LOL Look at what Cheeto in Chief said about Maddow and MSNBC

Trump says Rachel Maddow and NBC News are 'bad people' who have 'something wrong with them' for reporting on his tax returns




President Donald Trump took aim at MSNBC host Rachel Maddow and her colleagues at NBC News, calling them ‘bad people’ for revealing his 2005 tax returns during an episode of The Rachel Maddow Show earlier this week.

Trump made the remarks in a taped interview with Fox News that aired on Saturday.
The president said that ‘there’s something wrong’ with Maddow and he also accused whoever leaked the tax returns of violating the law.

‘They leaked them,’ Trump said. ‘It’s illegal to do what they did, I think.’

Maddow interviewed Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter David Cay Johnston, who obtained a copy of the first two pages of Trump’s 2005 federal tax returns.

The 2005 tax documents aired by MSNBC and published by Johnston showed that Trump earned $153 million in income in 2005 and paid $38 million in taxes.

‘I always heard a tax return was a very sacred kind of a thing,’ Trump said.

‘You don’t leak them. You’re not allowed to. It’s criminally offensive.’

‘But they put them out, and I think it was terrible. But they’re good from that standpoint of my tax returns are good. All of my tax returns are good.’

Trump told Fox News on Saturday that the tax returns are indicative of a larger trend in which anti-Trump elements are leaking damaging material to the press.

‘It’s terrible what’s going on in Washington. We have a certain establishment that’s leaking.’

‘A tax return is a very important thing and you’re not supposed to be leaking them, and they do,’ the president said.

There are tools now that can analyze college papers and tell you who wrote them, based on style, grammar, etc.

It's almost 100% acurate.

Between his incoherency and limited vocabulary , no way this guy did his own work in college. Would love to see his SAT's .

As in, "I'll be good," "I didn't do anything wrong," "The other kids did it," etc.

Surprised he can go to the bathroom by himself. Or maybe he can't.

They merely reported information they had. By the way, President Trump, why haven't you released your tax returns as you said you were going to? Or isn't your word a very sacred kind of thing?
