On Tuesday liberal TV host Rachel Maddow announced she had gotten a hold of Donald Trump’s tax returns and that she’d be releasing them on her nightly show.
As ZeroHedge reports, the supposed tax returns turned out to be a couple of pages and were essentially a complete non-story, because it had already been reported by The Daily Beast. The White House itself issued a statement about one hour before Maddow was set to release the supposedly “leaked” documents.
The internet immediately took the opportunity to pounce on Maddow’s scoop:

And just a little flashback:
Not only is Donald Trump going to lose on November 8th, but next year he's going to start paying his fair share of taxes.

Reminder: While Trump probably pays no federal taxes, he wants a $4 billion tax break for his own family. https://t.co/T1OAQgo7qq pic.twitter.com/2QDJ7esJix

The only Twitter page that appears to be silent this evening is that of President Donald Trump.
