Democrats finally got a hold of Trump’s taxes and released them. It’s their latest attempt at a gotcha, but there’s nothing newsworthy about them at all.
There was a big build-up to the news and then it vanished from the media almost immediately.
It’s just another example of their unhealthy and pathological hatred of Trump.
Red State reports:
Report on Trump Tax Returns Has Been Released, Here’s the Big ‘Bombshell’ the Press Is Obsessing Over
There has perhaps never been a dumber national obsession than the one that has existed over Donald Trump’s tax returns. Despite the IRS having had all of them over the decades, the press and its Democrat allies have long convinced themselves that Trump was illegally colluding with foreign nations and cheating on his taxes.
They continued to hold that belief despite multiple audits of the former president over the years. Apparently, we were all supposed to believe that the IRS (the same IRS that targeted conservatives under Barack Obama) was actually a right-wing front group protecting Trump at all costs.
In other words, the accusations about Trump’s taxes were always nonsensical and ridiculous. Sure enough, House Democrats have released their report on the matter (and have voted to release the actual returns).
This is a bombshell?

Bonchie is the editor of Red State and he published a few excellent tweets on this subject:
We’ve already seen Trump’s tax returns. They were leaked to the Times and there was nothing noteworthy in them.
The problem here is the precedent. Congress can just seize tax returns and release them publicly now? That’s going to be a thing?

The big bombshell from Trump’s taxes is going to be that he paid no income tax while making no income.
Get ready for the dumbest news cycle of the year.

So Trump's taxes have been released as well as the House's report on them. The major, breaking news bombshell is that Trump took losses in 2020 and didn't have to pay income tax.
I was promised Russian collusion and reams of fraud. Where is it?

Democrats and the media don’t seem to realize how foolish this makes them look.
I heard every RAT politician and RAT “media” toad is getting a copy of Trump’s Tax return in their Festivus Walmart plastic bag that they’ve hung by the chimney with care. It’s a RAT replacement for a chunk of coal which has been outlawed by the environMENTAL activists.
The Country has a nasty Rat infestation
The Democrats and the RINO’s and the whole freaking Left is a great big NOTHING BURGER!!!
Strange how someone in government releasing someone’s tax returns is a crime unless Democrats do it, huh?
So now show us Biden’s and Pelosi’s tax returns.
Of course it is or the IRS would have leaked it before the 2016 election.
If it was a BOMBSHELL they wouldn’t have released it a few days before Christmas
LOL - good imitation of “them.” 😆
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Sad horn music. Wah..wah..wah
Now do pecker puss Pelosi.
ps
The Dems lied to SCOTUS about their purpose. That’s going to hurt them in the future.
It’s not Justice, it’s Just us, and we aren’t part of “us”. We are just dogs allowed whatever crumbs fall from their table.
What? Nothing newsworthy?
Trump must be hiding something!!!
Keep looking!
What? That would be an invasion of their privacy and a violation of privilege, destructive to democracy. They sacrifice so much to become humble public servants and deserve better treatment.
Trump’s tax returns are incredibly complex, dontcha know? We just need more IRS auditors to review them. It could take years, but something will surely turn up.
Nothing to see here peasants move along, FJB
Isn’t it a crime to release someone’s tax returns?
Put an actual end to all Leftist Cheating, or else, The Left, of both major U.S. political parties, will continue to win future elections, for many decades to come.
Now, release FJB’s tax returns.
