A decade in the red for Trump

The NYT obtained 10 years of previously unrevealed figures from Donald Trump’s federal income tax returns, for the years 1985 through 1994. The second half of that decade was known to be one of his roughest patches financially, but the new numbers — from printouts of I.R.S. transcripts — suggest his losses started earlier and went deeper than previously thought, Russ Buettner and Susanne Craig write.

• “In 1985, Mr. Trump reported losses of $46.1 million from his core businesses — largely casinos, hotels and retail space in apartment buildings. They continued to lose money every year, totaling $1.17 billion in losses for the decade.”

• “His core business losses in 1990 and 1991 — more than $250 million each year — were more than double those of the nearest taxpayers in the I.R.S. information for those years.”

• “Mr. Trump lost so much money that he was able to avoid paying income taxes for eight of the 10 years.”
