Actually that’s not the trap into which he’s fallen. Let me use hyperbole for a minute.

“Hey, officer, I didn’t kill ten people. I only killed two of them.”

Yeah, see the point? Even if he’s being straight, most of the US voters are going: You paid 13%, I paid over 20%.

It’s not that he didn’t pay taxes. It’s that he paid a lesser share than pretty much everyone else - despite (or perhaps because) being a multimillionaire.

AND whining that he and the other “job creators” are paying too much to boot! Running for office on a platform of reducing his “onerous burden” and putting more of it on those who are already paying for his years of reduced taxes. If this isn’t some serious con game, I don’t know what one is.
