“Nothingburger” was one of a number of terms used to describe MSNBC host Rachel Maddow’s report on Donald Trump‘s 2005 tax return on Tuesday night.

In a segment she hyped up on Twitter, Maddow revealed the contents of two pages from Trump’s tax return for that year.

The return showed that Trump paid 24 per cent in tax on income of $150 million for the 2005 tax year.

That’s about the same amount that a married couple with two incomes totalling around $400,000 might have paid, said David Cay Johnston, the investigative journalist who obtained the return to start with.

Reactions varied on social media — but many expressed disappointment with a segment that was called “not a super compelling reveal.”

Many Twitter users weren’t impressed with Maddow’s report

Mad cow is decompensating, just like Olbermann, as the men in the white coats dragged him off the set.

Did she pay for those tax returns? Would that be a crime?

I demand that she release her tax returns and solicit 1 million more people to demand the same.

All day, I’ve been hearing left-tards claiming that it was President Trump who leaked the forms, knowing that in the media feeding frenzy they wouldn’t actually bother looking at the data, seeing that it portrayed the President in a favorable light...

So now the left-tards are claiming that President Trump is a “troll,” rather than the “Mr Potter” they imagine, and so desperately want him, to be.

These left-tards are determined to slime the President, no matter what. Their outright, overt hatred of President Trump completely dwarfs the enmity the press held for Nixon. The whole existence of the left-tards is to destroy President Trump, no matter who gets hurt, no matter what the cost.

I swear, if President Trump were to walk on water, the press would report, “Trump can’t swim!”

Slightly OT, how’d you like to be the poor slob who has his worst day ever immortalized for multiple generations in a TV show title sequence?

His name is Vinko Bogataj, and he was the Yugoslav entrant for "ski flying" at the 1970 Olympics in Obersdorf, Germany.
