“Nothingburger” was one of a number of terms used to describe MSNBC host Rachel Maddow’s report on Donald Trump‘s 2005 tax return on Tuesday night.
In a segment she hyped up on Twitter, Maddow revealed the contents of two pages from Trump’s tax return for that year.
The return showed that Trump paid 24 per cent in tax on income of $150 million for the 2005 tax year.
That’s about the same amount that a married couple with two incomes totalling around $400,000 might have paid, said David Cay Johnston, the investigative journalist who obtained the return to start with.
Reactions varied on social media — but many expressed disappointment with a segment that was called “not a super compelling reveal.”
Many Twitter users weren’t impressed with Maddow’s report

She is the left wing’s version of what’s his name that kept sending out alerts that he had dirt on Hillary.

No it’s not the same amount, it’s the same percentage, maybe. Maybe not.

Hey, Rachel... You’re awake, by the way. You’re not having a terrible terrible dream. Also, you’re not dead, you’re not in heaven, and your not in hell, this is your life now... it’s real!

The left’s incessant demands that Trump publicly release his tax returns smacks of jews being forced to drop their pants in the street to see if they're circumcised in 1930’s Berlin.

Actually, it’s not nothing .. IT’S A FELONY TO STEAL, AND/OR EXPOSE ANOTHER PERSON’S TAX RETURN.
So, the person who STOLE the 2 pages - from whoever or where ever, HAS COMMITTED A FELONY.
And, the person(s) who displayed possession of the tax return, and exposed the information on the tax return .. committed a FELONY.
So, NBC/MSNBC .. when are the officers going to arrive and arrest your news people who have been displaying A STOLEN tax return of the President of the United States ..??????
SHAME ON YOU ALL. TIME FOR JAIL.

I’ve seen comments elsewhere comparing President Trump to the Road Runner, with the left playing the part of Wile E. Coyote.

...and at least in 2005 he was really wealthy. Those were the two canards. He’s not as rich as everyone thinks, and he pays no taxes.
To: jdsteel
Perhaps she will become so depressed from all the negative tweets and commit suicide. One can only hope.

Nooo! Not “agony of defeat” guy! Slightly OT, how’d you like to be the poor slob who has his worst day ever immortalized for multiple generations in a TV show title sequence?
