Donald Trump: 'I have legally used the tax laws to my benefit'

Donald Trump defended his tax practices Monday in the wake of a New York Times report on tax returns from 1995 citing a $916 million loss, which experts say he could have potentially used to wipe out his income tax liability for as much as the next 18 years.
“As a businessman and real estate developer, I have legally used the tax laws to my benefit,” Trump said during a Pueblo, Colorado rally.
“I was able to use the tax laws of this country and my business acumen to dig out of the real estate mess…when few others were able to do.”
