Trump wrote off the cost of haircuts, including more than $70,000 paid to style his hair during “The Apprentice.” Together, nine Trump entities have written off at least $95,464 paid to a favorite hair and makeup artist of Ivanka Trump. https://t.co/G38udwaw7w — PolitiTweet.org

Average federal income tax paid in 2016: Worker earning $25,000-$50,000 in adjusted gross income: $1,871 Trump: $750 https://t.co/x8JOek9KSK — PolitiTweet.org

Since 2000, Trump has reported losses of $315. 6 million at his golf courses and for all of its Trumpworld allure, his Washington hotel, opened in 2016, has not fared much better. Its tax records show losses through 2018 of $55.5 million. https://t.co/G38udwaw7w — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Baker @peterbakernyt

In 2017, the president’s $750 federal income tax payment was dwarfed by the $15,598 he or his companies paid in Panama, the $145,400 in India and the $156,824 in the Philippines. https://t.co/G38udwaw7w — PolitiTweet.org

If auditors ultimately disallow Trump’s $72.9 million federal refund, he will be forced to return it with interest and possibly penalties, possibly exceeding $100 million. He could also be ordered to return state and local refunds based on the same claims. https://t.co/G38udwaw7w — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Baker @peterbakernyt

Starting in 2010, Trump claimed, and received, an income tax refund totaling $72.9 million — all the federal income tax he had paid for 2005-08, plus interest. The legitimacy of that refund is at the center of a years-long audit battle with the IRS. https://t.co/G38udwaw7w — PolitiTweet.org

SCOOP: Trump paid just $750 in federal income taxes in 2016, the year he won. He paid just $750 in 2017, his first year in office. And he paid no income taxes in 10 of the previous 15 years. ⁦@russbuettner⁩ ⁦@susannecraig⁩ ⁦@mmcintire⁩ https://t.co/mAGCfrfttm — PolitiTweet.org

In portraying Biden as a doddering old man for months, Trump may have set a trap for himself for this week's debate, lowering expectations so much that it will not be hard for Biden to overcome them. ⁦@anniekarni⁩ ⁦@maggieNYT⁩ https://t.co/bCVbPK0XHr — PolitiTweet.org
