For seven years the media have walked the American people through a journey to publicize President Donald J Trump’s tax returns, using phrases like “bigger than Watergate.” Promising, almost daily, the results of their quest would be “the beginning of the end” of Trump.
Thousands of hours of media punditry shouting about the holy grail paper trail sure to culminate in a result “devastating beyond all imaginings.”
Meanwhile, millions of column inches were filled with “bombshell” promises of deep expose’s, certain to highlight how the universal villain of all things universally villainous would be crushed under the weight of financial nakedness.
This moment, they promised, would be second only in political consequence to origin of our constellation. The quest for Trump’s taxes was the culmination of thousands of hours of deep Lawfare expertise, an epic battle worthy of Homer.
A horrible human would explode in shame they said. Yes, Trump was about to be exposed by professionals, DC experts who build careers understanding the complex system of tax filings, financial schemes and arcane laws. WATCH:
These were the Gandolfian wizards, heroes as proclaimed by the pretorian guard media, the gatekeepers who would finally gain access to the epicenter of the one true financial enlightenment that would forever destroy Godzilla Trump and crush the empire beneath him.
Breaths were held as “soon” they swore. Pearls were clutched as ticks were tocked. ‘Any moment now’, the masses began to shout. Busses and trains stopped. Swarms of people rushed home to watch television. Flights were being cancelled as the moment drew near. The economy came to a halt as thrills were pronounced to be running up legs.
The world’s most investigated human in all humanity was on the cusp of the abyss. The moment had finally arrived. The culmination of years of baited anticipation. This was THE moment; this was THEIR moment….
Boxes were spotted passing through the halls of congress. “That’s them,” people muttered clamoring for a glimpse. MSNBC finally, after years of anticipation, triggered the countdown clock – as a visibly climaxing Rachel Maddow could no longer contain the spontaneous ecstasy.
And then…
Nothing.
The world’s most anticipated and promoted financial disclosure in the history of the modern universe, was a complete nothingburger.
The only person who seems happy is Geraldo Rivera; likely thinking perhaps now his opening of Al Capone’s empty vault has finally been eclipsed in its ridiculous nothingness.
President Donald Trump’s taxes show an ordinary schedule of incomes and losses that fit within the four corners of every other tax filing by every other private company owner. Incomes that rose and fell with the U.S. economy. Worse yet, the filings show income losses that were amplified by Donald Trump’s decision to put aside his business interest and run for public office.
Yes, Donald Trump is the first President of the United States who lost money as an outcome of his political ascendency because he never sold his office to any individual, corporation, multinational or financial interest. President Donald J Trump worked for the American people, using policies that were designed to help the American people, from within an office that was created to benefit the American people.
For the media, the world’s loudest sad trombone.
doesn’t matter – the left media will just keep repeating the word of the day “the end of the Trump Presidency” that their bosses assigned thismorning and their rabid uninformed audience will believe and repeat it ….I have really intelligent friends who on get their news from MSNBC, the NYTimes and CNN and consider themselves “well informed”…they live in such an echo chamber that they don’t even know they are being lied to. The thing about being a Republican is that you can’t HELP but hear what the other side is saying (from their own mouths, not the way it is being presented)…… Biden said today: “Our politics has gotten so angry, so mean, so partisan, and too often we see each other as enemies, not as neighbors, as Democrats or Republicans, not as fellow Americans,” said the man who gave a speech denouncing half the country as enemies against a backdrop that brought to mind the Third Reich
Still “get their news from MSNBC, the NYT and CNN =/= ” really intelligent”.
Parrot/people able to repeat their trainers/teachers squawking points == clever =/= “very intelligent” or free.
Corporate Mockingbird Medias power is a manufactured and frantically maintained Wizard of Oz illusion.
Thank God for Toto Trump and those who turn away from the TV illusions to see what he keeps barking about.
Those who turn away made a “really intelligent” decision.
