This week, a massive New York Times investigation into President Donald Trump’s taxes from 2000 to 2018 has revealed a few bombshells.
Some numbers stand out, like the fact that he paid no federal income taxes in 11 out of 18 years, and also paid just $750 in federal income taxes in both 2016 and 2017.
You can click around a handy infographic here, and read a breakdown of the various components here.
In amongst all of that, you’ll find $70 000 paid to style Trump’s hair for television, claimed as expenses, and it’s this point that really has Trevor Noah chuckling.
During his most recent show, one segment dealt with Trump’s tax avoidance, and the comedian couldn’t help but get a few jabs in.
The ending is rather lame, but don’t let that detract from the numbers that come before:
