Well, since Trump is the most transparent president ever, you should have no worries. Everything's rosy, isn't it?

Trump doesn't respect any of us and constantly goes after anyone who disagrees with him. He has no intention of working with democrats for the good of our country. He has divided like us like no other president.
Yes, the Obamas are intelligent, educated and capable adults, possessing class among other positive traits and are entirely unlike the child-in-chief. Gratefully, most people are aware of the difference.

Get over it.

Why wouldn't you want him to reveal his tax returns? Afraid of what they might show about the true nature of his assets/debts/obligations/connections to foreign powers?

Agree with this. Additionally, there's an essential difference between most or all of our Presidents in recent times & Mr. Trump. Even if one didn't particularly agree with one or the other, one was aware they were cognizant of the essential nature of the job ~ i.e. to serve in the best interests of the Country & the American people. Mr. Trump seems unaware of this ~ i.e. he serves in his own best interest, full stop.

Most or all Presidents since Mr. Nixon have done so. It's not legally binding, however it's most definitely 'in the spirit' of the Emoluments Clause. Transparency tends to engender trust. (Not to mention, it likely would've made some of the current investigatiions unnecessary if the American people had full knowledge of what they were getting into.)

You misunderstand. What's being destroyed is the Leftist spin and the supporters of it.

Mr. Bannon allegedly speculated that Mr. Trump Jr had involved his father in the Trump Tower meeting, & he's certainly not a "Leftist". He said, “The chance that Don Jr did not walk these jumos up to his father’s office on the twenty-sixth floor is zero.”

That may be an allegation only, & just Mr. Bannon's opinion. Although, consider this: who's running Mr. Trump's businesses?

Says the guy whose side manufactured the pee pee dossier in an attempt to unseat an elected president...

I'm curious to know what tune you will be singing after this leads to investigations into foreign influence in our press and through the Clinton Foundation, to start. This precedent is going to backfire on the Left in ways that the base is not predicting.

PS, who's saying he didn't pay taxes? He's just 'pleading the 5th' when it comes to his tax returns.
Didn't he pay $38 million in taxes in 2004 or 2005?
