Donald Trump’s lawyers have issued a letter to proclaim that the president’s tax returns for the past decade have no “income of any type from Russian sources.” Well, “with few exceptions,” as the Associated Press tweeted.
BREAKING: Trump lawyer: Tax returns from past 10 years show no "income of any type from Russian sources," with few exceptions.

But Trump hasn’t released his tax returns, so the AP story about the letter came with a big fat caveat:
The lawyers did not release copies of Trump’s tax returns so The Associated Press cannot independently verify their conclusions.
But the sentiment was funny enough that “with few exceptions” immediately became a meme on Twitter. If you haven’t been on Twitter in the past 45 minutes you may have missed it. People are already complaining that it’s passé.
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself, with few exceptions.
