Donald Trump faced Hillary Clinton on Monday night in their first one-on-one debate on Monday night at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York. The GOP nominee gave a colorful debate performance, but as tends to be the case, his facts were a little off (or a lot). Below are a few of Donald’s biggest howlers:
Tax Returns
Trump twice said his financial disclosures suffice in place of his federal income tax returns, which he has so far refused to release because he’s currently under IRS audit. Trump is the first major party candidate not to release his tax returns since Gerald Ford in 1976.
Though his 97-page financial disclosure form extensively details his personal assets, as PolitiFact noted earlier this month, “The two most obvious pieces of the puzzle missing without Trump’s tax returns are the effective rate of tax he pays on his income, and the extent and nature of his charitable giving.” That’s pretty close to the point Hillary Clinton made: We don’t know how rich he really is, we don’t know how much he pays in taxes (if anything) and we don’t know how much he gives away as charitable contributions (if anything).
