just to add a bit to this conversation, here are some tweets Trump made about other people paying little to no taxes: http://time.com/4516001/donald-trump-taxes-twitter/
If I can, I'll try to hunt down some recent hypocritical statements that Chris Christie and Rudy Guiliani said about these tax reports too. But basically, this whole mess is quite glaring for its hypocrisy.
Edit: peeled this off of Reddit: Giuliani in 2012 after Romney's 47% comment said:
>Mr. Giuliani said Mr. Romney should be proud of the remarks.
>**“If I were Governor Romney, I would say that I am glad I had the courage to raise an issue nobody else would raise — that too high a percentage of Americans are not paying taxes and that it’s dangerous when we start to get to half of the country not paying taxes,”** he said “And what I want to do is put those people to work so they can pay taxes and I think Gov. Romney should not be embarrassed about his remark.”

Chris Christie, [who also called Trump a genius for not paying taxes](http://pix11.com/2016/10/02/christie-says-trump-a-genius-if-avoiding-taxes/), said about Romney's 47% comment:
>**Mr. Christie said he thinks the GOP nominee simply believes that all Americans “should have skin in the game,”** and that the current administration has allowed government to become too large and expensive.
>**“Everybody should be part of the fair shared sacrifice,”** Mr. Christie said. “And [Mr. Romney] wants everybody to be able to have the opportunity to be able to lift themselves up and their families up.”
