Donald Trump Jr. is using social media to poke fun at Rachel Maddow.
On Tuesday, the MSNBC host teased that she would be releasing President Trump’s tax returns, before clarifying that the document she was referring to was the commander-in-chief’s 1040 form from 2005.
BREAKING: We've got Trump tax returns. Tonight, 9pm ET. MSNBC.
(Seriously).

What we've got is from 2005… the President's 1040 form… details to come tonight 9PM ET, MSNBC.

Before Maddow could release the news, however, the White House put out its own statement, revealing that the president paid $38 million in federal taxes in 2005, a year when the former New York real estate developer brought in just under $153 million in income. According to Fortune‘s Stephen Gandel, that puts Trump at a tax rate of just 25% in a year when the top rate he would have qualified for was 35%.
While the president may have paid fewer taxes than he qualified for, some Trump supporters are seeing the news in a positive light. His son, Donald Jr., even went so far as to thank Maddow for “proving” that his father is a successful, law-abiding citizen who pays taxes.
Thank you Rachel Maddow for proving to your #Trump hating followers how successful @realDonaldTrump is & that he paid $40mm in taxes! #Taxes

Trump made tongue-in-cheek comments about the left-leaning television anchor being a closeted conservative, but also issued a more serious attack on media in general, calling the industry “biased” and full of “seemingly anti-American hatred.”
