This is rich. Rachel Maddow, the thick-necked mouthpiece of the left-wing authoritarian media, tweeted out that she gotten President Trump’s tax returns. But the claim is not what it appears to be, and funnier still, Trump paid a higher tax rate than his detractors and accusers.
MSNBC host Rachel Maddow was widely mocked on social media Tuesday night after drawing out the revelations in what she announced was an “exclusive story” regarding Donald Trump’s tax returns.
Instead of getting right to her big scoop about a 2005 Trump tax return she obtained, Maddow opened her show with a rambling 20-minute rant outlining her often tangential theories regarding Trump’s connections to Russia. (Breitbart)

BREAKING: We've got Trump tax returns. Tonight, 9pm ET. MSNBC.
(Seriously).
— Rachel Maddow MSNBC (@maddow) March 14, 2017
MRC: What Maddow and the fine folks over at MSNBC actually managed to do was get part of a copy of Trump’s 2005 tax return. Which was already 12 years old. And which the White House had already released.
And which the Wall Street Journal had already reported on – a year ago.
Needless to say, the Twittersphere wasn’t all too happy as Maddow droned on…and on…and on during her open monologue, bashing Trump (and throwing out all manner of random, unsubstantiated speculations regarding his finances) without actually giving anyone any new information. Here are a few of the best reactions we found from the less-than-enthused:
Here is what the docs show:
President Donald Trump earned $153 million and paid $36.5 million in income taxes in 2005, paying a roughly 25 percent effective tax rate thanks to a tax he has since sought to eliminate, according to highly sought-after newly-disclosed tax documents.
The pages from Trump’s federal tax return show the then-real estate mogul also reported a business loss of $103 million that year, although the documents don’t provide detail. The forms show that Trump paid an effective tax rate of 24.5 percent, a figure well above the roughly 10 percent the average American taxpayer forks over each year, but below the 27.4 percent that taxpayers earning 1 million dollars a year average were paying at the time, according to data from the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation.
TRUMP PAID HIGHER TAX RATE [25%] THAN MSNBC COMCAST [24%]… MUCH HIGHER THAN OBAMA [19%]… AND BERNIE [13%]!
MADDOW MOCKED…
CNBC TURNS ON SISTER…
Hillary claimed Trump ‘paid nothing in federal taxes’…

You have to love the irony!
Not loving the illegality. Somebody needs some jail time.
Rachel must be painfully butt-hurt by the fact that the candidate that she opposed is truly much better than the candidate that she supported. If she had ANY integrity she would come out in favor of the one President that is truly for the American people and our country. You are playing to the wrong crowd Rachel.
Birds of a feather….
Where’s the beef, Butch? WHERE’S THE BEEF?! Madcow epic fail.
Watching The President troll the media is the best entertain available since Janet Reno stopped giving nude table dances.
“Janet Reno giving nude table dances”…..I think I just threw up in my mouth..a little.
I’m sorry, I have a twisted sense of humor.
I think I just went blind…
Sorry for the mental image. I was sober.
“I ain’t laffed so hard since the hawgs ate muh brudder!”
Mock leftist, mock chicken, fake everything with that old hag.
She makes some big money. She should release her return. Just noticed two moles on her thick neck that have potential for melanoma.
Good eye!
You can only see them when it puts on its “little boy kissy face”.
Apt description.
In my select circle we refer to it as “Monkeyvulva”.
Dumb, ugly. obnoxious dyke
Trump paid his taxes. He paid more than all the mentally disordered leftists who are calling for higher taxes. Wonderful. But, of course ZERO mention on how she obtained his taxes. ‘Why don’t you reveal that, Rachael?’
Allegedly, it showed up in someone’s email. As it is a federal crime to obtain or disperse someone’s tax papers, where is the FBI? Is the FBI too busy blowing Comey to look into this crime?
I am sorry, but the little boy wannabe will for ever be a laughing stock and a master of making up anti-American “news” for the mindless lick-spittle democrats.
Why doesn’t Rachel release her tax returns to the public? Why won’t she lead an LGBT parade through the streets of some lovely, tolerant, moderate islamic state somewhere?
When is this mad dyke goin to be thrown off the air?? She is obviously mentally disturbed
Maddow looked like a total jackass as usual! I tweeted her and told her so. I also told her that her obsession with the President is getting out of hand and she might want to seek some mental help soon. Don’t you just love poetic justice?
Agreed. The term being applied to NBC over such practices is “corporate jihad”.
That’s a great name for it!
The funniest part is how BSDNC claimed the Trump camp itself had leaked the tax returns, like a child bawling, “Look what you made me do”. It shows how far journalism in this country has degenerated that they will take something admirable and try to turn it into something slanderous, emulating a contortionist.
Time to invest in insane asylum’s stock.
“Wretched Maddog,” be a good boy and STFU!
Ever notice how Maddow rhymes with “mad cow”?
Speaking of Rachel Maddow’s “thick neck”; How come she has an “Adams apple”? Is she a he?
I couldn’t get past “her” five o’clock shadow.
