CNN published this video item, entitled “Trump’s taxes show why he *really* ran for president” – below is their description.
Thanks to last week’s bombshell reporting from The New York Times, we know that President Trump paid $750 in taxes in 2016 — and no taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years. CNN’s Chris Cillizza sheds some light on why Trump’s financial straits influenced his decision to run for president.