We are seeing the results of decades of educational philosophy called “teach to the test:” rewarded and being called intelligent for regurgitating facts with no critical thinking skills
It’s not teach to the test. It is Marxist theology training that has poisoned our educational system.
Life long Republican here and I am walking away from the party today because of Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell. This BS about election integrity is the straw that broke this patriots back. “F” them all and walk away. They don’t deserve your loyalty. None of them do.
What do you mean BS about election integrity?? The elections are being rigged by the Establishment. Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan probably involved which is why they never said one affirmative word about it. Give up on them but don’t fall for the lie that elections are anywhere close to clean right now. That’s false
Cleaning house Has to be done at the lowest level, precinct level, county level. Like school boards. If we can clean things up at the lower level maybe we can clean house from the bottom up?
After the women of Virginia put up a fight and took over the school another school did the same. There was a lot of bru ha ha for a month or so then it died down. No more school boards being taken over, Why is that? it is because Republicans are lazy, stupid ignorant voters who do not care about their country.
Except in North C arolina…school boards took a shellacing across the state.
Exactly. 2024 will be the test of whether or not Big Media really can fool all the people all of the time. I think not. I’m really looking forward to the next Trump rally. I’ve not ever attended one in person. The next one he calls will be an epic success or an epic failure. I’m planning on driving to wherever it might be to see how things turn out. No matter how far or near it may be, it will be worth the trip. I’m hard down for it.
I helieve you misunderstood Alano’s comment. The “bs about election integrity” is the weasel words people like The Turtle and Li’l Paul spout, while they work quietly to help their so-called opponents hijack votes. Correct me if I am wrong, Alano, but that’s my takeaway from your post.
May I suggest that you take the party back. There are numerous books and pamphlets on how to take over a local constituency, then a state party and then the national. The Dems did it to the Republicans very easily. So a real Republican should be able to do the same.
It is too risky and difficult to make a third party. This is exactly what the Dems want for perpetual power.
It would be harder to take over the Dems as they invented the scam.
That’s just reinforcing the illusion that the Democrats and Republicans are any different. Fed up people have been saying for decades at least, that we need to take back the Republican party. I don’t think so. It is a game of propaganda.
“See, Governor DeSantis is exposing the Covid-19 corruption. He should be President.” They are playing you like a cat with a shinny ball.
Vote for Donald Trump. He will drain the swamp at last. Only he didn’t and we are not only not right back where we started from but it is getting worse everyday. How many times will we hold out hope that if we could just take back the Republican party everything would be OK.
The Grand Old GOPe is full of RINOs. Get rid of McConnell and he will just be replaced by someone as bad or worse. Time to replace this failed institution instead of “taking it back”.
Waiting until after the Presidential primary…
Yes, its time to let the Republican Party go the way of the Whigs. With the entrenched leadership that seems impossible to oust the R party is at best simply worthless.
“worthy of Homer”, Homer Simpson?
Of course the left will spin the fact that Trump lost money during the years of his Presidency as “he’s a fake, never was a smart businessman” etc- all the while hiding how the Biden Crime Family has been fleecing foreign entities for years….Joe is REALLY stupid putting Hunter in charge of this scheme…Hunter is a sissy boy and will fold like a paper fan when in front of Congress……
No, he won’t. He’ll plead the 5th.
I WILL HAVE TO DISAGREE, Hunter will tell all, He will blame his Dad for ruining his life, and he will be right.
Maybe, the daughter he molested and showered with will come forward too or maybe she got a big sum of money to shut up.
lol…Hunter and his sister were abused by their disgusting pedo father. The daughter’s diary attests to that very fact noting how “The Big Guy” showered with her when she was on the cusp of being a teenager. Hunter’s behavior is a result of inflicted abuse from “The Big Guy” and is a desperate cry for help. A disgusting, dysfunctional group of animals that are, somehow, in the White House.
You really believe Hunter will testify? Wanna buy my bridge and my beachfront property in Arizona so’s you can watch Hunter’s trial in comfort?
