Donald Trump's frivolous $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS would be paid entirely by U.S. taxpayers. [View all]

Every president from Nixon on released their tax returns, but Trump -- who insisted he would follow that custom -- repeatedly refused to do that. So finally they were leaked, showing he paid only $750 in 2016 and nothing in 2017.

He's now demanding all of us, who *did* pay our full taxes, pay him.
