Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is trouble again following revelations his tax returns. The New York Times said Mr Trump's 1995 tax returns showed he reported $900 million business losses. This has enabled him to not pay nearly a billion dollars income tax the past 19 years. The Times suggests Trump is being hypocritical, as he has constantly criticized the tax system being unfair. The Times wrote: "Trump is right when he says the system is rigged. What he doesn't say is that it's rigged his favor and in the favor people like him, and against regular people - those of us who earn money, pay income tax it, and financially support the country which we live."

Mr Trump has spent years social media attacking high-profile people not paying enough tax. He attacked President Obama paying a "paltry" tax rate 20.5 per cent. Former New York mayor and Trump campaign advisor Rudy Giuliani said Mr Trump had done nothing illegal and called him a "genius" not paying tax and turning his loss-making business. He likened Trump to Winston Churchill, Britain's leader during World War II. Mr Trump tweeted: "I know our complex tax laws better than anyone who has ever run president and am the only one who can fix them." When Hillary Clinton accused Mr Trump not paying taxes, he replied: "That makes me smart."
