This fit with what Michael Cohen wrote in his book. He described Trump being incredulous that not only did the IRS accept his fake deductions, they send him a refund check for millions of dollars:
Exclusive: The Times has obtained tax-return data for President Trump extending over more than two decades.

It shows his finances under stress, beset by losses that he aggressively employs to avoid paying taxes and hundreds of millions in debt coming due. https://t.co/gstfYLEe5V
Trump calls New York Times report that he avoid paying taxes ‘totally made up’. Eric has been subpoenaed over fraudulent Trump Co tax evasion. He will clear this up. https://t.co/OSsaoJj7WW

In 1931 Al Capone went to prison, sentenced to 11 yrs, for failure to pay $215,000 in taxes (= to $3,634,829 today).

“Over the past two decades, Mr. #Trump has paid about $400 million less in combined federal income taxes,” than his fellow billionaires.
Puts Capone to shame. https://t.co/6YVdjnHNMj pic.twitter.com/SaWn7b88aD

NEW VIDEO: #TrumpIsNotABillionaire

Based on the extraordinary reporting of @nytimes times today, I present my NEW VIDEO#TrumpIsNotABillionaire
Let’s make sure we get this EVERYWHERE. pic.twitter.com/U5uhX3gOoE
I've read half the NYT tax blockbuster. The reporting is heroic. But the write-up is typical NYT softening of Trump's sins. 2 reasons he pays no taxes: business losses, and chicanery. They foreground the 1st and play down the 2nd, so he comes off like an oaf instead of a crook. https://t.co/QZ7cBgjSkR

It’s un-American to pay little or no tax if your wealth exceeds $1 million dollars.
Meeee! I paid more than $750 every year I paid federal income taxes, and I never made more than $12.50/hr.
