Just check out the tax laws he broke from Michael Cohan's trial testimony.
I presume that if he broke tax laws, and that was documented in his tax forms, that he would already be in jail. No, there has to be another reason he is so protective of his taxes. I mean, to go all the way to the Supreme Court, it must be a very embarrassing revelation.

I would suspect it shows that he is not a billionaire or even a millionaire. Trump is ego driven, so it's likely pride. And that's kind of depressing for him...and the rest of us.

And since no reputable bank will lend to him I'm willing to bet that he's up to his keister in debt to Russian oligarchs.

Which would explain Vladimir Putin's mysterious hold over him (that and the P tape of course).

The latest:

President Donald Trump’s effort to fight a prosecutor’s subpoena for his tax records was rejected Thursday by a federal judge, handing another loss to the president in a high-profile case that already made its way to the Supreme Court.

U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero said the president failed to show that the subpoena would pose an unfair burden, siding in favor of Manhattan D.A. Cyrus Vance Jr., who has said his office is pursuing an investigation of potential violations of state law. Trump is likely to appeal the decision to a higher court. ”

Further:

“ Marrero wrote that he could not “mechanically credit” the president’s new arguments, likening them to “absolute immunity through a back door.”

Marrero dismissed the case with prejudice, effectively preventing the president from bringing new arguments to the court for why the subpoena should not be enforced.
