If you include the top 10% — everyone who made at least $169,800 — that figure rises to $1.7 trillion, or 76% of the total.

Tell that to Warren Buffet's secretary. I'm not talking about the people making a few hunded grand a year, I'm talking about the ultra wealthy. Trump did pay very little in taxes, and bragged about it. I'm not making this up, that is wrong.
