Donald Trump didnt get his name by becoming a slumlord, his dad own the "questionable" real estate. Donald Trump made a name for himself by selling MULTI MILLION DOLLAR properties.

if thats slum to you, then bravo on your success, but many people would disagree.

Why dont you just stop acting all high and mighty..

DONALD TRUMP’S CHARITABLE GIVING CLAIMS SURE LOOK LIKE A SHAM

"Publicly available records for the Trump Foundation show that the real estate mogul has donated very little of his own money to his charity. Even more damning is the fact that few of those donations have gone to legitimate charitable causes, unless you count Trump’s own social interests and society galas as charities."

OWN MONEY..

Not only do you not understand the difference between a question and a statement, but now you dont know the difference between MONEY, and real estate..

Well the dems don't understand that if you don't earn any income, you don't pay any income tax.

They also think you can somehow determine net worth with tax returns.

Well that seems to be a lie on your part, there is plenty one can learn from tax returns, like how much income was earned, if any, we can also see what tax breaks he might of used. We can also see his charitable donations, if any, since I believe he has claimed to have donated a lot to charities.

Though releasing them just takes away any bit of questions that people might have about him and thus turns tax returns into a non-issue. Not releasing tax returns makes it look like he has something to hide from the public, thus makes it an issue.

Since I am sure you wish this to be a non-issue, you too should be all for him to release his tax returns and be done with it.

He's already released a list of properties he's donated, and while the values might be exaggerated, the IRS has no issue with them.

This whole "release them and be done with it" is hogwash.. You guys dont give a crap about them in reality.. its just something to whine about. I doubt any of you even looked at Romneys taxes..

I have no interest in any politician's tax returns.

It wasn't until this year that I ever saw a politician's tax returns, and it was because someone posted them in a thread I was reading on this forum.

The whole tax return thing is a non-issue because there is nothing in returns that is even remotely relevant.

So he claims, though that doesn't prove he has actually donated to any of those groups. Actually I do remember looking at the tax returns Romney had released, I have even looked at what McCain and Bush had released as well. It is very informative, though typically a non-issue once they are released because typically there is nothing wrong in them.

Though when someone refuses to release them, that makes people speculate that there might be something Trump is trying to hide from the public.

That's cool, then you don't have to concern yourself with their tax returns. I on the other hand am very interested in them.

Here are Hillary Clinton's tax returns.
https://www.hillaryclinton.com/page/tax-returns/

On a side note, I would like to see Jill Stein and Gary Johnson to release their tax returns as well.

This is the first year you have ever heard of a politician releasing their tax returns? How young are you? This has been a common practice in presidential elections for decades, since the 70s if I am not mistaken.

This is not the first time I've heard of tax returns being released, this year is the first time that I've ever seen a politician's returns. I haven't seen them in the past because I don't care what's in their returns because there is nothing in them that is relevant.

It's just like most of the election process, it's just a dog, and pony show to distract people from what is actually relevant.

We've got major issues in this country, and you are worried about how much Trump gave to charity last year.

Sorry, but I just don't care how much money someone made, or how much they gave to charity last year, I worried about what they are going to do about the problems facing the country.
