The Mexican owned blog called the New York Times is eating yet more crow. Remember the published a definitive article that said Trump had not paid taxes in two decades.
Was there a definitive claim that he had not paid taxes, or was there just the statement that he may have legally avoided taxes for up to 20 years due to business losses? The article you posted referenced an October 1, 2016 article that said he could have avoided taxes. It definitely was not a definitive claim.
I only remember the later, but if I'm wrong, I would be interested in any additional source that supports what you wrote..

That's how I remember it - they were speculating it was possible.
Trump said it made him smart not to pay taxes - he certainly didn't dispute it.

How about your own words? You certainly didn't question it at the time.
You were making the claim that the NYT stated categorically that Trump had not paid taxes in 20 years. That was the issue I was responding to.
Ahh, you choose a worth smiting argument. It's clear enough the NYT expected people to believe that Trump had not paid taxes in 20 years. This is what was argued, and now they have been proved definitively wrong.
I'm skeptical. The most obvious question: If that's so, why didn't Trump speak up?
Your source seems so biased that I'll wait for confirmation elsewhere. By the way, the NYT is generally very good and very careful, and when they err, they'll usually say so.

Maybe back 20 years or so ago.
Not even CLOSE today!
They have become nothing more than another Huff Post of Media Matters.

The NY Times is eating crow.
No, it's not a question of wordsmithing. They never categorically stated that Trump had not paid taxes in 20 years. They stated that, he possibly could have theorhetically avoided taxes for up to 18 years, based upon his stated losses, and of course dependent on his future earnings.
And we still have no clue on Trump's taxes overall because we only have the first 2 pages of his returns for 2 widely separated years. We don't have the details of his foreign partnerships and foreign loans. If there is a smoking gun, that's where it will be located.
