By CCN.com: Yesterday, the New York Times unveiled President Donald Trump’s long-sought-after tax figures, revealing that he had lost over $1 billion from 1985 to 1994. The self-proclaimed “self-made” real estate tycoon also paid a whopping zero dollars in taxes eight out of those ten years. With those findings, it’s no surprise that Trump was fighting to keep his taxes a secret.
Today, Twitter is having a field day with the findings. The hashtag #BillionDollarLoser is the top trending hashtag in the United States as seemingly everyone weighs in on the matter. Let’s take a look at some of the top tweets.
The “I Told You So”s
Many folks are taking the opportunity to give their followers a big, fat “I told you so!” Or, in some cases “She told you so,” referring to Hillary Clinton’s push for President Trump to release his tax returns .
Others outline what was once just a popular theory – that Trump’s family fortune was massive enough for him to squander it away and remain wealthy anyway. It looks like that theory proved correct.

A good chunk of Twitter is outraged by the report. In his facade of a fight for the common citizen, Trump has blasted the wealthy and corporations for not paying their fair share of taxes. Paying taxes in only two years out of a decade is a slap in the face to the people that believed him.
In the past, Trump has even gone so far as to brag about not paying taxes , so these findings shouldn’t come as a shock.

The ten years of losses give support to the argument that the president is likely in debt to Russia. Some believe that those debts could be the reason why he has taken such a pro-Russia stance.
