Rachel Maddow's big SCOOP on Donald Trump's tax return turned into an embarrassing flop, with mockery coming at her from all directions, Rachel Maddow’s career committed suicide live on national TV tonight. Maddow did the unthinkable -- bringing together pro-Trump and anti-Trump together in horror at the horrendous clickbait. What was key was how Maddow herself build up the expectations with a pre-show tweet:

The McDonald's Twitter account created waves in the social media world Thursday morning with a tweet insulting President Trump. The tweet was published at 6AM and the alleged hacker even pinned it to the account, meaning it appeared at the very top of the account's Twitter page. McDonald's has deleted the tweet and claims their Twitter account was compromised.

Appearing on this evening's Hardball, David Johnston, who received part of Donald Trump's leaked 2005 tax return, said "I suspect" that Trump leaked "pornographic" photos of Melania to the New York Post.
DAVID JOHNSTON: At first I thought Donald might have leaked it [the tax return], but his reaction in turning what could have been for him a terrific story about himself, he's managed to squander by his reaction to this, so clearly he didn't leak. When Donald leaks things, he doesn't complain about them. He didn't complain about the pictures of his wife, the pornographic pictures that were published in the New York Post. He didn't complain about the three pages of state tax returns that got out last year. And I suspect both of those came from him.

Over the course of the last 2 months, the alt-left and their media minions have done nothing but rage against President Donald Trump. As a result, grass-roots leftists are now channeling their anger into verbally assaulting Trump's staff and destroying his property. Additionally, they are posting their atrocious behavior on social media.

You might think that—given the chance to chide the star of a competing network—CNN would have called out MSNBC's Rachel Maddow over her failed, overhyped "scoop" on Donald Trump's taxes. But nary a discouraging word about Maddow could be heard on CNN this morning.  Liberal media solidarity more important than beating the competition? Instead, commenting this morning on the release of Donald Trump's 2005 tax return, CNN's Chris Cuomo described the Alternative Minimum Tax [AMT] he paid as a "benefit" to Trump. It was just the opposite. The AMT Alternative Minimum Tax is designed to prevent people with large incomes from using deductions to reduce their tax liability beyond a certain amount. No matter how little a taxpayer would normally pay, the AMT imposes a higher minimum.

Rachel Maddow has a history of claiming big scoops which then flop. There was the debunked 2012 big scoop about supposed GOP wrongdoing in Michigan. And the 2014 big scoop that the Koch Brothers were behind Florida groups pushing drug testing for welfare recipients, which was not true. We covered the Florida non-scoop big scoop, Rachel Maddow’s come undone with Koch Derangement Syndrome.

President Donald Trump's promises to overhaul regulations and the tax codes along with positive sale outlooks have raised optimism among U.S. CEOs. The Business Roundtable conducted its CEO Economic Outlook Index, "a measure of expectations for revenue, capital spending and employment," found that the optimism jumped to 93.3. That's a jump of 19.1 points and the most since 2009.

CNN's 7 a.m. ET hour today began with a news montage. Have a look, and see if you don't agree that the hit parade of horribles for the Trump administration could just about as easily have been put together by the DNC as by CNN. Here's what was included:
  • McCain calls out Trump to provide evidence of wiretapping.
  • Dem Rep. Adam Schiff saying there'd be an open hearing; an unidentified voice saying "we're going to ask, is there any truth to this."
  • Kellyanne saying "the president has asked for the investigation into surveillance to be included."

Looks like Rachel Maddow's feminist solidarity doesn't extend to Melania Trump . . . Appearing on Al Sharpton's MSNBC show this morning, did Maddow express outrage over a newspaper report on the possibility that Melania Trump had in the past worked as an "escort?" Not at all. To the contrary, Maddow described Melania's lawsuit against the newspaper involved as part of an "attack" and "assault" on the media. Maddow fretted that the media lacked the resources to "fight back."

If you only read the mainstream, openly left-wing, and establishment Republican media, you'd think it was Apocalypse Now in America. Paraphrasing Pauline Kael's alleged statement about how she didn't see Nixon's win coming because she didn't know anyone who voted for him: The doom and gloom media doesn't know anyone who doesn't hate Trump and who isn't despondent, or if they do know such people, they discount them as imbeciles. But that's not what is reflected in the American spirit, as numerous polls have recently shown.

The liberal internet mob has been trying to destroy Ivanka Trump's clothing and accessories line. There have been calls for a boycott, and pressure put on retailers to drop the lines. When several retailers pulled Ivanka's products off the store shelves, there were hoots and hollers of joy in liberal land.

Trump has been accused of many things -- some deserved, some not. But this has to be a new one. Barbara Streisand recently blamed Trump for her decision to over-indulge in pancakes. Trump acts, Barbara eats. Or at least that's the impression her Twitter feed gives:

I didn't watch the Oscars. Why would I want to watch smug people who hate me congratulate themselves on how great they are? I'd rather vomit blood. Maybe that's not a fair analogy. I'd rather crawl on my stomach over hot coals covered with broken glass. Yeah, that's the ticket. I wasn't alone, as viewership hit a 9-year low, just a little more than half the audience in 1998. I was aware, however, that the NY Times planned to run a pretentious ad called "Truth" as a retort to Donald Trumps hits on fake news and, particularly, the NY Times.
