Trump says Rachel Maddow and NBC News are 'bad people' who have 'something wrong with them' for reporting on his tax returnsPresident 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 theres something wrong with Maddow and he also accused whoever leaked the tax returns of violating the law.
They leaked them, Trump said. Its 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 Trumps 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 dont leak them. Youre not allowed to. Its criminally offensive.
But they put them out, and I think it was terrible. But theyre 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.
Its terrible whats going on in Washington. We have a certain establishment thats leaking.
A tax return is a very important thing and youre 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.

(82,849 posts)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?
