in mind that business taxes are not personal taxes. The majority of businesses show losses or almost no profit at the end of the year.
Taxes still get paid, however, through the personal returns of the individuals working/investing there.
Companies that routinely show profits tend to be larger C-corp structures that hold money for capital development and investment.
Trump obeyed the law for 20 years. This is going to really sink him now. He’s finished.
We all can do this too!
First though, you have to LOSE almost a BILLION dollars.
“The New York Times says could’ve legally allowed the billionaire to avoid paying taxes for almost two decades.”
Someone that smart ought to be president.
As I stated a month ago, the Clinton campaign already had illegally obtained Trump’s tax returns.... Everyone knows Obama’s IRS is corrupt. No surprise here.
Now, Trump’s campaign has proof of their federal law violation.
Trump gave them just enough rope to hang themselves.
Politics is a game of chess. Trump -Checkmate!
Why?
They're both "Slick". Co-conspirators in the same crime spree. Guilty as Hell and free as a bird.
The very title “.....may have legally......” was concocted to capitalize on the tendency for many readers to associate what their eyes see with “illegal.”
To say something is ‘legal’ doesn’t warrant an explanation of such. Subliminal, IMO.
Hmmm I wonder how much Obama or Hillary paid in taxes. I think they ‘re casting stones in glass houses.
The question he needs to ask Hillary: Do you hire someone to do your taxes? Why?
If it’s not illegal, then good for him.
