"Look, it's the latest reminder how clear the choice is here between, in this race, between Park Avenue and Scranton," Bedingfield told CNN anchor Anderson Cooper. "You have in Donald Trump a president who spends his time thinking about how he can work his way out of paying taxes, of meeting the obligation that every other working person in this country meets every year. With Joe Biden you have somebody who has a completely different perspective on what it means to be a working family in this country."
The Biden campaign also posted a 30-second ad on Twitter listing the "typical income tax" of elementary school teachers, firefighters, construction managers, and registered nurse, and compared the figures to the meager federal income taxes Trump had reportedly paid in 2016 and 2017.
Earlier on Sunday, the Times published a bombshell report on Trump's tax returns dating from 2000 through 2017. Along with the paltry $750 in the year Trump was elected and the year after, the report also exposed that in 10 of the 15 previous 15 years, the President had paid zero income taxes, and that he had reported to the IRS that his losses far outweighed the gains in his businesses.
Following the report's release, Trump attacked the revelations as "totally fake news, made-up, fake" during a press briefing. He also complained that the IRS "does not treat me well."

$750???? I paid more than than in 2016! And I will pay more than that this year!
If he's not paying income tax he is definitely broke. He's not the multi millionaire he claims to be. And I think that lie pretty much outshines all his other lies
When Trump was asked during the 2016 campaign why he wouldnt release his taxes, he said that if he did he would lose the election. Now we know why.
Trump at one point or another admits to everything, then promptly denies it.
Trump: 'I'm the king of debt'
If you owe the bank ten thousand dollars, you are in trouble.
If you owe the bank ten million dollars, the bank is in trouble.
If you have billions in assets it’s no big deal. You can always liquidate some assets to cover the debt.
I don't think he actually has those assets and if he does they've been devalued and probably leveraged to the sky
But, you are still a "Swindler, Crooked Con-Man," "Accused Child Rapist," and an "Impeached President of the United States," who has millions of adoring fans like the real Teflon Don, former head of the NYC Mafia, who died in prison.
Trout Giggles: Trump's asset is PUTIN!
Except Trump doesn't have assets, everything he owns belongs to different banks. This is why no US banks will give him anymore credit.
Only as long as he remains POTUS. Once he has nothing to offer Putin, watch even Deutsche Bank start calling in his debts.
Dean, at some point in adulthood, one must choose COUNTRY over one's childhood Bandit IDOL!
Jesse James, Billy The Kid, Dellinger all turned out to be ruthless murderers, crooks, and Con Men. Will Trump be any different?
Standing in my shoes it is the Dems that I see as the bandits. They are the ones that what to take more from me. I don’t want to be a victim of their theft and redistribution. Maybe if I was living off of social security I might see it differently.
