Hey, if MSNBC says they're significant, they're significant.

Should have elected Trump's accountant then, I suppose.

He did not promise to release the results from a colonoscopy. He did promise on numerous occasions to do so as soon as the audit was done. Once elected, he choose not to honor his promise.

His campaign staff, then Admin stuck their necks out for him and iterated those promises.

How is he vindicated? He paid 4% in federal income tax; the other taxes he pays he wants to get rid of.

4%. He paid 4% in federal income tax. Yeah, sure, that's fair.

Agreed! This was a lot of hype and revealed nothing about his sources of income or his charitable contributions.

A complete joke after all the build up!

You don't know if the audit is over. They can last over 2 years. I have been audited.

Even if he broke his promise, he wouldn't be the first politician to do so.

Why wouldn't he release tax returns that prove he actually paid taxes?

All those 2 pages showed is that he paid taxes in 2005 but not the sources of his income. Why wouldn't a citizen want to know this information?

Funny that when Hillary Clinton was a private citizen and made speeches at Goldman Sachs, all of the Trump supporters insisted she release the transcripts. Trump won the election and promised to release his tax returns, so where are they?

What??? How do you know what I "bought into" or would or wouldn't do or say? You know NOTHING about me.

I KNEW when this was announced it wouldn't amount to SQUAT because anyone with a brain knows that Trump will NEVER release his recent tax returns. NEVER. Not in our lifetime.

This is just Trump's way of changing the narrative from the Justice Dept/FBI wiretapping fiasco - you know, all these uncomfortable lies and careless words which need to 'splained a zillion different ways and other incendiary accusations he can't substantiate.
