Did Trump Leak Tax Returns to Discredit Media in Epic Chess Move?

Honestly, Trump leaking a portion of his own tax returns wouldn't surprise, he has played the media plenty of times in the past. I've seen dozens of the media's stories on Trump backfiring on them over the past year, so either there's intelligent design behind it, or the craziest luck ever.

[MamaB]

If he did, it was a brilliant move.

As a next step, I would leak a FAKE tax return, to blow up the remainder of any leftist media freaks who want to handle this issue.

let them scream for a couple days on national TV, and then release the real one to prove them wrong.

At that point, their credibility will be below zero

Some people make their own fortune. Maybe with the help of God and with good timing and being tapped into their surroundings and current events, trends and predictions

The media and every other enemy of Trump will continue to step into these awkward losing situations. It won’t stop

[Roger Kaputnik]

Perhaps it isn’t luck. Perhaps it’s because Trump is an honest man and has nothing to fear. I can’t attest to either, but I can attest to the fact that an honest man/woman has nothing to fear.

Perhaps that is why Trump appears to be so fearless and the establishment is so enraged and threatened by him.

I can only imagine what we would find out about the establishment if the media went after career politicians and establishment types half as hard as they are digging into Trump.

Yet, the more they dig in the dirt, the more the roses bloom in Trump’s favor. Lord Almighty, how that must piss-off his enemies.

JMHO.

At what time did she say it was from 2005 return? It was stupid if she gave him advance warning. She must have or he would not have referred to 2005 in his response before the show.

[rockrr]

No. Next.

I’ve never figured out: HOW is 3-D chess played anyway? Did Roddenberry ever come up with rules for it?

[sickoflibs]

Along those lines, Paul Manifort could have made those two pages up on his computer then slipped them to Johnston's mail box to see what MSNBC boob, who previously accused Trump of paying NO taxes for 18 years as Maddow had done, would take the bait.

Maddow got the highest ratings of her 9 year show scamming viewers ranting for over 20 minutes before pointing out she had nothing on Trump.

3D chess with a 30A bra size amateur.

I bet when she got out of the chair after the a$$chewing she got today from her boss there was a pucker on the seat.

[right way right]

It does not matter, the fake news will say whatever they want to.

[adorno]

I’m pretty sure that there’s at least one good Photoshop artist in here that can draw Madcow with egg all over her face, with the splattered egg showing bits of Trump’s tax return and the $38 million and 25% tax rate showing through somewhere on her face.

[doug from upland]

What was exact time she said she had 2005 return? Had she not given the year, Trump would not have been able to pre-empt her with info about 2005. I have been searching but can’t find the time she said 2005.

If Trump leaked it, she really got suckered by giving the year ahead of time. It gave him the opportunity to make her look like a fool.

[ALASKA]

I hope so. Let game continue.

[Vic S]

To Kerry’s credit, he did attempt to put his yacht in a state with lower taxes, he just got caught.

[adorno]

Maddow got the highest ratings of her 9 year show scamming viewers ranting for over 20 minutes before pointing out she had nothing on Trump.

That gives me an idea, which I'm willing to give away for free, to some enterprising media person...

who should create a TV show, sort of like SNL, but different, where...

the news is all "fake" and with "breaking fake News" segments and "fake news discussion segments" and with discussions of what was purported to be real news in the regular media, but turned out to be as fake as the "news" on the CNN.

This could be done on a "throw-away hour", like 12 or 1 AM on FOX, and it it becomes a hit, it could then move on to a prime-time slot on a regular network, like the big FOX network.

[SkyDancer]

Yeah, it’s going to be Trump’s fault for taking down Madcow.

[spokeshave]

Ha...and "Mr Miller" as the Trump assistant
