"Lady, the god you pray to is too busy being indicted for tax fraud."
The New York Times published a bombshell report that President Trump only paid $750 in federal income taxes in both 2016 and 2017, and that Trump has hundreds of millions of dollars in loans that are set to come due within the next four years.
