The WLB Will Be Really Pissed at Rachel Maddow

[Aegon]

It's as clear as day that the Trump administration leaked these. The form doesn't tell you anything! We need to see the sources of income, among other things. This makes it look like Don was a good little boy and paid his fair share; case closed! But Maddow had to go and hype it up and make it seem like it was the smoking gun in some grand conspiracy. This makes the media look bad, if anything. This will be the last we see or hear about his returns. Way to go Rachel.

It's interesting though that 86% of the tax he paid that year is one of the ones he wants scrapped, the one brought in in an attempt to make sure that the rich pay at least the same rate as ordinary people.

Like I said to Min, it's not all that interesting. Trump is dirty rich. The GOP wants massive tax cuts for the rich. Everyone knew that already. But this is a cherry picked portion of the tax return that makes Trump look good to anybody who didn't already hate him. And the White House will hide behind this every time the returns get brought up again.

As I said: way to go, Rachel. Fell right into Trump's trap.
