President Donald Trump thinks it was "disgusting" and "illegal" that his 2005 federal tax returns were leaked to MSNBC Tuesday, calling the reporter who obtained them a "weird dude".
The two-page document stated he earned $153 million and paid $36.5 million in taxes for that year.
"I paid a lot of tax, paid $38 million in tax, that doesnt include sales taxes and real estate taxes and lots of other taxes dont forget. But I paid a lot of tax and I employed a lot of people and I made money made good money."
Trump said he had no idea how the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, David Cay Johnston, was able to get the documents.
"I know the reporter is a weird dude whos been following me for 25 years so obviously he hasnt done so well. Hes been following me in a negative fashion for 25 years, always a hit. And Im president, so he hasnt done a very good job," Trump stated.

TUCKER CARLSON INTERVIEW PRESIDENT TRUMP
TONIGHT ON FOX NEWS
@ 6:00PM PACIFIC, 8:00PM CENTRAL & 9:00PM EASTERN
Great Trump.
Winning every day!
while at the same time reports suggest the Obama's (two dis-barred attorneys) managed to accumulate several personal real estate properties as well as take on related expenses related to renovations/decor on these properties on his salary and book sales?
Rancho Mirage, CA residence . . .$4.25M/The Los Angeles-based interior designer Michael S. Smith is reportedly in charge of decorating the Obamas new home
Waimanalo, Hawaii residence ..... $8.7M
D.C. residence ..... (leasing $5M)
Dubai residence .....$4.9M (fwiw: Dubai offers limited extradition)
Chicago residence:.....$1,650,000
They are so worried if Trumps wealth is legitimate, maybe the MSM should increase their ratings and investigate Obama’s wealth. Where is Tony Rezko? Rachel is so worried about Trump selling his house to a Russian, why doesn’t she bring back the sweet deal the Obama’s got in Chicago. Can’t investigate MR. Perfect I suppose.
But was it enough to balance your checkbook, Donald? :)
REPEAL DON’T REPLACE
These people need to be arrested. Why aren’t they arrested for this?
If I paid 38 million dollars in taxes that all went to funding illegal aliens and abortions Id run for President too..oh and that “reporter” is one weird dude for sure..saw a clip of him on Mad Cow’s pathetic little program, that guy has some serious mental issues, which is not all his fault, he is after all a liberal
Maddie is a weird dude
My biggest regret in life is going to be that a president like this only comes by once every 150-200 years. LMAO.
Maddow is a weird dude
Rachel MadCow.
Obama made out like a bandit.
To be honest with you, I’m really surprised MSNBC and Rachel Maddow didn’t bury this when they got it. The narrative was that Trump is a tax cheat that pays nothing. This shows he paid a large amount. Nobody looks at $38M and says “that’s nothing!” except deranged Trump haters. That narrative is totally dead now, just gone. They can say “well we still need to see all years to be sure” but they look petty and vindictive, which they are. Either way, Trump wins. As I said, surprised they didn’t spike the story outright so they could keep their fake narrative.
Exactly. If we can arrest some poor slob for making a crappy internet video and ruin his life to cover up the fact we were smuggling arms to our enemies, why can’t we arrest someone for this?
