“Wait, wait, wait,” an incredulous Wallace pushed back. “You’re saying it’s a good story that he took a billion dollar loss and that he failed to pay any income taxes for years? That’s a good story?”
“Chris, first of all you don’t know that he didn’t pay any income taxes,” Christie shot back. “All the story said is that kind of loss can be used for up to 18 years. But if Mr. Trump made $600 million the next year, $600 million of that loss would be wiped out. So let’s be precise about what it said.”
When Christie attempted to say that Trump had paid “millions and millions and millions in taxes,” Wallace shot Christie down by using the Trump campaign’s own statement on the blockbuster New York Times article, with Wallace calling the statement a “non-denial denial.”
“In effect what he said in the first debate is that if he paid no taxes, that made him smart,” Wallace stated. “I assume that if he had paid taxes over all those years he would have told us so.”
“Well, that’s a big assumption on your part based upon the advice he has gotten,” the increasingly belligerent Christie responded. “This proves that the advice he’s gotten from his lawyers and accountants is the right advice.”