Media is the enemy of the USA

Now investigate Bill Gates taxes who is gifting shares to his own charity / foundation tax free.
Sure its all legal, but a good way to have tax free spending.
Just pointing out that if you are rich enough money just becomes a shell game and capital losses are an asset as you can deduct them from capital gains in the past or future. In fact many would take a strategic paper financial loss this way.
Same nothingness we have been saying for years. This just means we can rub their noses in it, and I certainly will.
The only way we beat them is by getting rid of the machines. They are panicking over people like Dave Clements effort to do just that. Panic!

Why in the world would you post that Reuters link?
I doubt these people know what panic is which is why their evil just goes deeper and wider every year. They have bought into their own insulation and have plenty of recent examples to prove they just can’t lose.
Make voting day a national holiday. Allow mail in voting only under strict rules. Overseas or medical.
Paper ballots and purple fingers.
Sounds good to me, but how are you going to accomplish that when half the voters in this country have bought in to the lie that requiring ID to vote is somehow racist?
The American people want to see tax returns for every congress person as well as every federal employee at the GS13 level and above. Fair is fair. If this was done on an annual basis corruption would drop like a stone. How many want to see Nancy Pelosi and her husband’s tax return?
How many would like to see how ALL our congressional members’ money is being laundered in the Ukraine, the most corrupt country in Europe whose income stream comes from child,drug and arms trafficking.
Great,…. thanks for setting the precedent, Marixist Dims,…. now hand over yours, Nasty Nan, Chuck You and Commander and Chief of Corruption DementJoe, along with your Bag-man son, Humpher.
Roadrunner Trump baits TDS damaged Wile Es into doing exactly what he wants.
Unlike armchair impatients who expect real world episodes of DC Wile Es versus Roadrunner Trump to wrap up in Warner Bro Cartoon time, Trump has preternatural patience plus relentless focus.
Thank God.
After all that noise.
After all the fanfare, these idiots finally got what they wanted, and achieved nothing. It feels so good watching these buffoons make a fool of themselves after all these years.
But the “J6 insurrectionists” are still rotting in a DC prison. The uniparty ba$tards have many points on the scoreboard.
You are very correct, my good sir!
It’s hard to know who to hate more…the Dems?…the GOPe?…the media?
And the difference is…? Even Mccarthy couldn’t keep his party unified against Pelosi’s final shiv.
Forget the Democratic socialist party of America they are doing what you would expect communist party members to do, work tirelessly to destroy American freedom from the ground up, the invasion , Tax increases, inflation,corruption on a scale so unbridled it has overwhelmed the FBI, CIA , DOJ, along with the destruction of election integrity we now stand at the breach of total and complete enslavement! But it is the betrayal of the only institution capable of turning the Tide, the RNC, they with malice and afore thought, neutered the 22 election gains , by giving the communist party of America total financial control of the American People, our destruction draws near.
When the R senators vote in unison in January to retain McConnell as leader, you’ll know beyond a doubt that you and I are not interesting to the R party. All talk. No conviction.
Did the Trumpster fight against this (in part) because he wanted egg on their faces once they did get them?
“Please Mr Fox, do NOT throw me in that briar patch” begged the rabbit.
One motivation for Trump emulating this famous Uncle Remus story is the precedent it sets. Now he/we can access every corrupt “Fox’s” IRS filings, including their foundations.
Remember, Trump baited the TDS unhinged “Mr Foxes” into taking this all the way to the SCOTUS. Lol.
As liberals and never Trumpers scream a collective “curses, foiled again” at being outwitted and played by PDJT it is important to note the lengths to which his enemies have gone to wind up with egg on their faces….again. From local DA’s in SDNY to the US House of Representatives (with dubious assent from US Supreme Court), the President, asserting his rights to privacy, made them all look foolish as they assigned their moral values to hide corrupt practices to him as well. But perhaps their may be a silver lining here. To cover their efforts to single him outbfor special treatment they passed a bill making every President liable for tax return investigations. And logically, if the Legislative branch demands tax return examination it would follow that the Executive branch have an annual go at the Legislative Branch.
