Every president from Nixon on released their tax returns, but Trump -- who insisted he would follow that custom -- repeatedly refused to do that. So finally they were leaked, showing he paid only $750 in 2016 and nothing in 2017.
He's now demanding all of us, who *did* pay our full taxes, pay him.

Donald Trump’s frivolous $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS over his leaked tax returns, if he were to win or get a settlement, would be paid entirely by U.S. taxpayers. trib.al/eiYvT8m

When Congress returns in January, the House will vote on a 3yr extension of ACA tax credits, helping us prevent the worst of this crisis.
Leader Thune has refused to say he'll put the bill up for a vote in the Senate.
The longer he delays, the more Americans pay. Give us the vote.

Trump commuted the sentence of Philip Esformes, behind a $1.3B Medicare and Medicaid fraud. Florida Senator Rick Scott led a company that paid $1.7B for Medicare fraud. This is the party pretending to care about Medicare and Medicaid fraud.
