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.