The photos and text were interwoven beautifully. Very well done!! You made me laugh and that is a prized response nowadays. I never gave this issue one moment’s thought. When Trump was running for office, he said, I’ve released all my financial records for public viewing and they will tell you more than my tax returns. On a radio talk show, a financial advisor validated that Trump was correct, tax returns are limited as regards financial info and the finance records/balance sheets from his corporations would tell much more. Media types/would-be journalists are ignorant, apparently, of so much about life, and finance is no exception. Because their end goal is nihilism, not truth, they are not open to reason and facts. Due to that, they cannot discover any truth in life. They also prove again that thinking is not automatic.
A glorious article and video, just as I expected, thank you!
Now let’s see the tax returns on all the rest!
Now, since Trump has had his tax returns made public,All those politicians and big business should have theirs made public also………….Seems fair to me…….
And with that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you set a legal ‘precedent’.
From now on, all current and former American ‘public servant’ tax records will be subject to public scrutiny and review.
Offshore accounts, Foundations, ‘Trusts’, LLC’s, insider trading, ‘non-profit’ donations to themselves or their campaigns, ‘donations’ to family members, money laundering, fund funneling… all of it; subject it to an audit.
Merry Christmas, b*tches.
Muahahaaa.
Never seen such a bunch of ‘yahoos’ Washington is so frightened that Trump might get elected again and mess up there little totalitarian regime Washington has going, that they wet their pants at thought of Trump being President again
In a sane world Sundance would be tops at a no-nonsense tabloid like the New York Post once was. He’d bring hard-hitting news stories with laff-out-loud headlines like the one over this article. Nowadays, there is no better journalism anywhere than right here at CTH, and that’s the truth. News. Humor. Facts. As sane people once said in the Big Apple before it turned rotten, “What’s not to like about that?” Merry Christmas to all!
So, now that the precedent has been set, can some enterprising lawyer get all of Obama‘s records unsealed for public view and ultimate transparency? I won’t hold my breath. However, that said “what’s good for the goose should be good for the gander.” Or something like that.
Indeed. Thank you.
Clarification:
a sad RUSTY trombone they are playing (look it up on urban dictionary)
When in modern times has a peoples advocate actually been shown thru these 7 years of attacks 24/7, investigations and impeachments based on lies and then turn out to be exactly what he really says he is, the peoples advocate who shows in example what has to be done, it is called sacrifice for the Republic for which he stands.
That NY lawsuit over inflating the value of his assets, etc. That’s going to fizzle out as well. It can all be explained and it’s all legal.
MAGA cannot and should not co-exist with Republican/RINO power. Period. Wish Trump had bailed on them in 2020, but alas, I hope he surprises me in near future. The elites have the status quo fully and unequivocally gamed (as evidenced by Senate). With the choices of 2 party civil war (MAGA loses w/ DeSantis leading the RINO team) or 3 party head to head, I’m not sure USA loses on this (with respect given to D’s ability to buy/game votes) . Sadly, even our POTUS is reaching his shelf life to see this through. Who picks up the banner?
I am glad to hear this. One can suspect it is all a 7 years lie, but one never knows until the communists fall flat on their traitors faces.
crapocrats come up emptyhanded lol bye nancy and company, and good riddance
As usual they waisted time and came up with nothing. Anyone who has been paying attention would have already known what the outcome would be.
A bunch of those people have lost their job, went to jail, and were exposed as the shills they are.
Remember Michael Avenati for President? From prison now? The shear insanity is amazing!
Thank the dimocrats for proving that Trump is the most innocent person alive today. They haven’t found anything. At. All. Ever. LOL.
The leftist media obsession is beyond tiresome! We think of them as brainless idiots, as they demonstrate exactly that! As their audiences shrink in tiresome disgust while looking for some actual news for a change!
