BREAKING : Latest Revelation about Trump’s Tax Return is DEVASTATING to CNN

Not only did President Trump pay a higher tax rate in 2005 than ex-Presidents and candidates including GW Bush, Mitt Romney, Bernie Sanders, John Kerry and Bill Clinton, he also paid more than most others in his (quite wealthy) income bracket.

As Donald Trump Jr. pointed out in a tweet, this reality was NOT the narrative CNN was hoping for.

From WashingtonExaminer

A leaked version of President Trump’s tax return from 2005 shows that he actually paid a higher tax rate than a typical taxpayer in his income group.

Trump paid $38 million in taxes on $150 million of reported income that year, for an effective average tax rate of 25.3 percent.

But that year, those among the top 0.1 percent of taxpayers had an average tax rate of 22.48 percent, according to data from the Tax Foundation.

Though Trump’s taxes were mostly comprised of a massive $31 million alternative minimum tax payment, there is nothing unusual about his overall tax rate. In fact, he paid more than others with his income.

Now @CNN is upset that the returns that they have been dying to get their hands on for 18 months are out but it doesn't fit their narrative!
