No. All candidates period. The point of making their tax returns public is to help screen out the dirtbags. You let one guy get a pass on that and look what happened.
In order to get more unbiased answers, I've excluded POTUS 45 from this question so Trump supporters can be more objective.
Starting with Biden in 2021, or Trump's predecessor in 2025, do you believe that a presidential candidate must, by law, be required to disclose all personal and any business financials to the public? Do the American people deserve to know?
As I type this, Donald Trump's attorney is before the United States Supreme Court right now, trying to argue why president Trump's finances should be kept hidden from the American people.
Every president for the last 40 years has voluntarily released their tax returns. It's become such the norm that most candidates, regardless of political party, release their tax returns openly and freely, with transparency being the primary motivator.
Trump has defied so many norms with his presidency, I feel like he's exposed a lot of loopholes that voters from both political parties need to be addressed by Congress, with tax returns being one of them. I also personally believe that anyone running for president must have some government experience, whether it's at the municipal/state/federal government level, or having served in the military. But that's a whole separate conversation.
Not including Donald Trump, do you think Congress should change the laws to require every future candidate in the general election to disclose their tax returns? I say yes.
I am all for forcing people to disclose things that IRS has already approved.
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.
Trump is so beloved his son (Donald John Trump Junior) will win the Republican primary in 2024 simply because he shares the same name....

Please nobody will want a Trump by that point. Lemme guess, you weren't fine with Jeb or Hillary based on names... You are a hypocrite, just like the others that don't want political dynasties...
I notice that your post didn't reply to any of my comments so I have to guess that you admit it is all true.
- tax returns are not needed by the 'murican public.
This is true. The IRS should do their job and handle any violations.
Quote:
- a person's net worth is not needed and is not anyone else's business.
This has always been true.
Quote:
- a person's current or previous sexual liaisons, even if outside the marriage, doesn't matter.
This has always been true. Read about John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Bill Clinton.
However, it is not true if your name is Joe Biden.
Quote:
- a candidate accused of sexual assault is being attacked by the opposition and therefore those allegations may be disregarded.
This is not true if your name is Kavanaugh.
Quote:
- an accuser alleging sexual assault by a candidate should be given no credence.
Only if your name is Joe Biden or Bill Clinton.
Quote:
- uncouth, misogynistic sexual verbiage, even if captured on tape, is fine.
- lying repeatedly is fine.
True. Men behaving like men in a locker room is normal. If you haven't experienced it, you don't live in the real world.
Quote:
- making up or passing along conspiracy theories to the public is A-ok
True. Obama is still doing it.
