They're going to cry wolf about nothing and the whole tax return issue is going to disappear. Just awful. The tax return issue that no ones talked about in months? That was last posted about in this thread on February 20. That tax return issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDoyler23 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Welp, maybe 2005 was an interesting year for TheDonald? We are 10 minutes in and this is conspiracy theory rambling so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visionary Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Quote Donald Trump earned more than $150 million in the year 2005—and paid just a small percentage of that in regular federal income taxes. Daily Beast contributor David Cay Johnston has obtained what appear to be the first two pages of Trump’s 2005 federal income tax return, and published an analysis of those pages on his website, DCReport.org. The Daily Beast could not independently verify these documents. The documents show Trump and his wife Melania paying $5.3 million in regular federal income tax—a rate of less than 4% However, the Trumps paid an additional $31 million in the so-called “alternative minimum tax,” or AMT. Trump has previously called for the elimination of this tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems odd that the leak is just two pages. It's not very helpful to verify his income sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not totally useless. What I am reading is that Trump wants to get rid of the alternative minimum tax, which would mean he would pay less in taxes. That is newsworthy.

Jumbo Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 maddow's too hyperbolic and on the edge for me...i was expecting them to milk what they had, and the longer that went on the less i figured they had, but i gave them some points for using it fairly well to reseed "shifty trump connections" stories they've run for awhile and they did...but outside of the amt deal and the idea of trump/bannon being the leak it's a major over-hyped nothingburger for msnbc and a win fro trump whether planned or not...

Cooked Crack Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 This should have just been one segment without a clickbaity tweet. Good thing I was commuting while this was airing. Don't know how Maddow didn't see how this would play out. The tax issue is back but all we know is Trump paid taxes a decade ago. Should have just reported and not try to hype it up. Should have just said why is Trump afraid to show more of his returns. If 2005 mirrors more recent years why would Trump not want people to know he paid taxes and made a lot of money?

nonniey Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I'm reading several boards and although Maddow probably drove up her ratings for tonight she may have hurt herself long term. Her most ardent fans seem to be furious with her. Their consensus take is that this debacle did nothing but help Trump which of course a huge no no for that crowd.
