5 takeaways from NY Times report on Trump's tax returns


WASHINGTON (AP): A New York Times report that President Donald Trump paid just US$750 (RM3,124) in federal income tax the year he entered the White House – and, thanks to colossal losses, no income tax at all in 11 of the 18 years that the Times reviewed – served to raise doubts about Trump's self-image as a shrewd and successful businessman.

That Sunday's report came just weeks before Trump's re-election bid served to intensify the spotlight on Trump the businessman – an identity that he has spent decades cultivating and that helped him capture the presidency four years ago in his first run for political office.
