Trump will never release his tax returns. Even though he said he would over 10 times since 2010. Nationalmemo compiled a list of every time Trump said he would release his taxes here: #ShowUsYourTaxes: Here
Even though Trump is the first president in 40 years not to release tax returns, he's not embarrassed by it.
The crazy thing is, him not releasing his tax returns isn't what bothers me the most. It's that Trump supporters keep acting like it isn't a big deal, yet if Obama had dared not release his tax returns, they would be screaming about it.
I wish there was one....JUST ONE conservative on City-Data that would admit they would be frustrated if Obama didn't release his tax returns. I'd love for somebody to step up to the plate and be honest...
Not necessarily. That is for the courts to decide. Just like Trump's muslim ban.
There are 25 states now proposing or passing legislation. The majority of the country is in favor of transparency, and that Trump should release his returns. If he has conducted his business in an aboveboard manner, he would have no problems. But he has probably transacted business similarly to the way he ran his Trump U. scam.
And you'll get that from a tax return how exactly? If you're truly interested in transparency and potential conflicts of interest then you look at the Financial Disclosure which will list every single source of income, property or stock holding, partnership, dividend, business contract, mortgage, etc.
The one I fill out for the State of Maryland is 18 pages long, minimum, and you will find out more about my finances from it than from my tax return.
And that's for what's essentially a volunteer position (although there is authorization for a salary but one is never appropriated).
Besides which, the only reason you guys want them released is to get more talking points to beat him with. Not a high enough rate, not enough charitable deductions, "Oh look, he has a mortgage from a bank that also has Russian clients", ad infinitum.
Ray Charles could see that.
Like with Mit Romney. All the left did once they got access to where he spends his money was to criticize him as out of touch with regular Americans, because he had a Cayman Island bank account and a car garage elevator.

OK...I'll admit it.
I'll admit that I didn't care about Obama's tax returns, either.
You could tell that Obama was a mediocre quantity just by looking at him.
Nobody needed a look at Obama's tax returns to see that, of course. It was completely obvious, in Obama's case.

Obviously the "what if" thing works both ways and people on both sides point that out constantly on here.
But this one is embarrassing for the Trumpskulls since, as you mentioned, Trump has said he would release them a gazillion times. Imagine if Obama did that.
The outrage would be like that time Obama invited Bruce Springsteen, Katy Perry and Elizabeth Warren to the White House for dinner and the three of them took that photo mocking Laura Bush's White House portrait.

I've been saying this for weeks.
If Trump has nothing to hide, why wouldn't every single conservative in the USA want Donald to release his taxes?
Conservatives always mention how much us liberals keep talking about his taxes, why not have Trump shut us all up once and for all by releasing them.
Conservatives nationwide would be cheering and making fun of all the liberals that made such a big deal over this.
