The New York Times’ newly-released “October surprise” has made waves, but it is a fairly hypocritical report. Last night, the publication released some tax records that purportedly pertain to Donald Trump, showing that he might not have paid taxes for 18 years.

It’s difficult for the Times to be that bothered with Trump’s alleged practices, though. It seems that the paper hasn’t exactly been paying an abundance of taxes itself. Check out this report from Hot Air.
