Playing the "donated salary" card again? I really thought the spin cycle would've come up with a better excuse by now.

Whatever, I'm sure his followers will buy it.

The better excuse is that he actually paid 5.2 million in income taxes to the IRS in 2016/2017, which is stated in the original NYT article. He only owed $1500 but he let the IRS keep the extra for carry over losses. Carry over losses from 2008/2009 using a recession tax code that a Democratic House and Senate voted into law under Obama. Fun fact: you don't pay income taxes when you have no income.
