The explosive comment came during a debate segment about each candidate's tax plans and a recent report that Trump had only paid $750 in taxes during 2016 and 2017.
During the first presidential debate in 2020, Democratic candidate Joe Biden called Republican President Donald Trump"the president of screwing things up" and added,"You're the worst president that America has ever had."
Biden's comments came in a segment in which both men discussed taxes and their respective tax plans. Fox moderator Chris Wallace asked Trump about a recentinvestigative report alleging that Trump only paid $750 in taxes during both 2016 and 2017 while also writing off extravagant personal expenses as deductions.
The report also claimed that for 10 of the previous 15 years, Trump paid no income taxes at all,"largely because he reported losing much more money than he made." Before the debate, Trump called the story"totally fake." During the debate, Trump claimed he had paid millions of dollars worth of taxes, to which Biden repeatedly commented,"Then show us your tax returns."
Although Trump said he would"as soon as they are done," he then didn't specify when that would be when asked by Biden.
