For some people. Most are much more detached and see only the surface. The main message they receive is that Trump's taxes are a supposed enormous deal and then when released he paid loads of taxes and there was nothing bad.
It will be fun to watch all the cognitive dissonance play out. It was immediately apparent that this was a huge Trump win and that Maddow fucked up big, and it was only after the initial impact when rationalizations came about and we began seeing these cognitive dissonance responses. Remember Trump IS STUPID and Trump's taxes ARE HIDING SOMETHING TERRIBLE and he IS A FOOLISH PERSON WHO COULD NEVER ORCHESTRATE SOMETHING THAT HURTS GODDESS MADDOW; therefore Trump's antagonists have only two choices: acknowledge that they are wrong and have been wrong for a long time, or find some sort of dismissive explaining-away cognitive dissonance rationalization that allows them to maintain their self-image and worldview.
