"I still dont understand why anyone cares about this" the vast majority on yhe left couldn't understand them even if he released them. It take the EXPERTS at the IRS over a year to go through all of them and the left thinks they are like the IRS short form!

Where is the LAW that says he HAS TO?

I though the left was FOR obeying the LAWS. Guess NOT!

You sound the little kid, "but mommy, all the others are doing it!"

Since Nixon? No. Ford never showed his actual taxes, he just gave an overview.

Didn't bother you when obama said you can keep your doctor, you can keep your insurance policy, it is not a tax, every American will SAVE $2,500 a year but, shovel ready jobs, it was the video, etc., but NOW!

Or when bill clinton went on national TV and lied through his teeth, I did NOT have sexual relations with that woman, or hillary, my helicopter was shot at, I did NOT have classified materiel on my private server, it was the video, etc. but, NOW....!

Liberals never learn too, I guess. First it will be their tax returns. Then it will be ours.



The income tax is breach of privacy. If there is wrong doing then what exactly is the IRS even doing? Sounds to me like da gubermnet is not even working. What say you , oh "liberty" loving liberals?

Does that say something about Trump's ability to manage finances?
"what's up with the USA president's failing business ventures", what's up with ALL of his successes.

It is NOT uncommon for businessmen to take RISKS, Some fail and some succeed.

Turing a few MILLION into BILLIONS is a sign MORE succeed then failed.

NOT having experienced any of these yourself, what right do you have to criticize lonesome else's successes and failures? Or have you?

" because he promised" I NEVER heard him say, I promise"

If I say, I am going to the store, is that promise? NO! Is it a lie? NO, because I could have changed my mind or other more important things to me came up.

"I have to think.." Why? What REAL info do you have to support such a claim other then you don't like him?

TDS is TRULY a metal disease!

Wow -- you are ranting and raging all over this thread -- as if it is you personally under attack and I have TDS..

Why would he say he would and then change his mind?

Come on --- I'll listen to an explanation.

I think it works against him NOT to release them so I think it's all good.
