@flexghost despite earning $400,000 per year as president of the United States, in both 2017 and 2020, the former president reported no taxable income on his personal, joint return with wife Melania Trump. Further, in 2016, the former president reported just $978 in wages for the year, though his income mostly came (in all 6 years examined) from capital gains, taxable interest and ordinary dividends.
