Twitters users are mocking Donald Trump’s tax return saga by recalling what life was like in the 1990s.
A New York Times report released Saturday that showed the GOP presidential nominee could have legally avoided paying any federal income taxes for up to 18 years has prompted their amusing trip down memory lane.
Via the #LastTimeTrumpPaidTaxes hashtag, they’ve recollected what would have been the relationship status of Ross and Rachel on “Friends” and the size of cell phones at the time ― and also resurfaced Trump’s own appearance on “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.”
Here are the best posts we’ve seen so far:

Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.
