No, what it shows is that I can read what the article literally says. You should read it, instead of soaking in your own prejudices.

Trump said he paid no taxes. The report details how much tax he paid. How is that not a lie? Can't wait for the alt-right spin.

And, as you folks are fabulously famous for noting, one guy who happens just have come across this tax return is not a solid basis in the era of fake news, alternative facts, and flat out lies. Maybe it's true -- and if it is, it's also proof of Trump's lie.

Simply what the article says, Einstein.

Unless you're using "alternative reading comprehension."

The president not only said so during the televised debates, he even added that it made him "smart." That's the context.

Again, without straw, you have no thought. Without attacks, you have nothing to post. And whatever the topic, you make it about me.
"I see MM people!"

It's YOU desperately concerned with looking "smart." I'm good at the professional things I do, and like to learn about a variety of things ongoing. And I'm always open to new information that changes my mind. Not, like you and Nanji, worried about how you look (and consequently making you/yourselves look ridiculous much of the time).

What I posted was simply flat out fact laid out in the article. You might actually read it.

Granted, that Trump lied is not exactly news these days, as it's a daily occurrence.

And granted, that he continually lies doesn't seem to bother his supporters one bit.

No, you just demonstrated you're an idiot. Again.

The article itself makes exactly this case.

Again demonstrating you can't/won't read.

If the president said he paid no taxes, as you claim, what was the exact context.

Do you even know what context is, what it means, or are you really as stupid as you appear to be

"The only years that anybody's ever seen were a couple of years when he had to turn them over to state authorities when he was trying to get a casino license, and they showed he didn't pay any federal income tax," Clinton said in September.

Trump quickly retorted: "That makes me smart."

Again demonstrating you can't/won't read:

On her Tuesday show, Rachel Maddow teased a scoop: She had Donald Trump's 2005 tax returns. It was the first time his federal returns would be released.

Small digression: MSNBC's Maddow didn't have them. Investigative reporter David Cay Johnston got them, and went on her show to talk about it.

Anyway, when she finally revealed what was in the taxes, it was not a huge deal. Trump earned about $150 million in income in 2005, and paid $38 million in taxes, thanks to the alternative minimum tax, which he wants to kill.

This gives Trump an effective tax rate of about 24 percent, which Johnston pointed out was roughly equal to what he and his wife, who are an upper middle class couple, pay.

And, sure, for a billionaire, you can argue that he should pay more in taxes. But, $38 million is a big number. As is $150 million in income.

There was speculation, fueled by Trump himself, that he wasn't paying anything in taxes. That led to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton attacking him on that front.

"The only years that anybody's ever seen were a couple of years when he had to turn them over to state authorities when he was trying to get a casino license, and they showed he didn't pay any federal income tax," Clinton said in September.

Trump quickly retorted: "That makes me smart."

....and again showing that you never tire of making yourself look stupid, usually when you're blindly thrashing about because (gasp!) I posted something, so you haul out the straw and the attacks, the only thing you know how to do. Not very smart.
