As cryptic as Rachel Maddow’s tweet was, her style of slowly and excitingly revealing the details of Trump’s tax returns was unbeatable! David Johnson of The Daily Beast pointed out the Donal Trump’s effective tax rate turned out to be approximately 24% which roughly sums up to the upper-middle-class couple’s taxes to be paid to the government.

However, this detail cleared up the rumor that Donald Trump hadn’t been paying taxed, the rumor that Trump on his own incited in one of his campaign speeches. After the show was over, Donal Trump Jr., Trump’s son, tweeted thanking Rachel Maddow for proving to her followers who are mostly Trump’s haters how successful Trump is and “that he paid $40mm in taxes”.

Adding to the release, the White House spokesperson also released a statement that Trump had indeed paid $38 million dollars “even after taking into account large-scale depreciation for construction, on an income of more than $150 million dollars”. He also added that Trump had paid it other taxes such as sales and excise taxes and employment taxes. He also added that the publication of this detail without consent is “illegal to steal and publish tax returns.”

Although Trump had been claiming on his campaigns how h was clever to evade taxes and never pay any of them, it turns out that Trump did pay his taxes, at least in 2005. Trump’s tax returns of 2005 have made people more eager to learn his tax returns in other years as well.
