(ANSA) - NEW YORK, SEPTEMBER 28 - In 2012 in a tweet Donald Trump criticized the then President Barack Obama for having paid in 2011 only 162,000 and 74 dollars in federal taxes on a gross profit of almost 790,000 dollars, equal to a tax rate tax of about 20%. "Barack Obama, who wants to raise all our taxes, pays only 20.5% on a salary of 790 thousand. Be a comedian and not as I do", he wrote, as some US media recall today after the New York Times scoop on his declarations by income from the last 15 years.
At the time, the Los Angeles Times explained that Obama's tax rate was slightly lower than average because he made a donation of over $ 172,000 that year.
