I’d rather see all elected officials expense accounts especially their campaign contribution expenditures.
I believe that their tax returns have nothing in common with their tax free expenditures.

Wait...is that not done? I'm a state employee and I had a full background investigation done on me. My brother is a federal employee and he too had a full background & criminal investigation.

Does the President of the United States not get a standard background check before taking office?

Charm, ha. The grifter is a total fraud and *******. I'm glad you find something because he is total failure as president in this crisis and as businessman he was questionable at success at best.

How about providing a copy of your birth certificate?

Trump repeatedly promised he would release his returns. Then he chose not to do so. He alone controlled delivering on his promise. He could have been honest about his intentions. Reasonable to conclude he lied for political gain.

“ Crooked Hillary” disclosed 30+ years of returns. The returns of the Clinton Foundation and Form 990# were always public information.

I was not and am not a Hillary fan.

Of course they should. This is common sense to most people.

But we're an ass-backwards nation, so it won't happen.

He owns the business. His income is what what he wants his business to pay him. He hires the accountants, lawyers and auditors.

Seeing his tax return would tell you exactly what he wants you to know.

I would like to see an audit of his businesses. All of them.

I have a friend who does business in another country. All his income from that business is in that country. The IRS has no knowledge of any of it. Now if he wants to bring any of that money into the USA, he has another problem. But so far, he works around it.
