Why is the current wall, not racist, but because Trump wants to build, according to you.. a NEW wall.. (which anyone older than 5, would understand that to be nonsense), would be racist..

That is, the argument of those who oppose the wall after all.
This is you, correct?

Even if he did want to "finish" a wall that was already started, what does that have to do with anything? The fact still remains that a "wall" would be a massive waste of time, money and resources all while making a minimal difference when it comes to smuggled drugs and people.
Texas alone has 1200 miles border between Mexico and the USA..

And the cost to build it, would be saved in ONE month, given the amount of taxpayer funded spending goes to fund illegals..

Your "opinion", which changes as you get proven wrong, is meaningless.

I think it is just an excuse. He is buying as much time as he can. I expect that he will hold off all the way to the election. If he loses (which he most likely will), he will simply state that now there is no more point in releasing them and so he won't. If he wins, I highly suspect Trump will pull a simple "haha, I'm a winner!" and then not even take the presidency and not release his returns. This is one big publicity stunt and Trump doesn't want the world to know how much he's inflated his net worth.
He's not going to release his tax returns because it's none of your business, and he's not going to play the game. He's not going to wear the red ribbon either.

if you want to make believe there is a different border between Mexico and the USA that the rest of us are unaware of, then its best you leave.

Actually it doesn't matter if Trump releases his tax returns or not because of two reasons. One, we already know he is lying about how much he claims he is worth, and two, it doesn't matter that he is lying because Trump followers will just make excuses and keep following their beloved Donald.

So you are saying that Trump miscalculated with his proposed 1,000 mile wall? OK.

Please link to facts supporting your statement that "the cost to build it, would be saved in ONE month, given the amount of taxpayer funded spending goes to fund illegals.. "

No, it's not a balance sheet. But a series of tax returns can shed a lot of light on his income (he also put out recent claims on his income to go along with his wealth claims) and potentially provide a good dose of evidence to either support or strongly question is claims. It can also shed light on tax shelters he's playing with, what he does as far as charity goes... He knows the kinds of things people could see, and he knows he has something to hide, and that's why he's hiding them. And he's entitled to, so that's his choice...but we just know from it that clearly he's hiding something.

Experts have put the cost to build a wall at about $25 billion dollars..

We spend upwards of $100 billion a year in federal expenditures supporting illegals, everything from eduction, to healthcare, plus another $200 billion in suppressed wages.

This doesnt count things like crime costs.

no, a tax return has absolutely ZERO ability to shed light on wealth..

Warren Buffet claims income of $100K a year from BRK, and about $2.5 million from other sources.

From that "income'" you can not deduce his total wealth around $70 billion since his stock holdings DO NOT SHOW on the return..

Stop embarrassing yourself.
