For seven years the media have walked the American people through a journey to publicize President Donald J Trump’s tax returns, using phrases like “bigger than Watergate.” Promising, almost daily, the results of their quest would be “the beginning of the end” of Trump. Thousands of hours of media punditry shouting about the holy grail paper trail sure to culminate in a result “devastating beyond all imaginings.”
Meanwhile, millions of column inches were filled with “bombshell” promises of deep expose’s, certain to highlight how the universal villain of all things universally villainous would be crushed under the weight of financial nakedness.
This moment, they promised, would be second only in political consequence to origin of our constellation. The quest for Trump’s taxes was the culmination of thousands of hours of deep Lawfare expertise, an epic battle worthy of Homer.
A horrible human would explode in shame they said. Yes, Trump was about to be exposed by professionals, DC experts who build careers understanding the complex system of tax filings, financial schemes and arcane laws. WATCH:
VIDEO AT LINK..........
These were the Gandolfian wizards, heroes as proclaimed by the pretorian guard media, the gatekeepers who would finally gain access to the epicenter of the one true financial enlightenment that would forever destroy Godzilla Trump and crush the empire beneath him.
Breaths were held as “soon” they swore. Pearls were clutched as ticks were tocked. ‘Any moment now’, the masses began to shout. Busses and trains stopped. Swarms of people rushed home to watch television. Flights were being cancelled as the moment drew near. The economy came to a halt as thrills were pronounced to be running up legs.
The world’s most investigated human in all humanity was on the cusp of the abyss. The moment had finally arrived. The culmination of years of baited anticipation. This was THE moment; this was THEIR moment….
Boxes were spotted passing through the halls of congress. “That’s them,” people muttered clamoring for a glimpse. MSNBC finally, after years of anticipation, triggered the countdown clock – as a visibly climaxing Rachel Maddow could no longer contain the spontaneous ecstasy.
And then…
Nothing.
The world’s most anticipated and promoted financial disclosure in the history of the modern universe, was a complete nothingburger.
The only person who seems happy is Geraldo Rivera, who likely thinks that perhaps now his opening of Al Capone’s empty vault has finally been eclipsed in its ridiculous nothingness.
President Donald Trump’s taxes show an ordinary schedule of incomes and losses that fit within the four corners of every other tax filing by every other private company owner. Incomes that rose and fell with the U.S. economy. Worse yet, the filings show income losses that were amplified by Donald Trump’s decision to put aside his business interest and run for public office.
Yes, Donald Trump is the first President of the United States who lost money as an outcome of his political ascendency because he never sold his office to any individual, corporation, multinational or financial interest. President Donald J Trump worked for the American people, using policies that were designed to benefit the American people, from within an office that was created to benefit the American people.
For the media, the world’s largest sad trombone.
Dem dog and pony show. It’s all they have.
Something tells me that Biden’s tax returns will be a wee bit more “interesting.”
The walls are closing in
Sad trombone …and now I break out the tiny violins. 🎻🎻
Now, we need to get “the Big Guy’s” tax returns, to see if Mr. 10% has been paying taxes on kickbacks from Hunter Biden’s Chinese “business ventures”.
Or Pelosi’s returns.
Now, let’s see pedoJoe’s, Schmucky Schumer’s, the Botoxian’s....oh, and let’s take a look/see at the Turtle’s too. Guaranteed to be waaaaayyyy more interesting.
Gaaaaaaaakkkkkk!!!
I DID NOT need that mental image.
The Holy Grail Quest for President Trump’s Tax Returns Ends with the World’s Loudest Sad Trombone
****************
But, it sets a the standard for the future. What House member, Senate member, Vice-President, or even President can now hide their ill gotten gain. All are waiting to see if Pelosi etc. can account for their massive increase in wealth, while serving in Congress, or in the administration.
Of course it was a big nothing. Trump may have little impulse control, but he is smart and would not cheat on his taxes.

That's the problem!
'They' simply CANNOT have the American people GET USED to
having an upstanding non-criminal, patriotic, honest man in the Oval Office!
THEY MIGHT GET USED TO - OR, GOD FORBID, EVEN DEMAND IT!
(And what a tragedy THAT would be, eh?)

/SSSSS - Simply Sickening Silly Sarcastic Sarcasm
Well now that a precedent has been set...
Simple question: if the IRS which hs audited Trump frequently cannot find anything amiss, what can a Congressional committee turn up?
Innuendo, insinuation, mischaracterization and flat out lies. Take Russia, Russia, Russia and everything else those low life evil bastards threw out there as examples.
The hilarious part that most will miss is DJT made ‘em think he was hiding something and made ‘em work their ass off to get his returns only to not find a damn thing. LOL!
That’s what happens when blind hatred drives your life.
